We can form a new set from existing sets by carrying out a set operation.

Definition: \(A \cap B\)

Given two sets \(A\) and \(B\), define their intersection to be the set

\[A \cap B = \{ x\in{\cal U} \mid x \in A \wedge x \in B \}\]

Loosely speaking, \(A \cap B\) contains elements common to both \(A\) and \(B\).

Definition: \(A \cup B\)

The union of \(A\) and \(B\) is defined as

\[A \cup B = \{ x\in{\cal U} \mid x \in A \vee x \in B \}\]

Thus \(A \cup B\) is, as the name suggests, the set combining all the elements from \(A\) and \(B\).

        UNION

Definition: \(A-B\)

The set difference \(A-B\), sometimes written as \(A \setminus B\), is defined as

\[A- B = \{ x\in{\cal U} \mid x \in A \wedge x \not\in B \}\]

In words, \(A-B\) contains elements that can only be found in \(A\) but not in \(B\). Operationally speaking, \(A-B\) is the set obtained from \(A\) by removing the elements that also belong to \(B\). 

Definition: \(\overline{A}\)

The complement of \(A\), denoted by \(\overline{A}\), \(A'\) or \(A^c\), is defined as 

\[\overline{A} = \{ x\in{\cal U} \mid x \notin A \}\]

Definition: \(A \bigtriangleup B\)

The symmetric difference   \(A \bigtriangleup B\), is defined as

\[A \bigtriangleup B = (A - B) \cup (B - A)\] 

Definition: Disjoint

Two sets are disjoint if their intersection is empty.

For example, consider \(S=\{1,3,5\}\) and \(T=\{2,8,10,14\}\).

\(S \cap T = \emptyset\) so \(S\) and \(T\) are disjoint.

We would like to remind the readers that it is not uncommon among authors to adopt different notations for the same mathematical concept. Likewise, the same notation could mean something different in another textbook or even another branch of mathematics. It is important to develop the habit of examining the context and making sure that you understand the meaning of the notations when you start reading a mathematical exposition.

Example \(\PageIndex{1}\label{eg:unionint-01}\)

Let \({\cal U}=\{1,2,3,4,5\}\), \(A=\{1,2,3\}\), and \(B=\{3,4\}\). Find \(A\cap B\), \(A\cup B\), \(A-B\), \(B-A\), \(A\bigtriangleup B\), \(\overline{A}\), and \(\overline{B}\).

We have \[\begin{aligned} A\cap B &=& \{3\}, \\ A\cup B &=& \{1,2,3,4\}, \\ A - B &=& \{1,2\}, \\ B \bigtriangleup A &=& \{1,2,4\}. \end{aligned}\] We also find \(\overline{A} = \{4,5\}\), and \(\overline{B} = \{1,2,5\}\).

hands-on exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\label{he:unionint-01}\)

Let \({\cal U} = \{\mbox{John}, \mbox{Mary}, \mbox{Dave}, \mbox{Lucy}, \mbox{Peter}, \mbox{Larry}\}\), \[A = \{\mbox{John}, \mbox{Mary}, \mbox{Dave}\}, \qquad\mbox{and}\qquad B = \{\mbox{John}, \mbox{Larry}, \mbox{Lucy}\}.\] Find \(A\cap B\), \(A\cup B\), \(A-B\), \(B-A\), \(\overline{A}\), and \(\overline{B}\).

hands-on exercise \(\PageIndex{2}\label{he:unionint-02}\)

If \(A\subseteq B\), what would be \(A-B\)?

Example \(\PageIndex{2}\label{eg:unionint-02}\)

The set of integers can be written as the \[\mathbb{Z} = \{-1,-2,-3,\ldots\} \cup \{0\} \cup \{1,2,3,\ldots\}.\] Can we replace \(\{0\}\) with 0? Explain.

hands-on exercise \(\PageIndex{3}\label{he:unionint-03}\)

Explain why the following expressions are syntactically incorrect.

• \(\mathbb{Z} = \{-1,-2,-3,\ldots\} \cup \;0\; \cup \{1,2,3,\ldots\}\).
• \(\mathbb{Z} = \ldots,-3,-2,-1 \;\cup\; 0 \;\cup\; 1,2,3,\ldots\,\)
• \(\mathbb{Z} = \ldots,-3,-2,-1 \;+\; 0 \;+\; 1,2,3,\ldots\,\)
• \(\mathbb{Z} = \mathbb{Z} ^- \;\cup\; 0 \;\cup\; \mathbb{Z} ^+\)

How would you fix the errors in these expressions?

