**Proposition 5.10.** _Let_ \( A \) _and_ \( B \) _be subsets of the universal set_ \( U \). _If_ \( A \subseteq B \), _then_ \( B^c \subseteq A^c \).In this proposition, we are given two subsets \( A \) and \( B \) of a universal set \( U \). The statement asserts that if \( A \) is a subset of \( B \) (meaning every element of \( A \) is also an element of \( B \)), then the complement of \( B \) is a subset of the complement of \( A \). Complements (\( B^c \) and \( A^c \)) refer to all elements in the universal set \( U \) that are not in sets \( B \) and \( A \) respectively. This proposition is a fundamental concept in set theory, illustrating the relationship between subsets and their complements. Let \( A \) and \( B \) be subsets of some universal set \( U \). From Proposition 5.10, we know that if \( A \subseteq B \), then \( B^c \subseteq A^c \). Now prove the following proposition:For all sets \( A \) and \( B \) that are subsets of some universal set \( U \), \( A \subseteq B \) if and only if \( B^c \subseteq A^c \).

Consider the following statement. Assume that all sets are subsets of a universal set U. For all sets A and B, if A C B then B C A°. Use an element argument to construct a proof for the statement by putting selected sentences from the following scrambled list in the correct order. Therefore, by definition of complement x E A, and thus, by definition of subset, B CA. Hence, x € A, because A NB = 0. By definition of complement, x € B. Suppose A and B are any sets such that AC B, and suppose x E B. If x were in A, then x would have to be in B by definition of subset. But x B, and so x A. Suppose A and B are any sets such that A C B, and suppose x E B. Proof: 1. .--Select--- 2.---Select--- 3. --Select--- 4. |--Select---
