x:
x C ↔ x A and x B
Set union
The union of twm setð A and B, written A B, is the set C such
that the following statement is true for every element x:
x C ↔ x A or x B
Subsets
A set A is a subset of a set B, written A B, if and only if the
following holdð true:
x A → x B
Proper subsets
A set A is a proper subset of a set B, written A B, if and only
if botà the following hold true:
x A → x B
A B
DisjoinŁ sets
Twm setð A and B are disjoint if and only if all three of the
