explain.

Question 2

Let U = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}, A = {2, 4, 6} and B = {4, 8, 10}. Find U − (A ∩ B ) and
(U − A) ∪ (U − B ) and compare them. What do you observe?

Question 3

What can you say about the sets A and B if we know that:

(a) A ∪ B = A (b) A − B = B − A (c) A ∩ B = A

Question 4

positive integers. Find A .
