Definition of Complement of Sets What are you going to learn?
To define complement of set To determine complement of set To determine the difference between two sets To show complement of set in a Venn diagram To show the difference between two sets in a Venn diagram

EXAMPLE 1
Given U a set of all subjects in your school, or U = {PPKn, Bahasa Indonesia, Matematika, Ekonomi, PKK, IPA, IPS, Bahasa Inggris, Pendidikan Jasmani, Kesenian}. If the set M = {IPA, Matematika} and U is its universal set, then which subjects are elements of the set U, but not elements of the set M?

Key Terms:
complement Set the difference between two sets

EXAMPLE 2
Given U is the set of all Latin alphabets written as U = {All letters in Latin alphabet}.

If the set V = {vowel in Latin alphabet} and U is its universal set, then which letters are elements of the set U but not in set V? In the Example 1, PPKn, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Inggris, Ekonomi, PKK, IPS, Pendidikan Jasmani, and Kesenian are elements of the universal set U, but not in M. In Example 2, consonants like b and n are elements of the universal set U but not in set V. The subjects that are not elements of the set M and letters that are not elements of the set V, are subsets of the universal set U.

Such subsets are called complement sets. The complement set of the set M is written as M and read as the complement of set M or complement M. The complement of the set V is written as V and read as complement V

Given set A and its universal set is U. Then the complement of A, or A, is: A = {x x U and x A}

The Venn Diagram of Complement of Set

Notice again the set of subjects and letters in Latin alphabet in Example 1 and 2. The solution of each example is:

a. U = {PPKn, Bhs Indonesia, Matematika, Ekonomi, PKK, IPA, IPS, Bhs Inggris, Penjas, Kesenian} M = { IPA, Matematika } M = {PPKn, Bhs Indonesia, Bhs Inggris, Ekonomi, PKK, IPS, Penjas, Kesenian} The Venn diagram is as follows:

Based on the above activity, it can be concluded that: The relation between sets, its complement, and its universal set (1) E E = (2) E E = U (3) n(E)+n(E)= n(U)

The union or the intersection of two sets also has a complement.

EXAMPLE 5
Given U = the set of the first 40 natural numbers, A = the set of the first 6 squared natural numbers, B = the set of the first 6 natural numbers of multiple of four find (A B). Solution: Because U = {1, 2, 3, ..., 38, 39, 40} A = { 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36 } and B = { 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 } then A B = { 4, 16} and (A B)= {1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40} The Venn diagram is as follows.

The Difference between Two Sets

At the beginning of this subchapter, we have described the complement set of the universal set U. Now we are going to learn about the complement of a set in relation to another set.

EXAMPLE 6
Look at the following sets A and B: A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and B = {2, 5, 7, 11}. In those two sets, find the elements of B that are not included in A. Using the definition of complement, the complement of A to B is the set of elements in B but not in A, i.e. {7, 11}. The

complement B to A is the set of elements in A, but not in B, i.e. {1, 3, 4}.

The complement B to A, written as A B, is read as present in A but not in B. The complement A to B, written as B A, is read as present in B, but not in A. For the set above; (i) B A = {7, 11} (ii) A B = {1, 3, 4}

The notation of the difference between two sets is written as follows.

Given set A and B. Then the difference is: A - B= {x x A and x B} B - A= {x x B and x A}

EXAMPLE 7
Given P = {1, 3, 5} and Q = {2, 4, 6}. Because P Q = , then P Q = P = {1, 3, 5} and Q P = {2, 4, 6}. Study the diagrams below. U 1 3 5 P 2 4 6 PQ=P Q U 1 3 5 P 2 4 6 Q
