Proof Ex 4.33.3 Compliment
Given ∀i∈IAi ⊆ X, show that (∪i∈IAi)c = ∩i∈IAic
Proof:
⊆: Suppose x ∈ (∪i∈IAi)c
We will show that x ∈ ∩i∈IAic
From x ∈ (∪i∈IAi)c, we get ¬∃i∈I(x ∈ Ai)
It follows that ∀i∈I(x ∉ Ai), i.e., ∀i∈I(x ∈ Aic)
Thus x ∈ ∩i∈IAic
⊇: Suppose x ∈ ∩i∈IAic
We will show that x ∈ (∪i∈IAi)c
From x ∈ ∩i∈IAic, we get ∀i∈I(x ∈ Aic), i.e., ∀i∈I(x ∉ Ai)
It follows that ¬∃i∈I(x ∈ Ai)
Thus x ∈ (∪i∈IAi)c
