5. let a = (x, y), b = {1,2). find the cartesian products of a and b: a x b? (hint: the result will be a set of pairs (a, b) where a e a and b e b)

A x B = {(x,1), (x,2), (y,1), (y,2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cartesian product of any two sets M and N is the set of all possible ordered pairs such that the elements of M are first values and the elements of N are the second values.

The Cartesian product of sets M and N is denoted by M × N.

For Example : M = {x,y} and N={a,b}

Then , M × N ={(x,a), (x,b), (y,a), (y,b)}

Given : Let A = {x, y}, B = {1,2}

Then , the Cartesian products of A and B will be :

A x B = {(x,1), (x,2), (y,1), (y,2)}

Hence, the Cartesian products of A and B = A x B = {(x,1), (x,2), (y,1), (y,2)}

the correct answer is the second option
