No. It can be infinite, finite or null.

The set of odd integers is infinite, the set of even integers is infinite. Their intersection is void, or the null set.

Do sets always have an intersection that is not the empty set?

No, they do not.


Difference between Union and Set Intersection Operation?

union means to group the given sets. where as intersection means to pick out the common elements from the given sets. if set a has 1,2,3 elements and B has 1,2,3,4,5. then its union will have 1,2,3,4,5 as its elements. and its intersection will have 1,2,3 as its elements.


Can you relate the number of elements of a set to its number of subsets?

If the set has "n" elements, then you can make 2n different subsets. The number of subsets will always be greater than the size of the set, both for finite and for infinite sets.


What are the kinds of sets and definition?

What is a disjoint set?

ExplanationFormally, two sets A and B are disjoint if their intersection is the empty set, i.e. if This definition extends to any collection of sets. A collection of sets is pairwise disjoint or mutually disjoint if, given any two sets in the collection, those two sets are disjoint.Formally, let I be an index set, and for each i in I, let Ai be a set. Then the family of sets {Ai : i ∈ I} is pairwise disjoint if for any i and j in I with i ≠ j,For example, the collection of sets { {1}, {2}, {3}, ... } is pairwise disjoint. If {Ai} is a pairwise disjoint collection (containing at least two sets), then clearly its intersection is empty:However, the converse is not true: the intersection of the collection {{1, 2}, {2, 3}, {3, 1}} is empty, but the collection is not pairwise disjoint. In fact, there are no two disjoint sets in this collection.A partition of a set X is any collection of non-empty subsets {Ai : i ∈ I} of X such that {Ai} are pairwise disjoint andSets that are not the same.
