Question

According to the textbook:

1) If a is in D, then f(a) in f(D)

2) If a is in f^-1(E), then f(a) in E

3) If f(a) is  in E then a is in f^-1(E)

4) If f(a) in f(D) and f is one-to-one, then a is in D

Using this I have to show

If f:A->B, where D is a subset of A, and E subset of B. Prove that if      A-f^-1(E) is a subset of f^-1(B-E).

Attempt:

Suppose f(x) is in A-f^-1(E).

Iff f(x) is in A and f(x) is not in f^-1(E)

Iff x is in f^-1(A) and x is not in E

This is where I am stuck. Does x is f^-1(A)=B. How do we end up with f(x) is in f^-1(B-E)
