Theorem

The intersection of a set and its relative complement is the empty set:

$T \cap \complement_S \left({T}\right) = \varnothing$


Proof

\(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle T \cap \complement_S \left({T}\right)\) \(=\) \(\displaystyle \left({S \setminus T}\right) \cap T\) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \)          Definition of relative complement          
\(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(=\) \(\displaystyle \varnothing\) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \) \(\displaystyle \)          Set Difference Intersection Second Set is Empty Set          

$\blacksquare$
