Unformatted text preview: set B . An element x is in set A only if it is in set B . M. Chen ([email protected]) ENGG2430 lecture 1 12 / 16 De Morgan’s laws Two particularly useful properties are given by De Morgan’s laws which state that c (∪n Sn )c = n Sn , c = ∪ Sc ( n Sn ) nn Proof of (∪n Sn )c = c n Sn (one way) Suppose that x ∈ (∪n Sn )c .Then, x ∈ ∪n Sn , which implies that for / every n, we have x ∈ Sn . / c Thus, x belongs to the complement of every Sn , and x ∈ n Sn .

Chen ([email protected]) ENGG2430 lecture 1 14 / 16 Exercise Let A = {set of all persons taller than 1.6 meters}, B = {set of all persons heavier than 60kg}, C = {set of all persons who wear glasses}. What is the set of all persons who are shorter than 1.6 meters or wear glasses? What is the set of all persons who are taller than 1.6 meters and are heavier than 60kg, but do not wear glasses? Express these statements in terms of A, B , and C : There is no one who wears glasses and is shorter than 1.6 meters. If a person is lighter than 60kg, then he/she must either wear glasses or is taller than 1.6 meters. Can you relate: A ∪ B and A ∩ B ? A ∪ B and Ac ∩ B c ? If A ⊂ B , what can you say about the relationship between Ac and Bc ? M. Chen ([email protected]) ENGG2430 lecture 1 15 / 16 Thank You Reading: Ch. 1.1 and 1.2 of the textbook M.
