What is the correct answer to the following blanks to prove that 𝒫(A) ∩ 𝒫(B) ⊆ 𝒫(A ∩ B)?

Suppose A and B are any sets.

  1. Let X be any element in 𝒫(A) ∩ 𝒫(B).
  2. Then X ∈ 𝒫(A) and X ∈ 𝒫(B) by definition of intersection
  3. Hence, X ⊆ A and X ⊆ B by definition of power set
  4. So, _____ by definition of subset
  5. Thus, _____ by _____
  6. _____ by _____
  7. Therefore, X ∈ _____. By _____
  8. Since X could be any element in _____ it follows that every element in _____ is in _____.
  9. Therefore, 𝒫(A) ∩ 𝒫(B) ⊆ 𝒫(A ∩ B).
