Question
- Let A and B be sets. Show thata) (A ∩ B) ⊆ A b) A ⊆ (A ∪ B) c) A − B ⊆ Ad) A ∩ (B − A) = ∅ e) A ∪ (B − A) = A ∪ B f) A ⊕ B = (A ∪ B) − (A ∩ B).
Solution
a) (A ∩ B) ⊆ A: The intersection of sets A and B, denoted as A ∩ B, is the set of all elements that are common to both A and B. Therefore, by definition, all elements of A ∩ B are also elements of A. Hence, (A ∩ B) is a subset of A.
b) A ⊆ (A ∪ B):
