Prove That B ⊂ A ∪ B

Prove That B ⊂ A ∪ B

Question:

For any two sets \( A \) and \( B \), prove that:

\[ B \subset A\cup B \]

Solution

Let \( x \in B \).

Then \( x \) belongs to set \( B \).

By the definition of union of sets, if an element belongs to at least one of the sets \( A \) or \( B \), then it belongs to \( A\cup B \).

Therefore,

\[ x\in A\cup B \]

Hence every element of \( B \) is also an element of \( A\cup B \).

Therefore,

\[ B\subset A\cup B \]

Hence proved.
