   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   A relation from $A$ to $B$ is any subset of $A \times B$; with $|A \times B| = 6$, there are $2^6 = 64$ subsets, hence 64 relations.

   A relation from $A$ to $B$ is defined as any subset of the Cartesian product $A \times B$. Here $|A| = 2$ and $|B| = 3$, so $|A \times B| = 2 \times 3 = 6$. The total number of subsets of a set with 6 elements is $2^6 = 64$. Since every subset of …

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   The number of relations from a set A to a set B is $2^{|A|\cdot|B|}$, since every relation is a subset of $A \times B$.

   Given $A=\{1,2\}$, $B=\{3,4\}$, so $|A|=2$, $|B|=2$.

   $A \times B$ has $|A|\times|B| = 2 \times 2 = 4$ ordered pairs: $(1,3),(1,4),(2,3),(2,4)$.

   Q.Write True/False: If Cartesian product of two sets A and B is $A \times B = \{(p, q), (p, r)\}$, then $A = \{p, q, r\}$.

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   In $A\times B=\{(p,q),(p,r)\}$, A is the set of first coordinates and B is the set of second coordinates; here $A=\{p\}$, not $\{p,q,r\}$.

   Every ordered pair $(x,y)\in A\times B$ has $x\in A$ and $y\in B$.

   Here both ordered pairs $(p,q)$ and $(p,r)$ have first component $p$, so the set of first components — which is exactly A — is $A=\{p\}$.

   A relation from A to B is any subset of $A\times B$; with $|A|=3,|B|=2$, there are $2^{3\times2}=64$ subsets.

   A relation from set $A$ to set $B$ is defined as any subset of the Cartesian product $A \times B$.

   $|A| = 3$ (elements $x,y,z$), $|B| = 2$ (elements $1,2$).

    The number of relations on a set of $n$ elements is $2^{n^2}$.

    A relation $R$ on set $A$ is defined as any subset of the Cartesian product $A\times A$. Since $A$ has $n$ elements, $A\times A$ has $n\times n = n^2$ ordered pairs. The number of subsets of a set with $n^2$ elements is $2^{n^2}$ (by the subset-counting rule). Each such subset is a valid relation on $A$ (including the …
