Set Theoretic Operations
Concept: Difference
The difference of two sets A and B is a new set, denoted A\B, containing all members of the set A which are not members of the set B.
Graphic Representation
The area shaded in orange represents A\B.
Example
If A = {x 
| -1 
x 5}
and B = {x
| 2 < x
< 8}
then A
B =
{x
| 2 < x
5}
and A
B =
{x
| -1 x <
8}