Example \(\PageIndex{3}\label{eg:unionint-03}\)

For any set \(A\), what are \(A\cap\emptyset\), \(A\cup\emptyset\), \(A-\emptyset\), \(\emptyset-A\) and \(\overline{\overline{A}}\)?

It is clear that \[A\cap\emptyset = \emptyset, \qquad A\cup\emptyset = A, \qquad\mbox{and}\qquad A-\emptyset = A.\] From the definition of set difference, we find \(\emptyset-A = \emptyset\). Finally, \(\overline{\overline{A}} = A\).

Example \(\PageIndex{4}\label{eg:unionint-04}\)

Write, in interval notation, \([5,8)\cup(6,9]\) and \([5,8)\cap(6,9]\).

The answers are \[[5,8)\cup(6,9] = [5,9], \qquad\mbox{and}\qquad [5,8)\cap(6,9] = (6,8).\] They are obtained by comparing the location of the two intervals on the real number line.

hands-on exercise \(\PageIndex{4}\label{he:unionint-04}\)

Write, in interval notation, \((0,3)\cup[-1,2)\) and \((0,3)\cap[-1,2)\).

Example \(\PageIndex{5}\label{eg:unionint-05}\)

We are now able to describe the following set \[\{x\in\mathbb{R} \mid (x<5) \vee (x>7)\}\] in the interval notation. It can be written as either \((-\infty,5)\cup(7,\infty)\) or, using complement, \(\mathbb{R}-[5,7\,]\). Consequently, saying \(x\notin[5,7\,]\) is the same as saying \(x\in(-\infty,5) \cup(7,\infty)\), or equivalently, \(x\in \mathbb{R}-[5,7\,]\).

To Prove a Set is Empty

To  prove a set is empty , use a proof by contradiction with these steps:

(1) Assume not.  That, is assume \(\ldots\) is not empty.

(2) This means there is an element is \(\ldots\) by definition of the empty set. 

(3) Let \(x \in \ldots \).

(4) Come to a contradition and wrap up the proof.

Example \(\PageIndex{6}\)

Prove: \(\forall A \in {\cal U}, A \cap \emptyset = \emptyset.\)

Proof:  Assume not. That is, assume for some set \(A,\)  \(A \cap \emptyset \neq \emptyset.\) By definition of the empty set, this means there is an element in \(A \cap \emptyset .\)

Let \(x \in A \cap \emptyset .\)

\(x \in A \wedge x\in \emptyset\) by definition of intersection.

This says \(x \in \emptyset \), but the empty set has no elements!  This is a contradiction!

Thus, our assumption is false, and the original statement is true. \(\forall A \in {\cal U}, A \cap \emptyset = \emptyset.\)

Set Properties

(a) These properties should make sense to you and you should be able to prove them.  However, you are not to use them as reasons in a proof.  Rather your justifications for steps in a proof need to come directly from definitions. The exception to this is DeMorgan's Laws which you may reference as a reason in a proof.

(b) You do not need to memorize these properties or their names.  However, you should know the meanings of: commutative, associative and distributive.  Also, you should know DeMorgan's Laws by name and substance.

The following properties hold for any sets \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) in a universal set \({\cal U}\).

• Commutative properties : \(\begin{array}[t]{l} A \cup B = B \cup A, \\ A \cap B = B \cap A. \end{array}\)
• Associative properties : \(\begin{array}[t]{l} (A \cup B) \cup C = A \cup (B \cup C), \\ (A \cap B) \cap C = A \cap (B \cap C). \end{array}\)
• Distributive laws : \(\begin{array}[t]{l} A \cup (B \cap C) = (A \cup B) \cap (A \cup C), \\ A \cap (B \cup C) = (A \cap B) \cup (A \cap C). \end{array}\)
• Idempotent laws : \(\begin{array}[t]{l} A \cup A = A, \\ A \cap A = A. \end{array}\)
• De Morgan’s laws : \(\begin{array}[t]{l} \mbox{  (a)  } \overline{A \cup B} = \overline{A} \cap \overline{B}, \\ \mbox{  (b)  }  \overline{A \cap B} = \overline{A} \cup \overline{B}. \end{array}\)
• Laws of the excluded middle , or inverse laws : \(\begin{array}[t]{l} A \cup \overline{A} = {\cal U}, \\ A \cap \overline{A} = \emptyset. \end{array}\)

