Proofs
There are several ways to construct proofs for sets
Using Cases Logical equivalences
- Set builder notation
Direct Proof Direct Proof Membership tables
- check out the book for an example
When proving equality you can show that the two
sets are subsets of each other
- To prove AB show that A B and B A

Proving Equality – Using Cases
Prove that the following is true for all sets A, B, and C: If A C B C & A C B C, then AB. First we will show A B Then we will show B A We know that A C B C & A C B C Proof that A B: Let x A. We need to show that x B. We will give a proof by cases, depending on whether or not x C.
