Ordered pair

A pair having an order is called ordered pair

Consider (a,b). a is called first component and b is called second component.

If  (a,b) = (c,d), the a = c and b = d

Eg : If (2x-3, 3y+1) = (5,7), find x and y

Ans:

Equating the first component

 2x-3 = 5

2x = 5 + 3 = 8

x = 8/2 = 4

equating the second component

3y+1 = 7

3y = 7-1 = 6

y = 6/3 = 2

Q. A × B is the set of all ordered pairs in which first element is from A and second element from B

1.  Let A = {1,2,3} and B = {4,5}, write A×B and B×A?

Ans:

A×B = {(1,4),(1,5),(2,4),(2,5),(3,4),(3,5)}

B×A = {(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(5,1),(5,2),(5,3)}

Note :  If A = or B = ⌽-, then A×B =

n(A×B) = n(A).n(B)

n(A ) = 3, n(B) = 2

n(A×B) = 3×2 = 6

n(A×A) = n(A). n(A) = 3×3= 9

n(A×A×A) = n(A). n(A) .n(A)= 3×3×3= 27

Q. A = {-1,0}. Find A×A×A 

Ans :

A×A = {-1,0}×{-1,0} = {(-1,-1), (-1,0), (0,-1), (0,0)}

A×A×A = {(-1,-1), (-1,0), (0,-1), (0,0)} ×{-1,0}

     = {(-1,-1,-1), (-1,0,-1), (0,-1,-1), (0,0,-1), (-1,-1,1),

Q.   A = {1,2,3,…14}. R is a relation on A defined by R = {(x,y) : 3x-y = 0}. Write R in roster form. Also write its domain, co domain and range?

      Ans :

3x-y = 0

Put x = 1

3×1 – y = 0

3 – y = 0

Y = 3

Put x = 2, we get y = 6

Put x = 3, we get y = 9

Put x = 4, we get y = 12

Put x = 5, we get y = 15

R = {(1,3),(2,6),(3,9),(4,12)}

Domain = {1,2,3,4}

Range = {3,6,9,12}

Co domain = A


 Q. Let A = {x,y,z}, B = {1,2} find the number of relations from A to B?

Ans:

R = {(x,y) : the difference between x and y is odd}. Write R in roster form. Also write its domain, co domain and range?

Ans :

A×B = {(1,4), (1,6), (1,9), (2,4), (2,6), (2,9), (3,4),(3,6), (3,9)}

R = {(1,4), (1,6), (2,9), (3,4), (3,6)}

Functions

1. A relation from A to B is called a function if every element of A is related to unique element of B

2. Functions are generally denoted by f,g,h…

3.  F(x) = y means y is the image of x or x is the pre image of y

4.  Consider f :  A B . A is called domain and B is called co domain

5.  The set of elements in the co domain which have pre image is called range. Range is a subset of co domain

6. Number of relations from A to B is

7. If every horizontal line meets a graph only at a point, the graph represents a function. 
 

Fig 1 represents a function since every element in A has unique image in B

Fig 2 is not a function since 2 has more than one image and 3 has no image

Q. Find the domain and range of f(x) =

x2 – 5x + 6 = 0

a =1, b = -5, c = 6

Domain = R – {2,3}

Q. Find the domain and range of f(x) = 

x – 1 = 0
x = 1
Domain = R – {1}
f(x) = y

x+1 = y(x-1)
x+1 = xy – y
x-xy = -y -1
x(1-y) = -y-1
x = 
1-y = 0 ,  y = 1

Range = R – {1}
