Math Problem Statement

If X = {1, 2, 3, 5}, Y = {3, 5, 6}, find: 1) (Y ∩ X) × Y, 2) n(Y^2)

Solution

Let's analyze the problem in the image:

You are given two sets:

  • X={1,2,3,5}X = \{ 1, 2, 3, 5 \}
  • Y={3,5,6}Y = \{ 3, 5, 6 \}

The two tasks are:

  1. Find (YX)×Y(Y \cap X) \times Y (the Cartesian product of the intersection of YY and XX with YY).
  2. Find n(Y2)n(Y^2) (the number of elements in Y2Y^2).

1. (YX)×Y(Y \cap X) \times Y

First, calculate the intersection YXY \cap X:

  • YX={3,5}Y \cap X = \{ 3, 5 \} (the elements common to both sets).

Now, calculate the Cartesian product (YX)×Y(Y \cap X) \times Y, which means forming all ordered pairs (a,b)(a, b), where aYXa \in Y \cap X and bYb \in Y:

  • (YX)={3,5}(Y \cap X) = \{ 3, 5 \}
  • Y={3,5,6}Y = \{ 3, 5, 6 \}

The Cartesian product is: {(3,3),(3,5),(3,6),(5,3),(5,5),(5,6)}\{ (3,3), (3,5), (3,6), (5,3), (5,5), (5,6) \}

2. n(Y2)n(Y^2)

Y2Y^2 refers to the Cartesian product of Y×YY \times Y, meaning all ordered pairs (a,b)(a, b), where both aa and bb are elements of YY. The size n(Y2)n(Y^2) is the number of elements in the Cartesian product Y×YY \times Y.

The Cartesian product Y×YY \times Y will be: Y×Y={(3,3),(3,5),(3,6),(5,3),(5,5),(5,6),(6,3),(6,5),(6,6)}Y \times Y = \{ (3,3), (3,5), (3,6), (5,3), (5,5), (5,6), (6,3), (6,5), (6,6) \}

So, n(Y2)=9n(Y^2) = 9, since there are 9 ordered pairs.

Summary:

  1. (YX)×Y={(3,3),(3,5),(3,6),(5,3),(5,5),(5,6)}(Y \cap X) \times Y = \{ (3,3), (3,5), (3,6), (5,3), (5,5), (5,6) \}
  2. n(Y2)=9n(Y^2) = 9

Tip: When performing a Cartesian product, always ensure that each element from the first set is paired with every element of the second set.
