11 Questions around this concept.
The difference of the sets A and B in this order is the set of elements which belong to A but not to B.
Symbolically, we write A – B and read as “A minus B”.
For example, If A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and B = {4, 5, 6, 8},
Then, A - B = {1, 2, 3} and B - A = {5, 6, 8}
The sets A – B, A ∩ B and B – A are mutually disjoint sets, i.e., the intersection of any two of these sets is the null set as shown in figure
Properties of Difference of Sets
1. In general A - B does not equal B - A
2. A - A =
3. A - = A
4. A - U =
5. If A is a subset of B, then A - B =
Symmetric Difference of Sets ( A Δ B )
Symmetric difference of two sets A and B is defined as
A Δ B = ( A - B ) ∪ ( B - A )
Venn Diagram
Clearly, A Δ B also equals ( A ∪ B) - ( A ∩ B )
