Math Problem Statement

Let A = {0, 3}, B = {a, b, c}. Find the Cartesian products A × B, A × A, B × A, and B × B.

Solution

The image contains a mathematical note on the Cartesian product of sets. Here's a breakdown of what it contains:

  1. Definition:

    • The Cartesian product of two sets AA and BB, denoted as A×BA \times B, is the set of all ordered pairs (a,b)(a, b), where aAa \in A and bBb \in B.
    • Mathematically, it's written as: A×B={(a,b):aA,bB}A \times B = \{(a, b) : a \in A, b \in B\}
  2. Example Sets:

    • A={0,3}A = \{0, 3\}
    • B={a,b,c}B = \{a, b, c\}
  3. Tasks:

    • You are asked to find:
      1. A×BA \times B
      2. A×AA \times A
      3. B×AB \times A
      4. B×BB \times B

Solutions:

  1. A×BA \times B:

    • The ordered pairs from AA and BB are: A×B={(0,a),(0,b),(0,c),(3,a),(3,b),(3,c)}A \times B = \{(0, a), (0, b), (0, c), (3, a), (3, b), (3, c)\}
  2. A×AA \times A:

    • The ordered pairs from AA and AA are: A×A={(0,0),(0,3),(3,0),(3,3)}A \times A = \{(0, 0), (0, 3), (3, 0), (3, 3)\}
  3. B×AB \times A:

    • The ordered pairs from BB and AA are: B×A={(a,0),(a,3),(b,0),(b,3),(c,0),(c,3)}B \times A = \{(a, 0), (a, 3), (b, 0), (b, 3), (c, 0), (c, 3)\}
  4. B×BB \times B:

    • The ordered pairs from BB and BB are: B×B={(a,a),(a,b),(a,c),(b,a),(b,b),(b,c),(c,a),(c,b),(c,c)}B \times B = \{(a, a), (a, b), (a, c), (b, a), (b, b), (b, c), (c, a), (c, b), (c, c)\}

5 Related Questions:

  1. What happens if one of the sets is empty in a Cartesian product?
  2. How does the Cartesian product relate to functions?
  3. Can we extend the Cartesian product to more than two sets?
  4. How does the Cartesian product behave when the sets are infinite?
  5. What is the relationship between Cartesian products and coordinate systems?

Tip:

The size of the Cartesian product A×BA \times B is the product of the cardinalities of AA and BB, i.e., A×B=A×B|A \times B| = |A| \times |B|.
