Fill in the boxes in the following proof by contradiction that:

For all sets A and B, if B ⊆ A' then A ∩ B = Ø

Proof:

Let and B be any sets with  B ⊆ A' and suppose that A ∩ B ≠ Ø

That is, suppose there is an element x in __________

By definition of intersection, x ∈ ________ and x ∈   ________

By definition of subset, if  x ∈ then x ∈  __________ and by definition of complement if x∈ A' then x _________

 In particularx ∈ and x ∉___________ which is a contradiction.

Hence the original supposition is false , and so if B ⊆ A' then A ∩ B = Ø as claimed.
