Answer
### a) \( A \times B = \{(1, e), (1, f), (2, e), (2, f), (3, e), (3, f)\} \)### b) \( B \times A = \{(e, 1), (e, 2), (e, 3), (f, 1), (f, 2), (f, 3)\} \)
Explanation
## Step 1: Define Cartesian Product
### The Cartesian product
is the set of all ordered pairs where the first element is from set
and the second element is from set
. ## Step 2: Calculate
### For each element in
, pair it with each element in
. This results in the set of ordered pairs: \( \{(1, e), (1, f), (2, e), (2, f), (3, e), (3, f)\} \).## Step 3: Define Cartesian Product
### The Cartesian product
is the set of all ordered pairs where the first element is from set
and the second element is from set
.## Step 4: Calculate
### For each element in
, pair it with each element in
. This results in the set of ordered pairs: \( \{(e, 1), (e, 2), (e, 3), (f, 1), (f, 2), (f, 3)\} \).
