Exercise · ZW-ZERMELO-FRAENKEL-AXIOMS-005 · ★★☆ Intermediate

If \( A=\{1,2\} \) and \( B=\{3\} \), how many elements does \( A\times B \) have?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • A. 2

Explanation

The pairs are (1,3) and (2,3), so there are two elements. Adding cardinalities instead of multiplying gives a wrong result.

Review the concept: Zermelo–Fraenkel axioms

The Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms (ZF) are the standard axiom system of set theory, formulated in first-order logic. They allow the usual mathematics to be built from the primitive notions of set and membership (\( \in \)).

\[\forall x\,\forall y\,(\forall z\,(z\in x \leftrightarrow z\in y)\rightarrow x=y)\]
