Question

Discrete Math problem 1. (f) see attachment.

Remember to follow the guidelines I laid out for proving claims about subsets in the
lectures and in the notes. In particular, do not use modus tollens, the contrapositive, or de
Morgan's laws to bypass proof by contradiction
When it comes to subsets and set operations, the only facts you can use are the rules of
natural deduction and the following definitions
Here are the definitions about sets that you will need for these proofs:
Definition. x E An B means that x E A and r E B.
Definition. x E AU B means that x E A or x E B.
Definition. x E A\ B means that x E A and x f B.
Definition. x E A means that x £ A.
Definition. ACB means that every member of A is also a member of B
1. For the following claims, first decide if they are true or false. If they are true, then
give an informal proof of the claim. If they are false, then give a counterexample that
disproves the claim
(a) For all sets A and B: AUBCA
(b) For all sets H, I, J, and K: if H C I and J C K, then (Hn J)C (In K)
(c) For all sets A, B, C, D, and E: if AU B C C, then D\CCD\(An E)
(d) For all sets A, B, and C: if A C C, then AUB CBUC
(e) For all sets A, B, and C: if A C C, then AUBCBNC
(f) For all sets X, Y, and Z: if (Xn Y) C Z, then X C Y n Z
