Correct answer: B

  1. Find set AAA

Given A={x∈R:∣x+1∣<2}A=\{x\in \mathbb{R}:|x+1|<2\}A={x∈R:∣x+1∣<2}

Solve the inequality: ∣x+1∣<2  ⟺  −2<x+1<2|x+1|<2 \iff -2<x+1<2∣x+1∣<2⟺−2<x+1<2   ⟺  −3<x<1\iff -3<x<1⟺−3<x<1

So, A=(−3,1)A=(-3,1)A=(−3,1)


  1. Find set BBB

Given B={x∈R:∣x−1∣≥2}B=\{x\in \mathbb{R}:|x-1|\ge 2\}B={x∈R:∣x−1∣≥2}

Solve: ∣x−1∣≥2  ⟺  x−1≥2 or x−1≤−2|x-1|\ge 2 \iff x-1\ge 2 \text{ or } x-1\le -2∣x−1∣≥2⟺x−1≥2 or x−1≤−2   ⟺  x≥3 or x≤−1\iff x\ge 3 \text{ or } x\le -1⟺x≥3 or x≤−1

So, B=(−∞,−1]∪[3,∞)B=(-\infty,-1]\cup[3,\infty)B=(−∞,−1]∪[3,∞)


  1. Check each option

Option A: A−B=(−1,1)A-B=(-1,1)A−B=(−1,1)

Here A−BA-BA−B means elements in AAA but not in BBB.

Since A=(−3,1),B=(−∞,−1]∪[3,∞)A=(-3,1),\quad B=(-\infty,-1]\cup[3,\infty)A=(−3,1),B=(−∞,−1]∪[3,∞)

Within AAA, the part belonging to BBB is (−3,1)∩(−∞,−1]=(−3,−1](-3,1)\cap (-\infty,-1]=(-3,-1](−3,1)∩(−∞,−1]=(−3,−1]. Thus remove this from AAA: A−B=(−3,1)∖(−3,−1]=(−1,1)A-B=(-3,1)\setminus (-3,-1]=(-1,1)A−B=(−3,1)∖(−3,−1]=(−1,1)

So Option A is true.


Option B: B−A=R−(−3,1)B-A=\mathbb{R}-(-3,1)B−A=R−(−3,1)

Compute B−AB-AB−A directly.

From B=(−∞,−1]∪[3,∞),A=(−3,1)B=(-\infty,-1]\cup[3,\infty), \quad A=(-3,1)B=(−∞,−1]∪[3,∞),A=(−3,1)

Remove from BBB the part common with AAA. Now, B∩A=(−3,1)∩((−∞,−1]∪[3,∞))=(−3,−1]B\cap A=(-3,1)\cap\big(( -\infty,-1]\cup[3,\infty)\big)=(-3,-1]B∩A=(−3,1)∩((−∞,−1]∪[3,∞))=(−3,−1]

Hence, B−A=((−∞,−1]∪[3,∞))∖(−3,−1]B-A = \left(( -\infty,-1]\cup[3,\infty)\right)\setminus (-3,-1]B−A=((−∞,−1]∪[3,∞))∖(−3,−1] =(−∞,−3]∪[3,∞)= (-\infty,-3]\cup[3,\infty)=(−∞,−3]∪[3,∞)

But R−(−3,1)=(−∞,−3]∪[1,∞)\mathbb{R}-(-3,1)=(-\infty,-3]\cup[1,\infty)R−(−3,1)=(−∞,−3]∪[1,∞)

These are not equal, because [1,3)[1,3)[1,3) is included in R−(−3,1)\mathbb{R}-(-3,1)R−(−3,1) but not in B−AB-AB−A.

So Option B is false.


Option C: A∩B=(−3,−1]A\cap B=(-3,-1]A∩B=(−3,−1]

Compute: A∩B=(−3,1)∩((−∞,−1]∪[3,∞))=(−3,−1]A\cap B=(-3,1)\cap\big(( -\infty,-1]\cup[3,\infty)\big)=(-3,-1]A∩B=(−3,1)∩((−∞,−1]∪[3,∞))=(−3,−1]

So Option C is true.


Option D: A∪B=R−[1,3)A\cup B=\mathbb{R}-[1,3)A∪B=R−[1,3)

Now, A∪B=(−3,1)∪(−∞,−1]∪[3,∞)A\cup B=(-3,1)\cup(-\infty,-1]\cup[3,\infty)A∪B=(−3,1)∪(−∞,−1]∪[3,∞)

Combining the first two parts: (−∞,−1]∪(−3,1)=(−∞,1)(-\infty,-1]\cup(-3,1)=(-\infty,1)(−∞,−1]∪(−3,1)=(−∞,1)

Therefore, A∪B=(−∞,1)∪[3,∞)A\cup B=(-\infty,1)\cup[3,\infty)A∪B=(−∞,1)∪[3,∞)

And this is exactly R−[1,3)\mathbb{R}-[1,3)R−[1,3)

So Option D is true.


  1. Conclusion

The statement which is NOT true is: B\boxed{\text{B}}B​
