The apostrophe would be used to indicate a possessive noun.

A plural noun does not require an apostrophe.

Examples:

So, I took my two daughters to the dance. (plural, no apostrophe)

My two daughters' joy was written on their faces. (plural possessive; the joy of two daughters)

What is possessive noun?

A possessive noun is a noun indicating ownership or possession.The possessive is shown by adding an 's to the end of a noun or just an ' after plural nouns already ending in -s. Examples:the car of my mother = my mother's carthe teacher of our class = our class's teacherthe coats of the children = the children's coatsthe covers of the books = the books' coversthe meeting of the bosses = the bosses' meetingThe possessive is also used as a shorthand for something that does not literally belong to that person or thing, it's used in place of 'of' or 'for'. Examples:The ladies' room does not belong to ladies, it means that it is designated for the use of ladies.A store that sells men's suits doesn't sell suits that belong to some men, it sells suits for men.A book of Shakespeare's plays are not plays that belong to Mr. Shakespeare, they are plays written by him.


Which one is correct I am proud of my girls or I am proud of my girl's?

Thank you, thank you for asking about this pet peeve. "I am proud of my girls" is correct. You make most ordinary nouns plural by simply adding the letter s. Apostrophe s after a noun is a possessive form. For example, you would say "I am proud of my girl's athletic achievements". You are talking about the achievements that 'belong to' your girl.

Intersection of two convex set is convex?

The proof of this theorem is by contradiction. Suppose for convex sets S and T there are elements a and b such that a and b both belong to S∩T, i.e., a belongs to S and T and b belongs to S and T and there is a point c on the straight line between a and b that does not belong to S∩T. This would mean that c does not belong to one of the sets S or T or both. For whichever set c does not belong to this is a contradiction of that set's convexity, contrary to assumption. Thus no such c and a and b can exist and hence S∩T is convex.

Is there an apostrope in the word daughters?

Yes and no.Yes if the word is possessive, and could be replaced by a phrase with "of". If one daughter is meant, the apostrophe goes before the 's':"What is your daughter's name?" = "What is the name of your daughter?"If more than one daughter is meant, the apostrophe is after the 's':"What are your daughters' names?" = "What are the names of your daughters?"Otherwise, no apostrophe:My daughters are here.He gave gifts to my daughters.
