hi. i am studying the basic set theory.



I want to prove that statement. but precisely i don't know the proof.

Using De Morgan's law and the identity $A setminus B = A cap B^complement$, we have
$$begin{align} a notin A setminus B &iff a in (A setminus B)^complement \&iff a in (A cap B^complement)^complement \&iff a in A^complement cup B end{align}$$



So at least one of $a in A^complement$ or $a in B$ must be true. But $a in A implies a notin A^complement$, so we must have $a in B.$

    The key here is that $A = (A setminus B) cup (A cap B)$. [If you haven't proved that, or perhaps defined $A setminus B$ through this relation, then you should do that).



    But given that, you have that any $a$ is either in $A setminus B$, or $a in A cap B$. Since your prescribed $a$ is not in $A setminus B$, we have that $a in A cap B$, and thus $a in A$ and $a in B$.

      $A - B = {a : a in A land anotin B}$.



      Let's say $a in A$. Then $a notin A - B$ implies directly:



      $a$ is s.t $neg(a in A land a notin B)$. Which is equivalent to saying $(a notin A lor a in B)$. Since we have $a in A$ you get $a in B$..
