CARTESIAN PRODUCT OF SETS

The Language of Sets


Cartesian Product
Is the exhaustive
{a, b, c}
pairing of the elements
of one set to the
elements of another.

{1, 2, 3}
Cartesian product
The Cartesian Product of sets A and B,
denoted as A x B, is the set of all possible
ordered pairs (a, b) where a is an element of
A and b is an element of B.
Cartesian product
For example

A = {a, b, c}
B = {1, 2, 3}

A x B (The cartesian product of A and B) =


{(a, 1), (a, 2), (a, 3), (b, 1), (b, 2), (b, 3), (c, 1), (c, 2), (c, 3)}
Cartesian product
Note that when writing the ordered pairs, the
elements of the first set are written as the first
element in the ordered pair.

A = {a, b, c}
B = {1, 2, 3}
A x B = {(a, 1), (a, 2), (a, 3), (b, 1), (b, 2), (b, 3), (c, 1),
(c, 2), (c, 3)}
Cartesian product
Note also that the ordered pairs use a pair of
parentheses (), not brackets {}.

{(a, 1), (a, 2), (a, 3), (b, 1), (b, 2), (b, 3), (c, 1), (c,
2), (c, 3)}

Since the Cartesian Product is a set of ordered


pairs, the ordered pairs are still enclosed in a pair
of brackets.
Let’s try!
Find the Cartesian Product of the following
pair of sets:

A = {1, 3, 5, 7}
B = (2, 4, 6, 8}
Let’s try!
Rio Anne is deciding on her itinerary of her
activities for the Sundays of September 23. If she
plans of doing one activity per Sunday, what are
the possible combinations of dates and activities
she can do?

D = {x|x is a Sunday of September 2023}


E = {movie watching, swimming, fishing, going to
the Park}
