Question

The Cartesian product p*p
has 9 elements among which are found (-2, 0) and (0, 2). the set P is _____ and the remaining elements of P × P__________

Answer 1

${\huge {\boxed{\bold{\boxed{\mathfrak{\color{Blue}{Answer}}}}}}}$

We know that,

If n(A) = p and n(B) = q, then n(A × B) = pq

From the given,

n(A × A) = 9

n(A) × n(A) = 9,

n(A) = 3 ……(i)

The ordered pairs (-1, 0) and (0, 1) are two of the nine elements of A × A.

Therefore, A × A = {(a, a) : a ∈ A}

Hence, -1, 0, 1 are the elemets of A. …..(ii)

From (i) and (ii),

A = {-1, 0, 1}

The remaining elements of set A × A are (-1, -1), (-1, 1), (0, -1), (0, 0), (1, -1), (1, 0) and (1, 1)
