In summary: So for each ordered pair, we have 2 choices. Therefore, the total number of binary relations from A to B is 2^(|AxB|) = 2^(3x5) = 32768.In summary, there are 32768 binary relations from A to B, where A = {a,b,c} and B = {0,1,2,3,4}. This can be calculated by finding the total number of ordered pairs in AxB and multiplying it by 2, as each ordered pair can either be in the relation or not. Therefore, the total number of binary relations is 2^(3x5) = 32768.

Homework Statement



True or False: Given that A = {a,b,c} and B={0,1,2,3,4}, there are 32768 binary relations from A to B

I assume there is some simple way to tell how many relations there are given two different sets, but I don't know it. Factorials? Powers? I'm not sure what.

A "binary relation from A to B" is formally a subset of [itex]A \times B[/itex], so the number of such relations is the number of subsets of [itex]A \times B[/itex].

Try and work it out. How many total ordered pairs are there in AxB? Now each ordered pair can either be in the relation or not.
