Question
se an element argument to prove the following statement. Assume that all sets are subsets of a universal set U.
For all sets A and B, if A ⊆ B then 
Bc ⊆ Ac.
Some of the sentences in the following scrambled list can be used to write a proof.
  • Suppose A and B are sets and A ⊆ B. Let x ∈ B.
  • Hence, x ∉ A, because of the definition of subset and that A ⊆ B.
  • Therefore, by definition of complement x ∈ Ac, and thus, by definition of subset, Bc ⊆ Ac.
  • Suppose A and B are sets and A ⊆ B. Let x ∈ Bc.
  • Hence, x ∉ A, because A ∩ B = ∅.
  • By definition of complement, x ∉ B.
Proof:
We construct a proof by selecting appropriate sentences from the list and putting them in the correct order.
