Recall that the symmetric difference of two sets X and Y , denoted X∆Y = (X − Y ) ∪ (Y − X), is the set of all elements that are in X or Y , but not both. Give a rigorous proof that A ∆ (A − B) = B∆(B − A) for all sets A and B. State all of your assumptions clearly. It must be evident how each of your steps comes from a previous step, assumption, or definition. You can use any method to prove.
