(A) The difference of two sets $A$ and $B$,denoted by $A - B$,is defined as the set of all elements that are in $A$ but not in $B$.Mathematically,$A - B = \{x : x \in A 	ext{ and } x 
otin B\}$.Since $x 
otin B$ is equivalent to $x \in B^c$ (where $B^c$ is the complement of $B$ with respect to the universal set $U$),we can write $A - B = \{x : x \in A 	ext{ and } x \in B^c\}$.Therefore,$A - B = A \cap B^c$.

Let $A$ and $B$ be two sets in a universal set $U$. Then $A - B$ is equal to:

Which of the following pairs of sets are disjoint?
${1, 2, 3, 4}$ and ${x : x \text{ is a natural number and } 4 \le x \le 6}$

Find the union of each of the following pairs of sets: $A = \{a, e, i, o, u\}$,$B = \{a, b, c\}$.

If $A = \{3, 5, 7, 9, 11\}$,$B = \{7, 9, 11, 13\}$,$C = \{11, 13, 15\}$,and $D = \{15, 17\}$,find $A \cap C \cap D$.

If $A = \{ x : x \text{ is a natural number} \}$,$B = \{ x : x \text{ is an even natural number} \}$,$C = \{ x : x \text{ is an odd natural number} \}$ and $D = \{ x : x \text{ is a prime number} \}$,find $B \cap C$.
