Relations and Functions – Quick Revision Notes

1. Cartesian Product of Sets


- If A = {a₁, a₂}, B = {b₁, b₂}, then A × B = {(a₁,b₁), (a₁,b₂), (a₂,b₁), (a₂,b₂)}
- Number of elements in A × B = |A| × |B|

2. Relation
- A relation from set A to B is a subset of A × B
- Types of relations on a set A:

Property Definition Example

Reflexive (a,a) ∈ R ∀ a ∈ A {(1,1), (2,2)}

Symmetric (a,b) ∈ R ⇒ (b,a) ∈ R {(1,2), (2,1)}

Transitive (a,b),(b,c) ∈ R ⇒ (a,c) ∈ R {(1,2), (2,3), (1,3)}

Equivalence Reflexive + Symmetric +


Transitive

3. Function (Mapping)
- A function is a relation where each input has only one output.
- Notation: f: A → B
Domain = inputs, Codomain = B, Range = actual outputs

4. Types of Functions
Type Condition Example

One-One (Injective) f(x₁) = f(x₂) ⇒ x₁ = x₂ f(x) = 2x

Onto (Surjective) Every element of codomain f(x) = x³


has a pre-image

Bijective Both one-one and onto Invertible

5. Inverse of a Function
- Only bijective functions have an inverse.
Steps to find f⁻¹(x):
1. Let y = f(x)
2. Solve for x in terms of y
3. Interchange x and y
4. Replace y with f⁻¹(x)

6. Identity and Constant Functions


- Identity Function: f(x) = x
- Constant Function: f(x) = c (same output for all x)

7. Modulus and Greatest Integer Functions


- f(x) = |x|: Always non-negative
- f(x) = [x]: Greatest integer ≤ x
e.g., [3.7] = 3, [-2.3] = -3

8. Graph Tips
- f(x) = x → Straight line (45°)
- f(x) = x² → Parabola upward
- f(x) = |x| → V-shaped
- f(x) = 1/x → Hyperbola

9. Domain and Range – Quick Tricks


Function Domain Range

x² ℝ [0, ∞)

√x [0, ∞) [0, ∞)

1/x ℝ \ {0} ℝ \ {0}

Tips for Compartment Exam:


- Practice proving one-one, onto, inverse
- Memorize definitions of relation types
- Draw graphs of basic functions
- Attempt past year questions
