(iii) Given: B = {1, 3} and C = {3, 5} To find: B × C
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, B = {1, 3} and C = {3, 5}. So,
B × C = (1, 3) × (3, 5)
= {(1, 3), (1, 5), (3, 3), (3, 5)}
(iv) Given: A = {-3, -1}
From part (iii), we get B × C = {(1, 3), (1, 5), (3, 3), (3, 5)} So,
A × (B × C) = {-3, -1} × {(1, 3), (1, 5), (3, 3), (3, 5)}
= (-3, 1, 3), (-3, 1, 5), (-3, 3, 3), (-3, 3, 5), (-1, 1, 3), (-1, 1, 5), (-1, 3, 3), (-1, 3, 5)}
