Theorem
Let $I$ and $J$ be indexing sets.
Let $\family {A_i}_{i \mathop \in I}$ and $\family {B_j}_{j \mathop \in J}$ be families of sets indexed by $I$ and $J$ respectively.
Then:
- $\ds \paren {\bigcup_{i \mathop \in I} A_i} \times \paren {\bigcup_{j \mathop \in J} B_j} = \bigcup_{\tuple {i, j} \mathop \in I \times J} \paren {A_i \times B_j}$
where:
- $\ds \bigcup_{i \mathop \in I} A_i$ denotes the union of $\family {A_i}_{i \mathop \in I}$ and so on
- $\times$ denotes Cartesian product.
