I have a statement that $x notin (A cap B)$. I know that this implies $(x notin A$ or $x notin B)$, as it makes sense intuitively.
My question is, by definition of intersection of sets, wouldn't it become $(xnotin A $ and $x notin B)$?? I know it's wrong, but just going by definitions, why is this incorrect?

What is the error in my thinking here? should $x notin (A cap B)$ be viewed as $x in NOT(A cap B)$?
