Let A = {circle, square, triangle} and let B = {3, 4}. Find A X B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you explain further on this problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if A and B are supposed to be matrices, it is not possible as you have typed them in.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what are the dimensions of A and B? is A 3X1 and B 1X2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because that's the only combination that allows to you to multiply A and B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so your answer is \[\left[\begin{matrix} 3 cirlce & 4 circle \\3 \square & 4 \square \\3 \triangle & 4 \triangle\end{matrix}\right]\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is wrong. This is a set theory question. The operation is cartesian product.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

{(circle, 3), (circle, 4), (square, 3), (square, 4), (triangle, 3), (triangle, 4)}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you understand the process?
