Tutorial 8

1. Let the universe be the set U= {1, 2, 3,…, 10}. Let A={1,4,7,10},
B={1,2,3,4,5}, and C={2,4,6,8}. List the elements of each set.
(a) B ∩ φ
− −
(b) B ∩ (C − A)

(c) ( A ∩ B ) − C
________
(d) A ∩ B ∪ C

(e) ( A ∪ B ) − (C − B )

2. What is the A ?

(a) A = φ
(b) A = {{a}, {a, b}, {a, c}, a, b}

3. Given set A = {x x − 4 x + 4 = 1}, B = {1,3} , show that A = B .

4. Given set A and set B, show that A ≠ B .


(a) A = {1,2,3}, B = φ
(b) B = {1,2,3,4}, C = {2,4,6,8}, A = B ∩ C

5. Given set A and set B, show that A ⊆ B .


(a) A = {1,2}, B = {3,2,1}
+ +
(b) A = {2n n ∈ Ζ }, B = {n n ∈ Ζ }

6. Given set A and set B, show that A ⊄ B .


(a) A = {1,2,3}, B = {1,2}
(b) A = {1,2,3}, B = φ
7. Draw a Venn diagram and shade the given set.
−
(a) A ∩ B

(b) ( A ∪ B ) − B
________
(c) ((C ∩ A) − ( B − A)) ∩ C

8. Let X={1,2} and Y={a,b,c}. List the elements in each set.


(a) X × Y
(b) Y × Y

9. List all partitions of the set.


(a) {1}
(b) {a,b,c,d}

10. Answer true or false.


(a) {x} ⊆ {x}
(b) {x} ⊆ {x,{x}}

11. List the members of P({a,b}). Which are proper subsets of {a,b}.

12. If X has n members, how many proper subsets does X have?

13. The symmetric difference of two sets A and B is the set


A∆ B = ( A ∪ B ) − ( A ∩ B ) . If A={1,2,3} and B={2,3,4,5}, find A∆ B .

14. Prove that X ∩ Y ⊆ X for all sets X and Y.

15. Prove that if A ⊆ C and B ⊆ C , then A ∪ B ⊆ C .
