Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the problem
We are given the number of elements in sets \( A \) and \( B \), which are \( n(A) = 44 \) and \( n(B) = 7 \), respectively. We need to find the number of elements in the Cartesian products \( A \times B \) and \( B \times A \).
Step 2: Recall the formula for the Cartesian product
The number of elements in the Cartesian product \( A \times B \) is given by:
\[
n(A \times B) = n(A) \times n(B)
\]
Similarly, the number of elements in \( B \times A \) is:
\[
n(B \times A) = n(B) \times n(A)
\]
Step 3: Calculate \( n(A \times B) \)
Using the formula:
\[
n(A \times B) = n(A) \times n(B) = 44 \times 7 = 308
\]
Step 4: Calculate \( n(B \times A) \)
Using the formula:
\[
n(B \times A) = n(B) \times n(A) = 7 \times 44 = 308
\]
Step 5: Verify the result
Since \( n(A \times B) = n(B \times A) \), the number of elements in both Cartesian products is the same, which is 308.
Final Answer
\[
n(A \times B) = \boxed{308}
\]
\[
n(B \times A) = \boxed{308}
\]
