Use mathematical induction to prove the general inclusion/exclusion rule: If A1, A2,...

Chapter 9, Problem 48

(choose chapter or problem)

Use mathematical induction to prove the general inclusion/ exclusion rule:

If \(A_{1}, A_{2}, . . . , A_{n}\) are finite sets, then

N(\(A_{1} ∪ A_{2} ∪ · · · ∪ A_{n}\))

(The notation \(\sum_{1 \leq i<j \leq n} N\left(A_{i} \cap A_{j}\right.\) ) means that quantities of the form N(Ai ∩ Aj ) are to be added together for all integers i and j with 1 ≤ i < j ≤ n.)
