If U = {2, 3, 5, 7, 9} is the universal set and A = {3, 7}, B = {2, 5, 7, 9}, then prove that:(i) (A ∪ B)’ = A’ ∩ B’(ii) (A ∩ B)’ = A’ ∪ B’ |
Answer» (i) (A ∪ B)’ = A’ ∩ B’ Now, firstly let us consider the LHS A ∪ B = {x: x ∈ A or x ∈ B} = {2, 3, 5, 7, 9} (A∪B)’ means Complement of (A∪B) with respect to universal set U. Therefore, (A∪B)’ = U – (A∪B)’ U – (A∪B)’ is defined as {x ∈ U: x ∉ (A∪B)’} U = {2, 3, 5, 7, 9} (A∪B)’ = {2, 3, 5, 7, 9} U – (A∪B)’ = ϕ Then, RHS A’ means Complement of A with respect to universal set U. Therefore, A’ = U – A (U – A) is defined as {x ∈ U: x ∉ A} U = {2, 3, 5, 7, 9} A = {3, 7} A’ = U – A = {2, 5, 9} B’ means Complement of B with respect to universal set U. Therefore, B’ = U – B (U – B) is defined as {x ∈ U: x ∉ B} U = {2, 3, 5, 7, 9} B = {2, 5, 7, 9} B’ = U – B = {3} A’ ∩ B’ = {x: x ∈ A’ and x ∈ C’}. = ϕ ∴ LHS = RHS Thus verified. (ii) (A ∩ B)’ = A’ ∪ B’ Now, firstly let us consider the LHS (A ∩ B)’ (A ∩ B) = {x: x ∈ A and x ∈ B}. = {7} (A∩B)’ means Complement of (A ∩ B) with respect to universal set U. Therefore, (A∩B)’ = U – (A ∩ B) U – (A ∩ B) is defined as {x ∈ U: x ∉ (A ∩ B)’} U = {2, 3, 5, 7, 9} (A ∩ B) = {7} U – (A ∩ B) = {2, 3, 5, 9} (A ∩ B)’ = {2, 3, 5, 9} Then, RHS A’ means Complement of A with respect to universal set U. Therefore, A’ = U – A (U – A) is defined as {x ∈ U: x ∉ A} U = {2, 3, 5, 7, 9} A = {3, 7} A’ = U – A = {2, 5, 9} B’ means Complement of B with respect to universal set U. Therefore, B’ = U – B (U – B) is defined as {x ∈ U: x ∉ B} U = {2, 3, 5, 7, 9} B = {2, 5, 7, 9} B’ = U – B = {3} A’ ∪ B’ = {x: x ∈ A or x ∈ B} = {2, 3, 5, 9} ∴ LHS = RHS Thus verified. |
