Solutions
-
(i) :
- represents the union of sets and , which includes all elements in either or .
- The complement, , includes all elements in but not in .
-
(ii) :
- is the complement of , meaning all elements in but not in .
- is the complement of , meaning all elements in but not in .
- The intersection, , includes all elements that are in both and .
-
(iii) What do you notice?
- Notice that . This is a standard property in set theory, known as De Morgan's Law.
-
(iv) Prove that :
- By De Morgan's Law, the complement of the intersection of two sets is equal to the union of their complements:
- Let's verify:
- and
- This shows that .
-
(v) Find :
- The symmetric difference includes elements in but not in .
- Therefore:

Formulas
A ∪ B = {x | x ∈ A or x ∈ B}
A ∩ B = {x | x ∈ A and x ∈ B}
(A ∪ B)' = U - (A ∪ B)
(A ∩ B)' = U - (A ∩ B)
A Δ B = (A ∪ B) - (A ∩ B)
Theorems
De Morgan's Law: (A ∪ B)' = A' ∩ B' and (A ∩ B)' = A' ∪ B'