As an illustration, we shall prove the distributive law \[A \cup (B \cap C) = (A \cup B) \cap (A \cup C).\]  

We need to show that \[A \cup (B \cap C) \subseteq (A \cup B) \cap (A \cup C), \qquad\mbox{and}\qquad (A \cup B) \cap (A \cup C) \subseteq A \cup (B \cap C).\]

Here is a proof of the distributive law \(A \cup (B \cap C) = (A \cup B) \cap (A \cup C)\).

hands-on exercise \(\PageIndex{5}\label{he:unionint-05}\)

Prove that \(A\cap(B\cup C) = (A\cap B)\cup(A\cap C)\).

hands-on exercise \(\PageIndex{6}\label{he:unionint-06}\)

Prove that if \(A\subseteq B\) and \(A\subseteq C\), then \(A\subseteq B\cap C\).

Let us start with a draft. The statement we want to prove takes the form of \[(A\subseteq B) \wedge (A\subseteq C) \Rightarrow A\subseteq B\cap C.\] Hence, what do we assume and what do we want to prove?

Did you put down we assume \(A\subseteq B\) and \(A\subseteq C\), and we want to prove \(A\subseteq B\cap C\)? Great! Now, what does it mean by \(A\subseteq B\)? How about \(A\subseteq C\)? What is the meaning of \(A\subseteq B\cap C\)?

How can you use the first two pieces of information to obtain what we need to establish?

Now it is time to put everything together, and polish it into a final version. Remember three things:

• the outline of the proof,
• the reason in each step of the main argument, and
• the introduction and the conclusion.

Put the complete proof in the space below.

Here are two results involving complements.

Theorem \(\PageIndex{1}\label{thm:subsetsbar}\)

For any two sets \(A\) and \(B\), we have \(A \subseteq B \Leftrightarrow \overline{B} \subseteq \overline{A}\).

Theorem \(\PageIndex{2}\label{thm:genDeMor}\)

For any sets \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\),  

(a) \(A-(B \cup C)=(A-B) \cap (A-C)\)

(b) \(A-(B \cap C)=(A-B) \cup (A-C)\)

Summary and Review

• Memorize the definitions of intersection, union, and set difference. We rely on them to prove or derive new results.
• The intersection of two sets \(A\) and \(B\), denoted \(A\cap B\), is the set of elements common to both \(A\) and \(B\). In symbols, \(\forall x\in{\cal U}\,\big[x\in A\cap B \Leftrightarrow (x\in A \wedge x\in B)\big]\).
• The union of two sets \(A\) and \(B\), denoted \(A\cup B\), is the set that combines all the elements in \(A\) and \(B\). In symbols, \(\forall x\in{\cal U}\,\big[x\in A\cup B \Leftrightarrow (x\in A\vee x\in B)\big]\).
• The set difference between two sets \(A\) and \(B\), denoted by \(A-B\), is the set of elements that can only be found in \(A\) but not in \(B\). In symbols, it means \(\forall x\in{\cal U}\, \big[x\in A-B \Leftrightarrow (x\in A \wedge x\notin B)\big]\).
• The symmetric difference between two sets \(A\) and \(B\), denoted by \(A \bigtriangleup B\), is the set of elements that can be found in \(A\) and in \(B\), but not in both \(A\) and \(B\).  In symbols, it means \(\forall x\in{\cal U}\, \big[x\in A \bigtriangleup B \Leftrightarrow x\in A-B  \vee x\in B-A)\big]\).

(f) \(A - B = B - A \Leftrightarrow \)           ___________________

Exercise \(\PageIndex{7}\label{ex:unionint-07}\)

(a) Prove De Morgan’s law, (a) .

(b) Prove De Morgan’s law, (b) .

Exercise \(\PageIndex{9}\label{ex:unionint-09}\)

Let \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) be any three sets. Prove that if \(A\subseteq C\) and \(B\subseteq C\), then \(A\cup B\subseteq C\).

Assume \(A\subseteq C\) and \(B\subseteq C\), we want to show that \(A\cup B \subseteq C\).

Let \(x\in A\cup B\). we want to show that \(x\in C\) as well.

Since \(x\in A\cup B\), then either \(x\in A\) or \(x\in B\) by definition of union.

Case 1: If \(x\in A\), then \(A\subseteq C\) implies that \(x\in C\) by definition of subset.

Case 2: If \(x\in B\), then \(B\subseteq C\) implies that \(x\in C\) by definition of subset.

In both cases, we find \(x\in C\). So, if \(x\in A\cup B\) then \(x\in C\).

