Math Problem Statement
Soit X un ensemble et A ⊆ X. Notons Ac = {x ∈ X : x ∉ A} le complémentaire de A dans X. a) Donner ∅c et Xc. b) Montrer que (Ac)c = A pour toute partie A ⊆ X. c) Montrer que X = A ∪ Ac et que A ∩ Ac = ∅ pour tout A ⊆ X. d) Montrer que si A ⊆ B ⊆ X alors Bc ⊆ Ac. e) Montrer que (A ∩ B)c = Ac ∪ Bc et que (A ∪ B)c = Ac ∩ Bc pour toutes parties A, B ⊆ X.
Solution
Let's solve Exercise 4 step by step.
Given:
Let be a set and . We define as the complement of in .
a) Give and .
- : The complement of the empty set in is because everything in is not in . So, .
- : The complement of in is , as there are no elements in that are not in . Therefore, .
b) Show that for every subset ( A \subseteq X \

∅c = X, Xc = ∅
(Ac)c = A
X = A ∪ Ac, A ∩ Ac = ∅
If A ⊆ B, then Bc ⊆ Ac
(A ∩ B)c = Ac ∪ Bc
(A ∪ B)c = Ac ∩ Bc
