Chapter 1 – Relations and Functions
Relation
● It defines relationship between two set of values let say from set A to
set B.
● Set A is then called domain and set B is then called codomain.
● If a, b R , it shows that a is related to b under the relation R
Types of Relations
1. Empty Relation:
● In this there is no relation between any element of a set.
● It is also known as void relation
● For example: if set A is 2, 4, 6 then an empty relation can be R x, y
where x y 11
2. Universal Relation:
● In this each element of a set is related to every element of that set.
● For example: if set A is 2, 4, 6 then a universal relation can be
R x, y where x y 0
4. Reflexive Relation:
● In this each element of set (say) A is related to itself i.e., a relation R in
set A is called reflexive if a,a R for every a A .
● For example: if Set A 1, 2,3 then relation
R 1,1,1, 2 , 2, 2,2,1,3,3 is reflexive since each element of set
A is related to itself.
6. Transitive Relation:
● A relation R in set A is called transitive if a, b R and b,c R
then a, c also belongs to R for every a,b,cA .
● For example: if Set A 1, 2,3 then relation
R 1, 2,2,3,1,32,3,3, 2 , 2, 2 is transitive.
7. Equivalence Relation:
● A relation R on a set A is equivalence if R is reflexive, symmetric and
transitive.
● For example: R L1,L 2 :line L1 is parallel line L 2 ,
This relation is reflexive because every line is parallel to itself
Symmetric because if L1 parallel to L2 then L2 is also parallel to L1
Transitive because if L1 parallel to L2 and L2 parallel to L3 then L1
is also parallel to L3
Functions
● A function f from a set A to a set B is a rule which associates each
element of set A to a unique element of set B.
Types of Function:
1. One-One Function:
● A function f from set A to set B is called one-one function if no two
distinct elements of A have the same image in B.
● Mathematically, a function f from set A to set B if f x f y implies
that x y for all x, yA.
● One-one function is also called an injective function.
● For example: If a function f from a set of real number to a set of real
number, then f x 2x is a one-one function.
2. Onto Function:
● A function f from set A to set B is called onto function if each element
of set B has a preimage in set A or range of function f is equal to the
codomain i.e., set B.
● Onto function is also called surjective function.
● For example: If a function f from a set of natural number to a set of n
Natural number, then f x x 1 is onto function.
3. Bijective Function:
● A function f from set A to set B is called bijective function if it is both
one-one function and onto function.
● For example: If a function f from a set of real number to a set of real
number, then f x 2x is one-one function and onto function.
Binary Operations
● A binary operation are mathematical operations such as addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division performed between two
operands.
● A binary operation on a set A is defined as operations performed between
two elements of set A and the result also belongs to set A. Then set A is
called binary composition.
● It is denoted by *
● For example: Binary addition of real numbers is a binary composition
● since on adding two real number the result will always a real number.
