Class 11 Maths - Cartesian Products of Two sets (Important Points)
Chapter: Relations and Functions
① Let A and B be two nonempty sets. Then, the Cartesian product of A and B is the set denoted by (A×B), consisting of all ordered pairs (a, b) such that a ∈ A and b ∈ B.
∴ A × B = {(a, b): a ∈ A and b ∈ B }.
② If A = ϕ or B = ϕ (empty sets), we define A × B = ϕ
③ B × A = {(b, a) : b ∈ B and a ∈ A} and A × A = {(a,b):a,b ∈ A}.
