Let A = {\bullet ,\square, \bigotimes} and B = {\square,\ominus, \bullet}.
(a) List the elements of A X B and B X A. The parentheses and comma in an ordered pair are not necessary in cases such as this where the elements of each set are individual symbol.
(b) Identifiy the intersection of A X B and B X A, for the case above, and then guess at a general rule for the intersection of A µ B and B µ A. where A and B are any two sets.

Respuesta :

(a) With A = {•, □, ⊗} and B = {□, ⊖, •}, we have

A × B = {(•, □), (•, ⊖), (•, •), (□, □), (□, ⊖), (□, •), (⊗, □), (⊗, ⊖), (⊗, •)}

and

B × A = {(□, •), (□, □), (□, ⊗), (⊖, •), (⊖, □), (⊖, ⊗), (•, •), (•, □), (•, ⊗)}

(b) The intersection of the two sets above is

(A × B) ∩ (B × A) = {(•, •), (•, □), (□, •), (□, □)}

Not sure what µ is supposed to represent, but I suppose you meant to again write × as in the Cartesian product. By definition, for any two sets A and B, we have

A × B = {(a, b) | aA and bB}

Then

(A × B) ∩ (B × A) = {(a, b) | aAB and bAB}

In the product found above, notice that • and □ are both elements of A and B, while ⊗ and ⊖ are exclusive to either set.
