If a ∈ {-1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and b ∈ {0, 3, 6}, Write Ordered Pairs (a, b) Such That a + b = 5

If \(a \in \{-1,2,3,4,5\}\) and \(b \in \{0,3,6\}\), Write the Set of All Ordered Pairs \((a,b)\) Such That \(a+b=5\)

Question

If \[ a \in \{-1,2,3,4,5\} \] and \[ b \in \{0,3,6\}, \] write the set of all ordered pairs \((a,b)\) such that \[ a+b=5. \]

Solution

Given:

\[ A=\{-1,2,3,4,5\} \]

\[ B=\{0,3,6\} \]

We find the ordered pairs satisfying:

\[ a+b=5 \]

For \(a=-1\),

\[ -1+b=5 \]

\[ b=6 \]

So, ordered pair is:

\[ (-1,6) \]


For \(a=2\),

\[ 2+b=5 \]

\[ b=3 \]

So, ordered pair is:

\[ (2,3) \]


For \(a=3\),

\[ 3+b=5 \]

\[ b=2 \]

But \(2 \notin B\), so no ordered pair.


For \(a=4\),

\[ 4+b=5 \]

\[ b=1 \]

But \(1 \notin B\), so no ordered pair.


For \(a=5\),

\[ 5+b=5 \]

\[ b=0 \]

So, ordered pair is:

\[ (5,0) \]

Therefore,

\[ \boxed{\{(-1,6),\ (2,3),\ (5,0)\}} \]
