Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question you're asking is about how many relations are possible between two sets.
Let:
- Set have 3 elements.
- Set have 2 elements.
Concept:
A relation from set to set is any subset of the Cartesian product . The number of elements in is given by the product of the number of elements in and .
For each pair in , there are 2 possibilities: either the pair is included in the relation, or it is not included.
Therefore, the total number of possible relations is:
Answer:
The correct option is d) 64.
Would you like further details, or have any questions?
Here are five related questions to expand on this topic:
- What is the definition of a Cartesian product of two sets?
- How can we represent a relation from set to set graphically?
- What is the difference between a relation and a function?
- How would the number of possible relations change if both sets and had the same number of elements?
- Can a relation from set to set be a one-to-one relation?
Tip: The number of relations depends on the number of pairs in the Cartesian product of the two sets. Always remember this when calculating possible relations.
