Prove the statements (a) and (b) using a set element proof and using only the definitions of the set operations (set equality, subset, intersection, union, complement):

(a) Suppose that A ⊆ B. Then for every set C, C\B ⊆ C\A.
(b) For all sets A and B, it holds that A′ ∩(A∪B) = A′ ∩B.
(c) Now prove the statement from part (b)

Prove Corollary 4.22: A set of real numbers E is closed and bounded if and only if every infinite subset of E has a point of accumulation that belongs to E. Use Theorem 4.21: [Bolzano-Weierstrass Property] A set of real numbers is closed and bounded if and only if every sequence of points chosen from the set has a subsequence that converges to a point that belongs to E. Must use Theorem 4.21 to prove Corollary 4.22 and there should...

(10) Consider the following property: For all sets A, B and C, (A-B)∩(A-C)=A-(B∪C) a. Construct a proof of this property using set definitions. b. Prove this property using a set-membership table, clearly stating how the table proves the property. c. Illustrate this property using Venn diagrams, clearly stating how the diagram proves the property. You must use a separate Venn diagram for the set on the left hand side of the equal sign, and for the set on the right...

For Problems #5 – #9, you willl either be asked to prove a statement or disprove a statement, or decide if a statement is true or false, then prove or disprove the statement. Prove statements using only the definitions. DO NOT use any set identities or any prior results whatsoever. Disprove false statements by giving counterexample and explaining precisely why your counterexample disproves the claim. ********************************************************************************************************* (5) (12pts) Consider the < relation defined on R as usual, where x <...
