Induction and Set theory : Addition Principle, Union and Pairwise Disjoint Finite Sets

Proposition 10.2.1:  (the addition principle)

Suppose that X and Y are disjoint finite sets.  Then X U Y is finite and |X U Y| = |X| + |Y|.

Corollary 10.2.2:
For a positive integer n, suppose that X1, X2….,Xn is a collection of n pairwise disjoint finite sets (i.e. i does not = j => Xi     Xj = empty set)

Then X1 U X2 U….U Xn =   U ( lim from n to i=1) Xi is a finite set and
|X1 U X2 U……U Xn| = |X1| + |X2|+….|Xn|.
