Solved A Prove That For Every Two Sets A And B The Sets A B B A Theorem for any sets a and b, a b = a bc. proof: we must show a − b ⊆ a ∩ bc − ∩ and a ∩ bc ⊆ a − b. first, we show that a − b ⊆ a ∩ bc. let x ∈ a − b. by definition of set difference, x ∈ a and x 6∈b. by definition of complement, x 6∈b that x ∈ bc. hence, it is true that both, x ∈ a and x ∈ bc. by definition of intersection, x ∈ a ∩ bc. Show that for a and b, subsets of some universal set u : a ⊆ b if and only if. ̄ b ⊆ ̄ a. note : ”if and only if” is the same as the logical connectives ”↔” and ”≡” proof 1 (using logical connectives) : a ⊆ b ≡ ∀x((x ∈ a) → (x ∈ b)) ≡ ∀x(¬(x ∈ a) ∨ (x ∈ b)) ≡ ∀x((x ∈ a) ∨ (x ∈ b)) ≡ ∀x.

Solved Prove For Any Sets A B C If A B Then A C B Chegg Working with two sets, a and b, and if u ∈ u, there are four possible outcomes of “where u can be.” what are they? the set membership table for a ∪ b is: this table illustrates that u ∈ a ∪ b if and only if u ∈ a or u ∈ b. If a, b, and c are sets, then a (b [c) = (a b) \(a c). proof. (continued) this result shows that a (b [c) (a b) \(a c). to show (a b) \(a c) a (b [c) we start with x 2(a b) \(a c). mat231 (transition to higher math) proofs involving sets fall 2014 6 11. Theorem: if a ⊆ b ∪ c, b ⊆ d, and c ⊆ e, then a ⊆ d ∪ e. proof: consider any sets a, b, c, d, and e where a ⊆ b ∪ c, b ⊆ d, and c ⊆ e. we will prove that a ⊆ d ∪ e. to do so, pick an arbitrary x ∈ a. we will prove that x ∈ d ∪ e. since we know x ∈ a and a ⊆ b ∪ c, we see that x ∈ b ∪ c.

There are several ways to denote the elements in a set. some sets have speci c notations because they arise so frequently. we have seen z, r, q, 2z and so on. de nition 1.2.1. we say that x is an element of in a set a, written x 2 a, if it belongs in the set. we write x 62a if not. example 1.1. for example 3 2 z and 3:4 62z.

To prove that a ⊆ b (a is a subset of b), rewrite the statement as: prove this statement by assuming x ∈ a and then “chase” the element to show x ∈ b is also true. example: prove that a ∩ b ∩ c ⊆ c for any sets a, b, and c. proof: rewrite the statement as: “if x ∈ a ∩ b ∩ c, then x ∈ c.” let x ∈ a ∩ b ∩ c. then x ∈ a and x ∈ b and x ∈ c. The intersection of a and b, denoted by a b, is the set that contains those elements that are in both a and b. • alternate: a b = { x | x a x b }. example: • a = {1,2,3,6} b = { 2, 4, 6, 9} • a b = { 2, 6 } u a b. More examples of set proofs disproofs 1. if a b, then (a c) (a b). proof #1 essentially, we are being asked to prove that (a c) (a b). let x be an arbitrarily chosen element of a c. we must show that x a b. using our given information, we have that x a c. from this we can deduce that x a and x c. If we want to show that a set a is a subset of a set b, a standard proof outline involves picking a random element x from a and then showing that x must be in b.
