The correct Answer is:
To find the set difference \( A - B \), we follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definition of Set Difference The set difference \( A - B \) (also denoted as \( A \setminus B \)) is defined as the set of elements that are in set \( A \) but not in set \( B \). ### Step 2: Identify the Elements of Sets A and B Let's assume we have two sets: - Set \( A = \{ a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots, a_n \} \) - Set \( B = \{ b_1, b_2, b_3, \ldots, b_m \} \) ### Step 3: Determine the Elements in \( A \) that are not in \( B \) To find \( A - B \), we need to look at each element in set \( A \) and check if it is present in set \( B \). If an element from \( A \) is not found in \( B \), it will be included in the resulting set \( A - B \). ### Step 4: Write the Resulting Set The resulting set \( A - B \) will be: \[ A - B = \{ x \in A \mid x \notin B \} \] ### Example If we take: - \( A = \{ 1, 2, 3, 4 \} \) - \( B = \{ 3, 4, 5 \} \) Then: - \( A - B = \{ 1, 2 \} \) because 1 and 2 are in \( A \) but not in \( B \). ### Conclusion Thus, \( A - B \) is the set of elements that belong to \( A \) but not to \( B \). ---
