Example \(\PageIndex{1}\)

Let \(A = \{\mbox{John}, \mbox{Jim}, \mbox{Dave}\}\) and \(B = \{\mbox{Mary}, \mbox{Lucy}\}\). Determine \(A\times B\) and \(B\times A\).

Solution

We find \[\displaylines{ A\times B = \{ (\mbox{John},\mbox{Mary}), (\mbox{John},\mbox{Lucy}), (\mbox{Jim}, \mbox{Mary}), (\mbox{Jim}, \mbox{Lucy}), (\mbox{Dave},\mbox{Mary}), (\mbox{Dave},\mbox{Lucy})\}, \\ B\times A = \{ (\mbox{Mary},\mbox{John}), (\mbox{Mary},\mbox{Jim}), (\mbox{Mary},\mbox{Dave}), (\mbox{Lucy},\mbox{John}), (\mbox{Lucy},\mbox{Jim}), (\mbox{Lucy},\mbox{Dave})\}.}\nonumber\] In general, \(A\times B \neq B\times A\).