This proves that \(A\cup B\subseteq C\) by definition of subset.

\(\therefore\) For any sets \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) if \(A\subseteq C\) and \(B\subseteq C\), then \(A\cup B\subseteq C\).

Exercise \(\PageIndex{10}\label{ex:unionint-10}\)

Prove Theorem 4.3.1

Exercise \(\PageIndex{11}\label{ex:unionint-11}\)

(a) Prove Theorem 4.3.2 part (a)

(b) Prove Theorem 4.3.2 part (b)

Exercise \(\PageIndex{12}\label{ex:unionint-12}\)

Let \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) be any three sets. Prove that

(a) \(A-B=A\cap\overline{B}\)

(b) \(A=(A-B)\cup(A\cap B)\)

(c) \(A-(B-C) = A\cap(\overline{B}\cup C)\)

(d) \((A-B)-C = A-(B\cup C)\)

Exercise \(\PageIndex{13}\label{ex:unionint-13}\)

Comment on the following statements. Are they syntactically correct?

(a) \(x\in A \cap x\in B \equiv x\in A\cap B\)

(b) \(x\in A\wedge B \Rightarrow x\in A\cap B\)

(a) The notation \(\cap\) is used to connect two sets, but “\(x\in A\)” and “\(x\in B\)” are both logical statements. We should also use \(\Leftrightarrow\) instead of \(\equiv\). The statement should have been written as “\(x\in A \,\wedge\, x\in B \Leftrightarrow x\in A\cap B\).”

(b) If we read it aloud, it sounds perfect: \[\mbox{If $x$ belongs to $A$ and $B$, then $x$ belongs to $A\cap B$}.\] The trouble is, every notation has its own meaning and specific usage. In this case, \(\wedge\) is not exactly a replacement for the English word “and.” Instead, it is the notation for joining two logical statements to form a conjunction. Before \(\wedge\), we have “\(x\in A\),” which is a logical statement. But, after \(\wedge\), we have “\(B\),” which is a set, and not a logical statement. It should be written as “\(x\in A\,\wedge\,x\in B \Rightarrow x\in A\cap B\).”

Exercise \(\PageIndex{14}\label{ex:unionint-14}\)

Prove or disprove each of the following statements about arbitrary sets \(A\) and \(B\). If you think a statement is true, prove it; if you think it is false, provide a counterexample.

(a) \(\mathscr{P}(A\cap B) = \mathscr{P}(A)\cap\mathscr{P}(B)\)

(b) \(\mathscr{P}(A\cup B) = \mathscr{P}(A)\cup\mathscr{P}(B)\)

(c) \(\mathscr{P}(A - B) = \mathscr{P}(A) - \mathscr{P}(B)\)

To show that two sets \(U\) and \(V\) are equal, we usually want to prove that \(U \subseteq V\) and \(V \subseteq U\).  For the subset relationship, we start with let \(x\in U \). In this problem, the element \(x\) is actually a set. Since we usually use uppercase letters to denote sets, for (a) we should start the proof of the subset relationship  “Let \(S\in\mathscr{P}(A\cap B)\),”  using an uppercase letter to emphasize the elements of \(\mathscr{P}(A\cap B)\) are sets. These remarks also apply to (b) and (c).

Exercise \(\PageIndex{15}\)

Let \({\cal U}=\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8\}\), \(A=\{2,4,6,8\}\), \(B=\{3,5\}\), \(C=\{1,2,3,4\}\) and\(D=\{6,8\}\). Find

(a) \(A\cap C\)                   (b) \(A\cap B\)                    (c) \(\emptyset \cup B\)   

(d) \(\emptyset \cap B\)                  (e) \(A-(B \cup C)\)              (f) \(C-B\)                   

(g) \(A\bigtriangleup C\)                (h) \(A \cup {\cal U}\)                  (i)  \(A\cap D\)                       

(j) \(A\cup D\)                  (k) \(B\cap D\)                      (l) \(B\bigtriangleup C\)   

(m)  \(A \cap {\cal U}\)                 (n) \(\overline{A}\)                      (o) \(\overline{B}\).                 

(p) \(D \cup (B \cap C)\)        (q) \(\overline{A \cup C}\)            (r) \(\overline{A} \cup \overline{C} \)

(s) Which pairs of sets are disjoint?

(a) \(\{2,4\}\)            (b) \(\emptyset \)       (c) \(B\)               (d)  \(\emptyset\)    

Exercise \(\PageIndex{16}\)
