   4.The statement is true, so we must prove it. Let x2A, then x2B(since A B) and x2C(since A B). xis in both B and C, thus x2B\C. We picked xto be an arbitrary element of Atherefore A B\C. 5.To prove this we will show A (B[C) (A B) [(A C) and then (A B) [(A C) A (B[C). We begin with A (B[C) (A B)[(A C). Suppose (x;y) 2A (B[C),

   Example 1.1: If P, Q are the statements P: Salt Lake City is in Utah, Q: Las Vegas is in California, then the statement, P ∧Q: Salt Lake City is in Utah and Las Vegas is in California, is false since ‘Las Vegas is in California’ is a false statement.

   mathematical proof is an argument that demonstrates why a mathematical statement is true, following the rules of mathematics. What terms are used in this proof? What do they formally mean? theorem mean? Why, intuitively, should it be true? What is the standard format for writing a proof? What are the techniques for doing so?

   A statement p and its negation ~p will always have opposite truth values; it is impossible to conceive of a situation in which a statement and its negation will have the same truth value. EXAMPLE Let p be the statement "Today is Saturday." Then ~p is the statement "Today is not Saturday."

   A proof is a series of statements, each following logically from the previous, to reach the conclusion – using only the hypotheses, definitions, and known true statements. Example of a Theorem and Proof Theorem 1. Let aand bbe real numbers. Suppose that 0 <a b. Then p a p b. Note that, for a nonnegative real number x, p
