Homework Statement



if A ={a}, B={b,c}, C={d,e,f,g,h,i,j}

Find P(A*B)
and |P(B*C)|



Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



so for the first one I had

[{(a,b)}, {(a,c)}, {(a,b),(a,c)}, ∅]

and secondly 2^14.

is this right I don't know what is meant by the use of this |..| around a power set?

Sets have union and intersection operations. What is the definition of A "times" B?

Its a Cartesian product
 
Ok, now that I understand your notation your answers look fine. The absolute value signs around a set just means how many elements it contains. So your ##2^{14}## is correct.
