2008 China Team Selection Test, 3

Let $ S$ be a set that contains $ n$ elements. Let $ A_{1},A_{2},\cdots,A_{k}$ be $ k$ distinct subsets of $ S$, where $ k\geq 2, |A_{i}| \equal{} a_{i}\geq 1 ( 1\leq i\leq k)$. Prove that the number of subsets of $ S$ that don't contain any $ A_{i} (1\leq i\leq k)$ is greater than or equal to $ 2^n\prod_{i \equal{} 1}^k(1 \minus{} \frac {1}{2^{a_{i}}}).$

Two different functions $f, g$ of $x$ are selected from the set of real-valued functions $$\left \{sin x, e^{-x}, x \ln x, \arctan x, \sqrt{x^2 + x} -\sqrt{x^2 + x} -x, \frac{1}{x} \right \}$$ to create a product function $f(x)g(x)$. For how many such products is $\lim_{x\to infty} f(x)g(x)$ finite?

Let there be a finite number of straight lines in the plane, none of which are three in one point to cut. Show that the intersections of these straight lines can be colored with $3$ colors so that that no two points of the same color are adjacent on any of the straight lines. (Two points of intersection are called [i]adjacent [/i] if they both lie on one of the finitely many straight lines and there is no other such intersection on their connecting line.)
