Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:
Given:
A, B and C are sets.
We have to prove that:
(A − B) ∩ (C − B) = (A ∩ C) − B.
Use an element x,
Let x Є (A – B), by the definition of difference:
X Є A and x ∉ B.
And
X Є A ∩ C and x ∉ B
X Є (A ∩ C) – B
Now let x Є C – B
By the definition of difference:
X Є C and x ∉ B
By definition of intersection: x Є C and x Є( A ∩ C)
By definition of difference, using that x Є(A ∩ C) And x ∉ B:
X Є ( A ∩ C) – B
We know that: x Є (A – B) ∩ ( C – B)
Is equivalent to x Є A – B and x Є C – B
So, ( x Є A and x ∉ B)
And (x Є C and x ∉ B)
From this we know that x Є (A ∩ C) – B.
