My question is quite simple but I want to have my answer clarified to make sure it's right. If A={1,2}and B={f,g,h}, what is the Cartesian product of A X B? My answer is A X B = {(1,f),(1,g), (1,h), (2,f), (2,g), (2,h)}. I'm not sure of the notation being correct.Is this answer correct? |

There is no answer at this time. |

Yes, it is correct. --- In mathematics, the Cartesian product (or direct product) X × Y of two sets X and Y is the set of all possible ordered pairs whose first component is a member of X and whose second component is a member of Y. --- look in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_product |

Just so. I'll make the link provided by clovek-ga "live": [Cartesian product -- Wikipedia] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_product Note that the cardinality of (number of elements in) the Cartesian product is the product of the cardinalities of the two sets. More generally we can speak of the Cartesian product of more than two sets, replacing the order pairs (x,y) of one element from each respective set with an order n-tuple (eg. triple, quadruple, etc.), which extends in the infinite case to a "sequence" indexed by the family of sets being "producted". regards, mathtalk-ga |
