33. We find that B = {2, 3}. Since A and B have the same elements, they are equal.

34. Let x ∈ A. Then x = 1, 2, 3. If x = 1, since 1 ∈ Z+ and 12 < 10, then x ∈ B. If x = 2, since 2 ∈ Z+ and
22 < 10, then x ∈ B. If x = 3, since 3 ∈ Z+ and 32 < 10, then x ∈ B. Thus if x ∈ A, then x ∈ B.
RO
Now suppose that x ∈ B. Then x ∈ Z+ and x2 < 10. If x ≥ 4, then x2 > 10 and, for these values of x,
x∈/ B. Therefore x = 1, 2, 3. For each of these values, x2 < 10 and x is indeed in B. Also, for each of
the values x = 1, 2, 3, x ∈ A. Thus if x ∈ B, then x ∈ A. Therefore A = B.

37. Since (−1)3 − 2(−1)2 − (−1) + 2 = 0, −1 ∈ B. Since −1 ∈
/ A, A 6= B.

38. Since 32 − 1 > 3, 3 ∈

45. Let x ∈ A. Then x = 1, 2. If x = 1,

x3 − 6x2 + 11x = 13 − 6 · 12 + 11 · 1 = 6.

Thus x ∈ B. If x = 2,
D?
x3 − 6x2 + 11x = 23 − 6 · 22 + 11 · 2 = 6.
Again x ∈ B. Therefore A ⊆ B.

46. Let x ∈ A. Then x = (1, 1) or x = (1, 2). In either case, x ∈ B. Therefore A ⊆ B.
??
49. Since (−1)3 − 2(−1)2 − (−1) + 2 = 0, −1 ∈ A. However, −1 ∈
/ B. Therefore A is not a subset of B.

50. Consider 4, which is in A. If 4 ∈ B, then 4 ∈ A and 4 + m = 8 for some m ∈ C. However, the only value
of m for which 4 + m = 8 is m = 4 and 4 ∈ / C. Therefore 4 ∈
/ B. Since 4 ∈ A and 4 ∈
/ B, A is not a
subset of B.

4n students are taking a mathematics course, but not a computer science course, and 7n students are
taking a computer science course, but not a mathematics course. The following Venn diagram depicts
