Results Concerning Set Difference with Union

Theorem

 * 1) $$R - \left({S \cup T}\right) = \left({R \cup T}\right) - \left({S \cup T}\right)$$
 * 2) $$R - \left({S \cup T}\right) = \left({R - S}\right) - T = \left({R - T}\right) - S$$
 * 3) $$\left({R \cup S}\right) - T = \left({R - T}\right) \cup \left({S - T}\right)$$: Set difference is right distributive over union;
 * 4) $$R - \left({S - T}\right) = \left({R - S}\right) \cup \left({R \cap T}\right)$$
 * 5) $$R - S \subseteq \left({R - T}\right) \cup \left({T - S}\right)$$

Proof of First Assertion

Thus $$R - \left({S \cup T}\right) = \left({R - S}\right) - T$$.
