Prove the following closure properties for regular languages. Prove that for any regular language L , b a r ( L ) is also regular.

Prove the following closure properties for regular languages. Prove that for any
regular language L,bar(L) is also regular.
You can break the proof into following steps:
Closure Under Intersection: Intersection of L1 and L2 is L1L2=
{x|xinL1??xinL2}.
Hint: Use the ideas from "closure under union of DFAs" (closure of DFAs
directly, and not through NFAs). From DFA D1={,Q1,s1,A1,1}
for L1, and DFA D2={,Q2,s2,A2,2} for L2, construct DFA D=
{,Q1Q2,(s1,s2),A,} for L1L2. Clearly define A and in terms of
D1 and D2's components.
Closure Under Complement: Complement of L is ?bar(L)={x|x!inL}.
Hint: From DFA D={,Q,s,A,} for L, construct DFA D'={,Q,s,A','}
for ?bar(L). Clearly define A' in terms of ,Q,s,A,.
Closer Under Difference: Difference of L1 and L2 is
{:L1??x!inL2}.
Hint: For L1 and L2, represent L1-L2 as an expression over L1 and L2
that only uses "closure under intersection and complement".
