Can anyone just check if I got it right please?
And if so could you just explain the theorems that come with each line? Many many thanks in advance

(A-B) n (B-A) = (AuB’) n (BuA’)
= (Au(BuA’)) u(B’n (BuA’))
= ((AnB) u (AnA’)) u ((B’nB) u (B’nA’))
= (AnB) u Ø u Ø u (B’nA’)
= (AnB) u (B’nA’)
= (AnB) u (BuA)’
= (AnB) - (BuA)
= (AnB) - (AuB)

If A = {1,2,3,4} and B = {3,4,5,6}, what is A-B? What is B-A? What is their intersection?
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
