Relations and Functions Class 11 Notes Maths Chapter 2 - Learn CBSE
Ordered Pair
An ordered pair consists of two objects or
elements in a given fixed order.
Note:
A×B≠B×A
If n(A) = m and n(B) = n, then n(A × B) = mn
and n(B × A) = mn
If atieast one of A and B is infinite, then (A ×
B) is infinite and (B × A) is infinite.
Relations
A relation R from a non-empty set A to a non-
empty set B is a subset of the cartesian product
set A × B. The subset is derived by describing a
relationship between the first element and the
second element of the ordered pairs in A × B.
The set of all first elements in a relation R is
called the domain of the relation B, and the set
of all second elements called images is called
the range of R.
Note:
Inverse of Relation
For any two non-empty sets A and B. Let R be a
relation from a set A to a set B. Then, the inverse
of relation R, denoted by R-1 is a relation from B
to A and it is defined by
R-1 ={(b, a) : (a, b) ∈ R}
Domain of R = Range of R-1 and
Range of R = Domain of R-1.
Functions
A relation f from a set A to set B is said to be
function, if every element of set A has one and
only image in set B.
In other words, a function f is a relation such that
no two pairs in the relation have the first
element.
Real-Valued Function
A function f : A → B is called a real-valued
function if B is a subset of R (set of all real
numbers). If A and B both are subsets of R, then
f is called a real function.
