Math Problem Statement

Given the sets A = {1, 2}, B = {1, 2, 3}, and C = {1, 10, 100}, identify the Cartesian products A × B, B × B, and A × B × C. Additionally, find an n-tuple belonging to the Cartesian product C × B × B × A × B.

Solution

From the image, the question involves Cartesian products of sets and identifying elements that belong to a particular Cartesian product. Let’s break it down step by step:

Sets Given:

  • A={1,2}A = \{1, 2\}
  • B={1,2,3}B = \{1, 2, 3\}
  • C={1,10,100}C = \{1, 10, 100\}

Tasks:

  1. Find the Cartesian Products:

    • A×BA \times B
    • B×BB \times B
    • A×B×CA \times B \times C
  2. **Identify an nn-tuple that belongs to the product (C×B×B×A×B)(C \times B \times B \times A \times B).


Solution:

1. Cartesian Product A×BA \times B:

  • Each element of AA pairs with every element of BB.
  • A×B={(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3)}A \times B = \{(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3)\}.

2. Cartesian Product B×BB \times B:

  • Each element of BB pairs with every element of BB.
  • B×B={(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(3,1),(3,2),(3,3)}B \times B = \{(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3)\}.

3. Cartesian Product A×B×CA \times B \times C:

  • Each element of A×BA \times B pairs with every element of CC.
  • Result: A×B×C={(1,1,1),(1,1,10),(1,1,100),,(2,3,100)}A \times B \times C = \{(1, 1, 1), (1, 1, 10), (1, 1, 100), \dots, (2, 3, 100)\}, where \dots indicates all combinations of elements from A,B,CA, B, C.

4. Identify an nn-tuple in C×B×B×A×BC \times B \times B \times A \times B:

  • Elements of CC pair with elements from B,B,A,B, B, A, and BB, forming 5-tuples.
  • For example, a valid 5-tuple is (10,3,2,1,3)(10, 3, 2, 1, 3).

Would you like me to explain any part further or expand on Cartesian products? Here are some related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. What is the general formula for the size of a Cartesian product of two sets XX and YY?
  2. Can you compute B×AB \times A? How does it differ from A×BA \times B?
  3. How many elements are in A×B×CA \times B \times C?
  4. What is the role of order in Cartesian products? Does A×BA \times B equal B×AB \times A?
  5. How do you interpret a Cartesian product geometrically or visually?

Tip:

When working with Cartesian products, always ensure that the order of elements in the tuples matches the sets' sequence in the product!
