Method to Find the Sets When Cartesian Product is Given
For finding these two sets, we write first element of each ordered pair in first set say A and corresponding
second element in second set B (say).
Number of Elements in Cartesian Product of Two Sets
If there are p elements in set A and q elements in set B, then there will be pq elements in A × B i.e. if n(A) = p
and n(B) = q, then n(A × B) = pq.
(i) The Cartesian product A × A has 9 elements among which are found (-1, 0) and (0, 1). Find the set A and
the remaining elements of A × A.
(ii) A and B are two sets given in such a way that A × B contains 6 elements. If three elements of A × B are
(1, 3), (2, 5) and (3, 3), then find the remaining elements of A × B.
(iii) If the set A has 3 elements and set B has 4 elements, then find the number of elements in A × B.
OR

We have, i = √−1 . So, we can write the higher powers of i as follows

i. i2 = -1
ii. i3 = i

⋅i = (-1)⋅ i = -i

iii. i4 = (i2)2 = (-1)2 = 1

iv. i5 = i4+1 = i4⋅ i = 1⋅ i = i

v. i6 = i4+2 = i4⋅ i2 = 1⋅ i2 = -1...

In order to compute in for n > 4, write

in = i4q+r for some q, r ∈ N and 0 ≤ r ≤ 3. Then, in = i4q ⋅ ir

=(i4)q ⋅ ir = (1)q ⋅ ir = ir
