Operations on Sets

An operation on a set combines two sets to produce a third set.
Union of sets A and B is represented as A ∪ B and includes all elements in either A or B.
Intersection of sets A and B is represented as A ∩ B and includes all elements common to both A and B.
Disjoint Sets are sets with no elements in common, their intersection is an empty set.
Operations like union and intersection can be performed on multiple sets at once.
Complement of a set A, with respect to a universal set U, includes all elements in U that are not in A.
Complement with respect to a set A, considers only elements belonging to A.
Symmetric Difference includes elements belonging to either set A or B, but not both.
Algebraic Properties of set operations include:
- Commutative: A ∪ B = B ∪ A and A ∩ B = B ∩ A
- Associative: A ∪ (B ∪ C) = (A ∪ B) ∪ C and A ∩ (B ∩ C) = (A ∩ B) ∩ C
- Distributive: A ∩ (B ∪ C) = (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C) and A ∪ (B ∩ C) = (A ∪ B) ∩ (A ∪ C)
- Idempotent: A ∪ A = A and A ∩ A = A
- Complement: (A')' = A, A ∪ A' = U, A ∩ A' = ∅, ∅' = U, and U' = ∅
- De Morgan's Laws: (A ∪ B)' = A' ∩ B' and (A ∩ B)' = A' ∪ B'
Properties of Universal Set:
- A ∪ U = U
- A ∩ U = A
Properties of Empty Set:
- A ∪ ∅ = A
- A ∩ ∅ = ∅

The Addition Principle

The Addition Principle relates the cardinality of sets to the cardinality of their union.
For finite sets A and B: |A ∪ B| = |A| + |B| - |A ∩ B|
If sets A and B are disjoint, then |A ∪ B| = |A| + |B|.
