Question
Let $A, B,$ and $C$ be sets. Use the the identity $A-B=$ $A \cap \overline{B},$ which holds for any sets $A$ and $B$ , and the identities from Table 1 to show that $(A-B) \cap(B-C) \cap(A-C)$ $=\emptyset$
Step 1
So, $(A-B) \cap(B-C) \cap(A-C)$ becomes $(A \cap \overline{B}) \cap (B \cap \overline{C}) \cap (A \cap \overline{C})$. Show more…

Let $A, B,$ and $C$ be sets. Use the identities in Table 1 to show that $\overline{(A \cup B)} \cap \overline{(B \cup C)} \cap \overline{(A \cup C)}=\overline{A} \cap \overline{B} \cap \overline{C}$

Let $A$ and $B$ be sets. Show that a) $(A \cap B) \subseteq A$ b) $A \subseteq(A \cup B)$ c) $A-B \subseteq A$ d) $A \cap(B-A)=\emptyset$ e) $A \cup(B-A)=A \cup B$
Show that if $A, B,$ and $C$ are sets, then $\overline{A \cap B \cap C}=\overline{A} \cup$$\overline{B} \cup \overline{C}$ a) by showing each side is a subset of the other side. b) using a membership table.
