Math Problem Statement

consider the relation A x A where A = {2,3,4,5}. Find the set indicated by {(x,y)|x>4 and y<4}

Solution

Given the relation A×AA \times A, where A={2,3,4,5}A = \{2, 3, 4, 5\}, we need to find the set of all ordered pairs (x,y)(x, y) such that x>4x > 4 and y<4y < 4.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Identify the elements of set AA: A={2,3,4,5}A = \{2, 3, 4, 5\}

  2. Determine the condition x>4x > 4:

    • Since xx must be greater than 4 and xx is an element of AA, the only possible value for xx is 5.
  3. Determine the condition y<4y < 4:

    • Since yy must be less than 4 and yy is an element of AA, the possible values for yy are 2 and 3.
  4. Form the set of ordered pairs:

    • The ordered pairs (x,y)(x, y) satisfying the given conditions are: (5,2)and(5,3)(5, 2) \quad \text{and} \quad (5, 3)

Final Answer:

The set indicated by {(x,y)x>4 and y<4}\{(x, y) \mid x > 4 \text{ and } y < 4\} is: {(5,2),(5,3)}\{(5, 2), (5, 3)\}
