Sec 2.2 Question 8f)

Prove the remaining parts of Theorem 2.2.2: Let U be the universe, and let A and B be subsets of U. Then 

A ∩ B = ∅ if and only if A ⊆ Bc [Method 1: assume A ∩ B = ∅ then prove A ⊆ Bc, and also assume A ⊆ Bc then prove A ∩ B = ∅. Method 2: A ⊆ Bc iff x ∈ A ⇒ x ∈ Bc iff x ∈ A ⇒ x ∉ . . . iff (you should be able to show that no x in A is in B to obtain A ∩ B = ∅)]
