Set – Theory
☼ Complement of a Set : Let A be a subset of the universal set U, then the complement of A, denoted by Aٰ or A is defined by :
Aٰ = A = { x : x U, x A }.
Clearly, x A x A.
e.g.
☼ Universal Set : In the discussion about sets, all sets are assumed to be the subsets of a definite set. This definite set is called the universal set. Universal set contains the sets under discussion as subsets. The symbol U i…
☼ Intersection of Sets : The intersection of two sets A and B, denoted by A B is the set of all those elements which are common to both A and B.
Thus, A
☼ Union of Sets : The union of two sets A and B, denoted by A B is the set of all those elements which are either in A or in B or in both A…
☼ Super Set : If A B, we say that B is a super set of A and we write, B A.
There are infinite supersets of any finite set but there are finite subsets of any finite set….
