Consider the following statement.
For all sets A and B
(A ∪ Bc) − B = (A − B) ∪ Bc.
An algebraic proof for the statement should cite a property from Theorem 6.2.2 for every step, but some reasons are missing from the proposed proof below. Indicate which reasons are missing. (Select all that apply.)
Consider the following statement.
For all sets A and B, (A U B) - B = (A – B) U Bº.
An algebraic proof for the statement should cite a property from Theorem 6.2.2 for every step, but some reasons are missing from the proposed proof below. Indicate which reasons are missing. (Select all that apply.)
Let any sets A and B be given. Then
(A U BC) – B = (A U B) N BC
(Bº N A) U (Bº N Bº)
= (BC N A) U Bc
= (A – B) U Bc
