(b) What are the smallest and largest possible values of |A ∩ B|? Explain. (c) What are the smallest and largest possible values of |A × B|? Explain.
(a) The smallest possible value of |A ∪ B| is 8, which is the same as the number of elements in A. The largest possible value of |A ∪ B| is 9, since B has 5 elements that could potentially be added to A. (b) The smallest possible value of |A ∩ B| is 0, since B contains elements that may not exist in A. The largest possible value of |A ∩ B| is 4, which is the same as the number of elements in A. (c) The smallest possible value of |A × B| is 0, since B could contain elements that are not related to any of the elements in A. The largest possible value of |A × B| is 40, since A contains 4 elements and B contains 5 elements, and each element in A could have a relationship with each element in B.
