A database system utilizes relational algebra. If a query involving a union operation results in increased cardinality, which cause explains this outcome?

💡 Explanation

The cardinality increases in set theory when two disjoint sets are united because all elements from both sets are included, therefore increasing the size of the resulting set, rather than if there were overlapping elements, attributes, or subsets.

• A wireless router allocates bandwidth to connected devices using a greedy algorithm; which consequence follows?
• During a computational geometry problem of finding intersecting line segments within a map, which outcome occurs when the sweep line encounters a new event point?
• If a self-driving delivery robot's path-planning algorithm encounters a road closure causing all routes from its origin to a destination neighborhood to be temporarily severed, which consequence follows?
• If a custom DNA sequencing algorithm processes data in overlapping chunks, which consequence follows if the chunk processing sequence contains duplicated segments?
• What happens to the row player's payoff when mixed strategies converge to a Nash equilibrium within a two-player game represented by a payoff matrix?
• If a sorting algorithm method guarantees that elements preceding a 'pivot' are always less than the pivot, which consequence follows?
