Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution. (a) Prove that A ∩ (B ∪ C) ⊂ (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C). Suppose x ∈

A∩(B ∪C), then x ∈ A and x ∈ B ∪C. The latter means that either x ∈ B,

or x ∈ C. If x ∈ B, then x ∈ A ∩ B, and if x ∈ C, then x ∈ A ∩ C. Thus,

either x ∈ A ∩ B, or x ∈ A ∩ C, i. e. x ∈ (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C).

Prove the converse inclusion. Take x ∈ (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C). So, either

x ∈ A ∩ B, or x ∈ A ∩ C. In both cases x ∈ A. If x ∈ A ∩ B, then x ∈ B,

and if x ∈ A ∩ C, then x ∈ C. So, either x ∈ B, or x ∈ C, i. e. x ∈ B ∪ C.

Thus, we proved x ∈ A and x ∈ B ∪ C, hence x ∈ A ∪ (B ∩ C).

(b) Prove the inclusion A∪(B∩C) ⊂ (A∪B)∩(A∪C). Let x ∈ A∪(B∩C).

Then either x ∈ A, or x ∈ B ∩C. In the first case x ∈ A, which is a subset of

both A∪B and A∪C. So, x ∈ (A∪B)∩(A∪C). In the second case x ∈ B∩C,

which is a subset of B ⊂ A∪B and C ⊂ A∪ C. Thus, x ∈ (A∪B)∩(A∪ C)

in this case.

Now prove the converse inclusion. Choose x ∈ (A ∪ B) ∩ (A ∪ C). So

x ∈ A∪B and x ∈ A∪ C. If x ∈ A, then obviously x ∈ A∪(B ∩ C), because

A ⊂ A∪(B ∩C). Otherwise x ∈ B and x ∈ C, i. e. x ∈ B ∩C ⊂ A∪(B ∩C).
