Prove that (A U B)' = A ∩ B' My proof Let x ∈ (A U B)' So x ∈/ A or B x∈/A→x∈ A' and x∈/B→x∈B' Therefore x∈ A' ∩ B'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A'(INTERSECTION)B'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ITS A IDENTITY A UNION B COMPLEMENT IS EQUAL TO A COMPLEMENT INTERSECTION B COMLEMENT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does that mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[A \cup B =A'intersection B'\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(A \cup B)'=A' (INTERSECTION) B'\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

GOT OR NOT???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SOLVE?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nothing, I was asked to prove the question I asked.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Have I shown it or not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your proof is wrong in second step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x \in(A \cup B)'\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x \notin (A \cup B)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x \notin A ) and ( x \notin B )\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x\[(x \in A') and (x \in B')\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x \in A' (INTERSECTION) B'\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(A \cup B)'\subseteq A'(intersection) B'\]

OpenStudy (phi):

You say Let x ∈ (A U B)' x ∈/ (A U B) <--- add this line. we got rid of the not operator. So x ∈/ A or B <--- I would say x ∈/ A and x ∈/ B (if x is not in the union of A and B, x is not in A and it is not in B x∈/A→x∈ A' and x∈/B→x∈B' Therefore, because x is a member of both A' and B', x must be a member of their intersection x∈ A' ∩ B'
