3 <p>Every element in the universal set, except for those that are in both A and B, is the (A∩B) complement. De Morgan’s Law states that (A ∩ B)' = A' ∪ B', meaning it includes all elements that are neither in A nor in B.</p>

7 <p>De-Morgan’s law<a>of</a>the intersection of<a></a><a>sets</a>explains the A ∩<a>B complement</a>. It can be explained by the fact that the complement of two sets’ intersections is equal to the union of their individual sets. All elements in the<a>universal set</a>U that are not present in both A and B are included in A ∩ B. </p>

8 <h2>How to Represent A ∩ B Complement in Venn Diagram?</h2>

9 <p>The Venn diagram below shows the complement of A ∩ B, or the elements that are not a part of the<a>intersection of sets</a>A and B. The pink area shows A ∩ B complement, which is the universal set U with all the elements of set A ∩ B removed. The blue area shows the elements of set<a>A intersection B</a>. </p>

10 <h2>A ∩ B Complement Formula</h2>

11 <p>The union of the complements of sets A and B is the same as the A ∩ B complement, as we have learned thus far in this article. Thus, the<a>formula</a>for the complement of A ∩ B can be expressed in any of the following ways: </p>

12 <ul><li>\((A ∩ B)' = A' ∪ B'\)</li>

13 <li>\((A ∩ B)c = Ac ∪ Bc\)</li>

14 </ul><p><strong>Proof of A ∩ B Complement</strong></p>

15 <p>We are aware that the following formula provides the complement of the intersection of two sets, A and B:</p>

16 <p>\((A ∩ B)'=A' ∪ B'\)</p>

17 <p>We will demonstrate that each set is a<a>subset</a>of the others using the assumption method, also known as the method of mutual inclusion:</p>

18 <p>\((A ∩ B)' ⊆ A' ∪ B' and A' ∪ B' ⊆ (A ∩ B)'\). </p>

19 <p>Assume that an element x ∈ (A ∩ B)' is a part of (A ∩ B)'. This indicates that x is neither in A nor in B (<a>i</a>.e., x ∉ A or x ∉ B). Consequently, x ∈ (A ∩ B)', demonstrating that A\(' A ∪ B' ⊆ (A ∩ B)'\). Given that both sets are subsets of one another, we deduce that, \((A ∩ B)'=A' ∪ B'\)</p>

20 <p>Proof: Let x be any element that is in (A ∩ B)' </p>

21 <p>⇒ x is in (A ∩ B)'</p>

22 <p>⇒ x ∉ (A ∩ B)[using the<a>complement of a set</a>]</p>

23 <p>⇒ x is in A' or x is in B' [using the definition of a set’s complement, x is either in A' or B']</p>

24 <p>x ∈ A' ∪ B'</p>

25 <p>(A ∩ B)' ⊆ A' ∪ B' - (1)</p>

26 <p>Next, let us say that y is an element in A' ∪ B'</p>

27 <p>⇒y ∈ A' or y ∈ B'[either y is in A' or y is in B'</p>

28 <p>[Using the complement of a set definition] ⇒ y ∉ A or y ∉ B</p>

29 <p>⇒ y ∉ A ∩ B</p>

30 <p>⇒ y ∈ (A ∩ B)'</p>

31 <p>⇒\( A' ∪ B' ⊆ (A ∩ B)' \)- (2)</p>

32 <p>\((A ∩ B)' =A' ∪ B'\) is obtained from (1) and (2). The complement of sets A and B is equal to the union of their complements.</p>
