The number of distinct elements in a finite set is called its:

Answer: cardinality.

  • A cardinality
  • B ordered pair
  • C power
  • D index

Correct answer: A. cardinality

Explanation: The cardinality n(A) is the count of elements in the set A.

Set Operations: Union, Intersection, ComplementUABA∩BOutside both circles = (A∪B)' = A'∩B' (De Morgan)A∪B = everything in either circle; A∩B = only the overlap

A Venn diagram makes set identities visual: A∪B is everything inside either circle, A∩B is only the overlap, and the region outside both circles represents the complement of their union - directly illustrating De Morgan's law (A∪B)′ = A′∩B′.
