SHORT ANSWER. Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the
question.

4) For the sets U = {61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67}, A = {61, 62, 63, 64}, and B = {63, 4)
64, 65, 66}, find (A B) and A B . Does the result confirm your version of
De Morgan’s second law? Does your result prove it?
Answer: A B = {63, 64}, so (A B) = {61, 62, 65, 66, 67}
A = {65, 66, 67} and B = {61, 62, 67} so A B = {61, 62, 65, 66, 67}
The result confirms the law but does not prove it.
