BETWEEN SETS
Objectives
• you will be able to define;relation and function between
sets,image and inverse image,domain and range of a
relation/function,and equivalence relations,order
relations, strict order relations,and partitions
• you can answer the examples and site examples;and
• you can gain knowledge and realizations from the given
topics.
Relation
It is a subset of the Cartesian product. Or simply, a bunch
of points (ordered pairs). In other words, the relation
between the two sets is defined as the collection of the
ordered pair, in which the ordered pair is formed by the
object from each set.
Example: {(-2, 1), (4, 3), (7, -3)}, usually written in set
notation form with curly brackets.
Relation Representation
There are other ways too to write the relation, apart from set
notation such as through tables, plotting it on XY- axis or through
mapping diagram.
Function
special kind of relation (a set of ordered pairs),
Is a relation which describes that there should be
only one output for each input (or) we can say
that a which follows a rule i.e., every X-value
should be associated with only one y-value is
called a function.
TYPES OF
RELATION
DIFFERENT TYPES OF RELATION AS
FOLLOWS:
Empty relation
When there’s no element of set X is related or mapped to
any element of X, then the relation R in A is an empty
relation, and also called the void relation, i.e R= ∅.
For Example,
If you throw two dice if R = {(1, 2) (2, 3)}, R1= {(2,
1) (3, 2)}. Here the domain is the range R1
and vice versa.
Reflexive Relation
Domain: 5 1 3
Range: 10 20 22
