Let A = {–2, 2} and B = (0, 3, 5). Find:
(i) A × B
(ii) B × A

Answer : (i) Given: A = {-2, 2} and B = {0, 3, 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, 2} and B = {0, 3, 5}. So,

A × B = {(-2, 0), (-2, 3), (-2, 5), (2, 0), (2, 3), (2, 5)}

(ii) Given: A = {-2, 2} and B = {0, 3, 5} To find: B × A

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, 2} and B = {0, 3, 5}. So,

B × A = {(0, -2), (0, 2), (3, -2), (3, 2), (5, -2), (5, 2)}
