Question 1069898
.
If n(a) = 35 and n(b)=8 find the following if the sets A and B are disjoint:

a) n (A intersect B)

b) N (a union B)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
a)  In my understanding, if the sets A and B are disjoint, then their intersection is empty.

    Hence, "if the sets A and B are disjoint", then  n ( A intersect B) = 0  <U>independently of numbers n(A), n(B)</U>.



b) n (A union B) = n(A) + n(B) = 35 + 8 = 42.   (since the sets A and B are disjoint)
