Example Question #141 : Other Topics
Using DeMorgan's law, which of the following is equivalent to the statement
The easiest way to remember DeMorgan's law is that you flip the symbol upside down (which changes union to intersection and vice versa), complement both sets (remembering that the complement of a complement is just that set), and either remove parentheses or add parentheses and place the complement symbol outside of it
Flip the intersection symbol to a union, complement both sets, and add parentheses with the complement symbol outside of it.
Example Question #142 : Other Topics
Use DeMorgan's law to write a statement that is equivalent to the following statement
The easiest way to remember DeMorgan's law is that you flip the symbol upside down (which changes union to intersection and vice versa), complement both sets (remembering that the complement of a complement is just that set), and either remove parentheses or add parentheses and place the complement symbol outside of it.
Flip the symbol from an intersection to a union, complement both sets, and remove the parentheses.

Using DeMorgan's law, is the statement 
No, the equivalent statement is
No, the equivalent statement is
Yes, the statements are equivalent.
No, the equivalent statement is
No, the equivalent statement is
Yes, the statements are equivalent.
The easiest way to remember DeMorgan's law is that you flip the symbol upside down (which changes union to intersection and vice versa), complement both sets (remembering that the complement of a complement is just that set), and either remove parentheses or add parentheses and place the complement symbol outside of it.
Flip the union symbol to an intersection, complement both sets, add parentheses and a complement symbol outside the parentheses.
Example Question #144 : Other Topics
Using DeMorgan's law, is the statement 
No, the equivalent statement is
Yes, the statements are equivalent.
No, the equivalent statement is

The easiest way to remember DeMorgan's law is that you flip the symbol upside down (which changes union to intersection and vice versa), complement both sets (remembering that the complement of a complement is just that set), and either remove parentheses or add parentheses and place the complement symbol outside of it.
Flip the union symbol to an intersection symbol, complement both sets, and remove the parentheses
Example Question #145 : Other Topics
Using DeMorgan's law, which of the following is equivalent to the statement
The first step is to realize that the C and intersection symbol in the original question are distractions and have nothing to do with applying DeMorgan's Law.
In the parentheses, flip the symbol from an intersection to a union and complement both sets.
Normally, with only two sets, you should eliminate the parentheses that was there to show that the complement symbol applied to the entire parentheses. However, with three sets you still need to know the order in which to work out the problem so you should keep the parentheses around B and A.
