RELATIONS AND FUNCTIONS

Synopsis
Ordered Pair:
An ordered pair of 2 elements a and b is denoted as where a is the 1st element and b is the 2nd
element.
Note: Ordered pairs (a,b) and (c,d) are said to be equal if

Cross Product: If A and B are non-empty sets then the cross product is defined and denoted as

Ex:
Note: If number of elements in set A is and number of elements in set B is then the number of
elements in is .

Note:
i. |
ii. If then
iii. If then number of subsets of A X B
iv. need not be equal to B X A

Cross Product or Cartesian product of three sets:

Let A, B and C be any three non empty sets then, cross product is defined and denoted as
| where is an ordered triplet.
Relations
1. Definition:- Given any two non empty sets A and B a relation R from A to B is defined as sub
set of i.e. |
2. Empty Relation: and R be the relation from A to B if then R is called empty
relation
3. Universal Relation :- and R be the relation from A to B if then R is called
universal relation
4. Domain and Range of a relation: Let be a relation from a set to a set . Then the set of all
first components or coordinates of the ordered pairs belonging to is called domain of R and
while the set of all second components or coordinates of the ordered pairs belonging to is called
range of R.
Thus Domain of and Range of
5. Inverse Relation: The inverse of the relation is
6. Types of Relation
1) Reflexive relation:- A relation R on set A is said to be reflexive if for all
Example:- 1) Let then is reflexive
2) Let then is not reflexive relation
2) Identity relation:- A relation R on set A is said to be identity if for all and

Example:- 1) Let then is Identity relation

Note: Every Identity relation is a reflexive relation.
3) Symmetric relation:- A relation R on set A is said to be symmetric if
Example:- 1) Let then is symmetric
2) Let then is not symmetric
3) Let then is symmetric relation

5) Transitive relation:- A relation R on set A is said to be transitive if and

Example:- 1) Let then is transitive relation

2) Let then is transitive relation
3) Let then is not transitive
6) Equivalence relation:- A relation R on set A is said to be equivalence if R is reflexive,
symmetric and transitive.

Note: Inverse of an equivalence relation is an equivalence relation.
7. Equivalence classes of an equivalence relation: Let be equivalence relation on a non-empty
set . Let . Then the equivalence class of denoted by [ ] ̅ is defined as the set of all
points of A which are related to under the relation . Thus [ ]
8. Point to be remembered :

a) Total number of relations possible from a set of ‘m’ elements to a set of ‘n’ elements
is 2mn
If a set A consists of „m „ elements and set B consists of „n‟ elements and the relation R is
from A to B, then the total number of relations possible from A to B is 2 .
b) Number of Relations from A to A if A has ‘n’ elements:
c) Number of Reflexive Relations possible in a set A which has ‘n’ elements:

d) Number if symmetric Relations possible in a set A which has ‘n’ elements :

e) Number if Transitive Relations
possible in a set A which n=1 , 2 f) Number if Transitive Relations

FUNCTIONS

9. Definition:- Given two non empty sets A and B a function (read it as from A to B) is a
rule which associates every element of the set A with a unique element of B
10. Note: If be two non empty finite sets having elements respectively then the total
number of function from to is
11. Note:- If the element is associated to be the elements under the function of mapping
then we write the element is called image of the element & the element is called
pre-image of
12. Domain, Co-Domain and Range of the function:- In a function , the set A is called
Domain, the set B is called co-domain and the set of all images is called range of
Different types of functions:-
1) Into function:- A function is said to be into function if some element of
𝑓
co-domain are not a images. i.e. the range of is Proper
1 a
subset of co-domain B. In the diagram the function is 2 b
an into function. Because the range is the proper subset 3 c
of B 4 d
2) Onto (Surjective)Function:- A function is said to be onto
𝑓
function if all the elements of co-domain are images. i.e. A Into B
1 a
2 b
In the diagram the function is an onto function. 3 c
Because all the elements of B are images. 4
i.e.
Note: If is onto function then A Onto B
Algorithm to check the Surjective and into of a function
Step 1: Solve f(x)= y by taking x as a function of y i.e g(y) (say).

