Let A = {2, 3} and B = {4, 5}. Find (A × B). How many subsets will (A × B) have? |
Answer» Given: A = {2, 3} and B = {4, 5} To find: A × B By the definition of the Cartesian product, Given two non – empty sets P and Q. The Cartesian product P × Q is the set of all ordered pairs of elements from P and Q, .i.e. P × Q = {(p, q) : p Є P, q Є Q} Here, A = {2, 3} and B = {4, 5}. So, A × B = (2, 3) × (4, 5) = {(2, 4), (2, 5), (3, 4), (3, 5)} ∴Number of elements of A × B = n = 4 Number of subsets of A × B = 2n = 24 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16 ∴, the set A × B has 16 subsets. |
