2. The two ordered pairs (a, b) and (c, d) are said to be equal if and only if a = c and b = d.
3. Let A and B be any two non-empty sets. The Cartesian product A × B is the set of all
ordered pairs ofelements of sets from A and B defined as follows:
A × B = {(a, b) : a A, b B}.
Cartesian product of two sets is also known as the product set.
4. If any of the sets of A or B or both are empty, then the set A × B will also be empty and
consequently, n(A × B) = 0.
5. If the number of elements in A is m and the number of elements in set B is n, then the
set A × B willhave mn elements.
7. Cartesian product of sets can be extended to three or more sets. If A, B and C are three
non-empty sets, then A × B × C = {(a, b, c): a A, bB, cC}. Here (a, b, c) is known as an
ordered triplet.
8. Cartesian product of a non-empty set A with an empty set is an empty set, i.e. A × Φ = Φ.
9. The Cartesian product is not commutative, namely A × B is not the same as B × A, unless A
and B are equal.
11. R × R = {(a, b) : a R, b R} represents the coordinates of all points in two-dimensional
plane. R × R × R = {(a, b, c): a R, b R, c C} represents the coordinates of all points in
three-dimensional plane.
12. A relation R from the non-empty set A to another non-empty set B is a subset of their
Cartesianproduct A × B, i.e. R A × B.

15. The second element b in the ordered pair (a, b) is the image of first element a and a is the
pre-image of b.
16. The Domain of R is the set of all first elements of the ordered pairs in a relation R. In
other words,domain is the set of all the inputs of the relation.
17. If the relation R is from a non-empty set A to non-empty set B, then set B is called the co-
domain ofrelation R.
18. The set of all the images or the second element in the ordered pair (a, b) of relation R is
called the Range of R.
19. The total number of relations that can be defined from a set A to a set B is the number
is possiblesubsets of A × B.
20. A × B can have 2mn subsets. This means there are 2mn relations from A to B
21. Relation can be represented algebraically and graphically. The various methods are as
follows
23. The domain of f is the set A. No two distinct ordered pairs in f have the same first element.
25. If f is a function from A to B and (a, b) f, then f (a) = b, where b is called image of a under
f and a iscalled the pre-image of b under f.

30. Graph of the identity function is a straight line that makes an angle of 45° with both X-
and Y–axis,respectively. All points on this line have their x and y coordinates equal.
31. Constant function: A constant function is one that maps each element of the domain to
a constant. Domain of this function is R and range is the singleton set {c}, where c is a
constant.

32. Graph of the constant function is a line parallel to the X-axis. The graph lies above X-
axis if the constant c > 0, below the X-axis if the constant c < 0 and is the same as X-
axis if c = 0.
34. A linear polynomial represents a straight line, while a quadratic polynomial represents a
parabola.
f(x)
35. Functions of the form , where f(x) and g(x) 0 are polynomial functions, are called
g(x)
rational functions.
36. Domain of rational functions does not include those points where g(x) = 0. For example, the
