Universal and Empty Set

Q1: What is the complement of a set A?
A1: The complement of a set A is the set that contains all elements that do not belong to A.

A^c=\{ x: x\not\in A\}

It follows that:
(A^c)^c=A

Q2: What is the universal set?
A2: The universal set \Omega is the set that contains all conceivable elements.
Hence, A \cup A^c = \Omega

Q3: What is the complement of the universal set?
A3: The empty set {} is the complement of the universal set. The empty set contains no elements.
Hence, A \cap A^c = \{\}
