Math Problem Statement

The user provided an image showing a mathematical statement applying De Morgan's Law to sets, focusing on the complement of intersections and unions.

Solution

The image contains a mathematical statement invoking De Morgan's Law for sets. It states the following:

Given a collection of sets FaF_a indexed by aIa \in I, the complement of the intersection of these sets is equal to the union of the complements of the individual sets:

Fc=(aIFa)c=aIFacF^c = \left( \bigcap_{a \in I} F_a \right)^c = \bigcup_{a \in I} F_a^c

This is a direct application of De Morgan's Laws for sets:

  1. The complement of an intersection of sets is the union of the complements: (aIFa)c=aIFac\left( \bigcap_{a \in I} F_a \right)^c = \bigcup_{a \in I} F_a^c

  2. Similarly, the complement of a union of sets is the intersection of the complements: (aIFa)c=aIFac\left( \bigcup_{a \in I} F_a \right)^c = \bigcap_{a \in I} F_a^c

These laws are fundamental in set theory and are widely used in proofs and logical manipulations.

Do you have any further questions or would you like a deeper explanation?

  5. Can you provide an example that illustrates De Morgan’s Laws with real sets?

Tip: De Morgan's Laws are extremely useful when dealing with complex logical statements or sets, as they allow you to simplify expressions involving intersections and unions.
