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.

Use an element argument to construct a proof for the statement by putting selected sentences from the following scrambled list in the correct order.
