SUMMARY
Denumerability is established for disjoint sets A and B, confirming that the union of two disjoint denumerable sets is also denumerable. The proof relies on the existence of complete lists for each set, represented as a1, a2, a3,... for set A and b1, b2, b3,... for set B. The union of these sets can be systematically listed in an alternating fashion: a1, b1, a2, b2, a3, b3, and so forth. This method demonstrates that the union retains the property of denumerability.
