Important Points to Remember in Chapter -1 - Relations and Functions from NCERT MATHEMATICS PART I Textbook for Class XII Solutions
An ordered pair consists of two objects or elements in a given fixed order.
2. Equality of Two Ordered Pairs:
and
3. Cartesian Product of Two or Three Sets:
(i) If and are two non-empty sets, then is called the Cartesian product of and
(ii) If and are finite sets having and elements respectively, then has elements.
(iii) is the set of all points in -plane.
(iv) is the set of all points in three-dimensional space.
4. Some Properties of Cartesian Product:
For any three sets we have
(i) Distributive property over set union:
(ii) Distributive property over set intersection:
(iii) Distributive property over set difference:
(iv)
(v)
(vi)
(vii)

5. Relation:
Let and be two sets. A relation from to is a subset of
6. Number Of Relations:
If and are finite sets having and elements respectively. Then, relations can be defined from to
7. Domain and Range Of a Relation:
If is a relation from set to set then Domain Range
8. A relation from a set to itself is called a relation on
9. Inverse of Relation:
Let be two sets and let be a relation from set to set Then the inverse of denoted by is a relation from to and is defined by .
Clearly,
Domain Range , and Range Domain
10. Functions:
Let and be two non-empty sets. Then a relation from to is a function, if
(i) For each there exists such that
(ii) and .
In other words, is a function from to if each element of appears in some ordered pair in and no two ordered pairs in have the same first element.
If then is called the image of under .
(iii) A function from a set to a set is a rule associating elements of set to elements of set such that every element in set is associated to a unique element in set .
Here the set is called the domain of and the set is called its co-domain.
(iv) The range of a function is the set of images of elements in the domain.
11. Real-Valued Function:
A real function has the domain and co-domain both as subsets of set .
12. Algebra of Real Functions:
If and are two real functions and then
(i) Addition or Subtraction of Real Functions:
is defined as
(ii) Multiplication of Real Functions:
is defined as
(iii) Quotient of Real Functions:
is defined as
(iv) Multiplication by a scalar:
is defined as
