### Understanding Relations U and T

In the image provided, we are asked to express the relation \( T \circ U \) using ordered pair notation.

#### Diagram Explanation

1. **Relation U:**
    - This is depicted as a directed graph with three nodes labeled \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \).
    - There are directed arrows indicating the following pairs:
      - \( (a, b) \)
      - \( (b, c) \)
      - \( (c, a) \)

2. **Relation T:**
    - Similarly, this is another directed graph with nodes \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \).
    - The directed arrows for this relation are:
      - \( (a, c) \)
      - \( (b, a) \)
      - \( (c, b) \)

### Task

To express \( T \circ U \) (the composition of T and U), we need to determine all pairs \( (x, z) \) such that there is an intermediate element \( y \) where both \( (x, y) \) is in U and \( (y, z) \) is in T.

#### Steps to Find \( T \circ U \):

- Use the given pairs in U to find potential starting points.
- Check T for possible connections from these points to create new pairs.

#### Example:

- From U: \( (a, b) \)
- Check T for \( b \): \( (b, a) \)
- Resulting pair for \( T \circ U \): \( (a, a) \)

Continue similar steps for all combinations to form the full set of ordered pairs.

### Final Expression for \( T \circ U \)

\[ T \circ U = \{ (a, a), (b, b), (c, c) \} \]

This is derived by checking all possible transitions from U to T as described above. Remember, the key is finding intermediate \( y \) such that the transition from \( x \to y \to z \) holds true in the context of the graphs provided.
