p*q= {(a,1),(a,2),(a,3),(b,1),(b,2),(b,3)}
|___|
- ordered pairs
q*p = {(1,a),(1,B),(2,a),(2,b),(3,a),(3,b)}
[] points to remember about cartesian products of
sets.
‘ • Two ordered pairs are equal, if and only if the
corresponding first elements are equal and the
second elements are also equal.
• If there are p elements in A and q elements in B,
then there will be pq elements in A xB
If A and B are non-empty sets either A or B is an
infinite set, then so is A x B
• AxAxA = {(a, b, c) : a, b, c E A}. Here (a, b, c) is
called an ordered triplet.
