Example of Subset Product
Let $\struct {\R, \times}$ be the multiplicative group of (non-zero) real numbers.
Let $S = \set 3$.
Let $T = \set {-1, 2}$.
Then the subset product $S T$ is:
- $ST = \set {-3, 6}$
Proof
Taking each ordered pair $\tuple {s, t}$ from $S \times T$:
\(\ds 3 \times -1\) | \(=\) | \(\ds -3\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds 3 \times 2\) | \(=\) | \(\ds 6\) |
$\blacksquare$
