Solution
To solve the given expression , let’s analyze each component step-by-step.
Step-by-Step Solution
-
Interpret : This represents the elements in but not in .
-
Interpret : This is the complement of the union of and , meaning it contains elements that are in neither nor .
-
Interpret : Substitute from steps 1 and 2: Using the distributive property of union and intersection: where represents the universal set, as .
Conclusion
Thus, the equation holds true as both sides are equal.
