Hi, I have a few questions because I'm watching a lecture on real analysis & I'm a little bit unsure of a few things. I have them in point form for your convenience in answering.

1.
A & B are sets & AxB is the set "product" definition
AxB = {(a,b) : aεA & bεB}
which is a way of talking about an ordered pair, say on the Cartesian plane.
Is that correct so far?
I am wondering what it means to say "binary"? Does this refer to the fact that AxB results in two elements a & b?
2.Also, everytime AxA is specified in a book or somewhere, does that refer to an "ordered pair" i.e. RxR is a way to tell you that you are using an ordered pair e.g. (2,3) in the plane?
3.This tells you that you are taking the "set-product" of two subsets to ensure the legality of using an ordered pair?
4. [tex] R^3[/tex] This is the Euclidian 3-dimensional space, whenever an author mentions this does the author mean to specify that we are taking some sort of a "set-product", like an ordered triple?

(from 2.30 in the video - no need to watch)A (binary) relation R is a subset of AxB.
If (a,b) ε R then aRb

AxB = {(a,b) : aεA & bεB}