CHOLA’S SATHISH KUMAR +91 8217543655 2

 Relations And Functions
Step 2: Now if g(y) is defined for each y € co-domain and g(y) € domain for
y € co-domain, then f(x) is onto and if any one of the above requirements is not fulfilled,
then f(x)is into.
OR
Co-domain of f = Range of f is onto function.

3) One –One(injective) function:- A function is said to be one-one 𝑓

function if different elements of domain have different images. 1 a
i.e. or 2 b
3 c
d
In the diagram the function is an one-one Function .Because
different elements of A have different images in B.
A One-One B
Note: If is one-one function then
Algorithm to check the Injective of a function
Step 1: Take any two arbitrary elements x,y (say) in the domain of f.
Step 2: Put f(x)=f(y)
Step 3: Solve f(x)=f(y). if it gives x=y only, then f is a Injective function
OR If function is given in the form of ordered pairs and if two ordered pairs do not have
same second element the function is one- one.
OR If the graph of the function y=f(x) is given and each line parallel to x axis cuts the given
curve at maximum one point then function is one-one.

4) Many One Function:- A function is said to be Many-one function if 𝑓

2 or more elements of domain associates with one element of co-
1 a
domain 2 b
In the diagram the function is an many-one 3 c
4 d
Function. Because „1‟ and „2‟ of domain associates with „a‟ of co-
domain and „3‟ and „4‟ of domain associates with „c‟ of co-domain
A B
Many one
5) Bijective (one-one and onto):- A function is said to be Bijective
function if it is both one-one and onto. In the diagram the function
𝑓
is Bijective function. Because is both one-one and 1 a
onto 2 b
3 c
Note: if is bijective function then
4 d
6) Real value function:- A function is said to be real value function if
its domain and range are subsets of the set of real numbers A B
Bijective
13. Inverse of a element:- Let and now a
function is defined by Now 1,2 are called inverse
element of „a‟ in symbol it is written as
7) Inverse function :- The inverse of the function exists if and only if the function is Bijective (one-
one and onto) i.e. If is a Bijective function, then and then inverse function i.e.
exist
8) Let f : 𝑨 → 𝑩 ; Number of elements in the domain set A = m and the number of elements inthe
co-domain set B = n

40. The function f : N  N when N is the set of natural numbers defined by f (x) = 3x + 4 is
(A) subjective (B) injective (C) both a and b (D) neither a nor b
Ans (B)
f (x) = 3x + 4
Let f (x1) = f (x2)  3x1 + 4 = 3x2 + 4  x1 = x2  injective

Let y = 3x + 4  x 

If y = 5 then x   N

Hence 5  N has no pre – image in N so f is not surjective
41. Function f : R  R defined by f (x) = x2 + x is
(A) one – one, onto (B) one – one, into (C) many – one, onto (D) many – one, into
Ans (D)
f (x) = x2 + x
Let x = 4 ; f (4) = 20; f (–5) = 20  f(4) = f(–5) = 20 but 4  – 5
Thus f is many – one
42. Which one of the following is the bijective function on the set of real numbers
(A) 2x – 5 (B) [x] (C) x2 (D) x2 + 1
(E) x4 – x2 + 1
Ans (A)
43. Let the function f : R R be defined by f (x) = 2x + sin x for x  R then ' f'
(A) one – one and onto (B) one – one but not onto
(C) onto but not one – one (D) neither one – one nor
onto
Ans (A)
We have f (x) = 2x + sin x
Clearly,
y = 2x is both one – one and onto
y = sin x is an onto function.
We shall shown that f (x) is both one – one and onto
For x1, x2  R and x1  x2  2x1  2x2
Now f (x1) = 2x1 + sinx1 ; f(x2) = 2x2 + sin x2
Since 2x1  2x2 ; f (x1)  f (x2) even if sinx1 = sin x2 ; x1  x2
f (x) is one – one and also onto
