If a ∈ [−1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and b ∈ [0, 3, 6],

Question:

If a ∈ [−1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and b ∈ [0, 3, 6], write the set of all ordered pairs (ab) such that a + b = 5.

Solution:

Given:

a ∈ [−1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and b ∈ [0, 3, 6]

We know:

−1 + 6 = 5, 2 + 3 = 5 and 5 + 0 = 5

Thus, possible ordered pairs (ab) are {(−1, 6), (2, 3), (5, 0)} such that a + b = 5.
