Understanding Set Cardinality

The video tutorial explains the concepts of set cardinality, focusing on sets A and B with cardinalities of 12 and 9, respectively. It explores the largest and smallest possible values for the cardinality of A union B and A intersect B, using scenarios where sets are disjoint or one is a subset of the other. The tutorial uses Venn diagrams to illustrate these concepts and provides calculations for different scenarios.

What happens to the cardinality of A union B if A and B are disjoint?

• It is the sum of their cardinalities
