Finite Math Reference Sheet

This reference sheet contains essential formulas for working with sets and counting. The most important formula to remember is:

n(A∪B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A∩B)

This formula helps you calculate the total number of elements in the union of two sets by adding their individual sizes and then subtracting their overlap.

The page also appears to reference dice and card probabilities, though the full details aren't clearly visible in the transcript.

💡 When solving set problems, always start by identifying what's in each set, then apply the appropriate formula to find what you need.

Sets and Set Notation

Sets are collections of objects where membership is clearly defined. Every mathematical object is either in the set or not - there's no middle ground!

The basic components of set theory include:

Elements are the objects in a set (written using ∈ symbol)
Empty set (Ø) has no elements
Universal set (U) contains all elements being considered
Finite sets have a countable number of elements, while infinite sets don't

Set relationships are written using special notation:

A ⊂ B means A is a subset of B (all elements of A are in B)
A = B means sets have identical elements
Union (A ∪ B) contains elements in either A or B (or both)
Intersection (A ∩ B) contains only elements in both A and B
Complement (A') contains everything in the universal set that's not in A

💡 Think of set operations visually: union combines sets, intersection shows overlap, and complement shows everything else.

Set Operations and Venn Diagrams

This page shows how to apply set operations to solve problems. You'll often need to find:

The number of elements in different combinations of sets
All possible subsets of a given set
Solutions using Venn diagrams

When working with two sets, remember the formula: n(A∪B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A∩B)

Venn diagrams are powerful visual tools that help us understand set relationships. The circles represent sets, and the overlapping regions show elements that belong to multiple sets. The numbers in each region tell you how many elements are in that specific subset.

For example, in a presidential election poll with sets T (Trump voters) and W (Women), you can use a Venn diagram to clearly show how many women voted for Trump, how many men voted for Trump, and so on.

💡 When solving complex set problems, start by identifying what each region of the Venn diagram represents before filling in the numbers.

Applications of Set Theory

Set theory has real-world applications, like analyzing insurance customer data. The page shows a Venn diagram with three sets:

A: customers with auto insurance
H: customers with homeowner's insurance
L: customers with life insurance

The numbers in each region represent how many customers fall into those specific categories. For instance, 16 customers have only auto insurance, while 8 have both auto and homeowner's insurance.

To solve problems with these diagrams:

Identify what each region represents
Add up the relevant regions to find your answer
Use set operations (union, intersection, complement) as needed

For example, to find the total number of customers with homeowner's insurance, you'd add all regions inside the H circle.

💡 Three-set Venn diagrams have seven regions plus the outside area. Make sure you account for all regions when solving problems.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Brad T

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

David K

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

THE QUIZES AND FLASHCARDS ARE SO USEFUL AND I LOVE THE SCHOOLGPT. IT ALSO IS LITREALLY LIKE CHATGPT BUT SMARTER!! HELPED ME WITH MY MASCARA PROBLEMS TOO!! AS WELL AS MY REAL SUBJECTS ! DUHHH 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮

Elisha

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
