Solution

The image contains a set theory problem in the Indonesian language. Here's a translation of the problem and an outline of how we can prove each part.

Given: AA, BB, and CC are sets. Prove the following:

(a) (AC)(CB)=(A - C) \cap (C - B) = \emptyset

Explanation:

  • ACA - C represents the set of elements in AA but not in CC.
  • CBC - B represents the set of elements in CC but not in BB.
  • The intersection of (AC)(A - C) and (CB)(C - B) is empty, meaning there are no elements that belong to both (AC)(A - C) and (CB)(C - B).

(b) (BA)(CA)=(BC)A(B - A) \cup (C - A) = (B \cup C) - A

Explanation:

  • BAB - A is the set of elements in BB but not in AA.
  • CAC - A is the set of elements in CC but not in AA.
  • The union of (BA)(B - A) and (CA)(C - A) should be equal to (BC)A(B \cup C) - A, which is the set of elements in BCB \cup C but not in AA.

(c) (AB)CAC(A - B) - C \subseteq A - C

Explanation:

  • (AB)(A - B) is the set of elements in AA but not in BB.
  • (AB)C(A - B) - C is the set of elements in (AB)(A - B) but not in CC.
  • The goal is to prove that (AB)C(A - B) - C is a subset of ACA - C.

Let's go through each part step by step and prove these statements.

(a) Proof of (AC)(CB)=(A - C) \cap (C - B) = \emptyset:

  • If x(AC)x \in (A - C), then xAx \in A and xCx \notin C.
  • If x(CB)x \in (C - B), then xCx \in C and xBx \notin B.
  • For xx to belong to both sets, xx would need to be in AA and not in CC, but also in CC and not in BB, which is a contradiction because xx cannot be both in and not in CC at the same time.
  • Hence, (AC)(CB)=(A - C) \cap (C - B) = \emptyset.

(b) Proof of (BA)(CA)=(BC)A(B - A) \cup (C - A) = (B \cup C) - A:

  • (BA)(CA)(B - A) \cup (C - A) contains elements that are either in BB but not in AA or in CC but not in AA.
  • (BC)A(B \cup C) - A contains elements that are in BCB \cup C but not in AA, meaning they are either in BB or CC, but not in AA.
  • These two descriptions are equivalent, so (BA)(CA)=(BC)A(B - A) \cup (C - A) = (B \cup C) - A.

(c) Proof of (AB)CAC(A - B) - C \subseteq A - C:

  • If x(AB)Cx \in (A - B) - C, then x(AB)x \in (A - B) and xCx \notin C.
  • This means xAx \in A, xBx \notin B, and xCx \notin C.
  • If xAx \in A and xCx \notin C, then xACx \in A - C.
  • Therefore, every element of (AB)C(A - B) - C is also in ACA - C, meaning (AB)CAC(A - B) - C \subseteq A - C.

Would you like further details on any of these proofs?

Here are five related questions you might explore:

  1. How would the proofs change if the sets AA, BB, or CC were empty?
  2. Can you think of a real-world example that models these set operations?
  3. What happens if we replace ABA - B with BAB - A in part (c)?
  4. How does De Morgan's Law relate to these set identities?
  5. Can Venn diagrams help visualize these set operations for better understanding?

Tip: To gain intuition about set operations, try drawing Venn diagrams for the sets involved. This helps in visualizing how the sets interact.
