Exercise
1. If A = {5, 10, 12, 15, 19}, B = {3, 10, 15} and C = {7, 10}, write the sets A
B and B C by tabular & selector methods
soluation
Tab.m A B={3,5,10,12,15,19} S.m A B={
x : x =3 , x=5 , x=10 , x=12 , x =15 , x=19 }
[Link] C={10} S.m B C={x : x=10 }
2. Example (2): Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {2, 4, 6, 8} and C = {3, 4, 5, 6}.
Determine (i) A–B, (ii) B – C, (iii) B – B
3. Let A = {a, b, c, d}. Find the power set P(A)
The subsets of A are
{a}, {b}, {c}, {d}, {a, b}, {a, c}, {a, d}, {b, c}, {b, d}, {c, d}, {a, b, c}, {a, b,
d},
{a, c, d}, {b, c, d}, {a, b, c, d}, ∅ .
So, the Power Set P(A) ={{a}, {b}, {c}, {d}, {a, b}, {a, c}, {a, d}, {b, c}, {b,
d}, {c, d}, {a, b, c}, {a, b, d}, {a, c, d}, {b, c, d}, {a, b, c, d}, ∅ }
4. Let A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {1, 2}, C = {2, 3}, and D = {1, 3}. Prove that P(A) =
{A, B, C, D, {1}, {2}, {3}, Ø}.
Given that A = {1, 2, 3} B = {1, 2} C = {2, 3} D = {1, 3} The subsets
of A are {1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1, 2, 3}, Ø
The power set of A, P(A) = {{1}, {2}, {3}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1, 2, 3},
Ø} = {{1, 2, 3}, {1, 2}, {2, 3}, {1, 3}, {1}, {2}, {3}, Ø}
= {A, B, C, D, {1}, {2}, {3}, Ø}
(Proved)
5. If A = {1, 4}, B = {4, 5}, C = {5, 7}, verify that, A (B C) = (A B)
(A C)
