Example of the complement of a set
The complement of a set is the set that includes all the elements of the universal set \(B\) that are not present in the given set \(A\). \(A\) must be a subset of \(B\). That is, all elements of \(A\) must also be contained in \(B\).
The set of all elements from \(B\) that are not contained in \(A\) are called the complement of \(A\).
The complement of \(A=\{5, 6, 7\}\) and \(B=\{4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9\}\) is \(\{4,8,9 \}\), because these numbers are not contained in \(A\).
