Math Problem Statement

Complete the following: Let A and B be sets. When b the set A we write b ∈ A . When b the set A we write b ∉ A . We say the set A the set B and write A

B if each element in the set A the set B and if each element in the set B the set A . If the set A the set B we write A ≠ B .

Solution

Let's complete the given statements in a mathematically sound way:

Let AA and BB be sets.

  • When bb is an element of the set AA, we write bAb \in A.
  • When bb is not an element of the set AA, we write bAb \notin A.
  • We say the set AA is equal to the set BB and write A=BA = B if each element in the set AA is in the set BB, and if each element in the set BB is in the set AA.
  • If the set AA is not equal to the set BB, we write ABA \neq B.

  2. How do you define the union of two sets?
  3. What is the intersection of two sets, and how is it written?
  4. How can we show that two sets are equal using the subset method?
  5. What does the difference between two sets ABA - B represent?

Tip: In set theory, showing equality of two sets often involves proving both ABA \subseteq B and BAB \subseteq A.
