Important Points to Remember in Chapter -1 - Relations and Functions from NCERT MATHEMATICS PART I Textbook for Class XII Solutions

1. Ordered Pair:

An ordered pair consists of two objects or elements in a given fixed order.

2. Equality of Two Ordered Pairs:

a1,b1=a2,b2a1=a2 and b1=b2

3. Cartesian Product of Two or Three Sets:

(i) If A and B are two non-empty sets, then A×B=a,b:aA,bB is called the Cartesian product of A and B.

(ii) If A and B are finite sets having m and n elements respectively, then A×B has mn elements.

(iii) R×R=x,y:x,yR is the set of all points in XY-plane.

(iv) R×R×R=x,y,z:x,y,zR is the set of all points in three-dimensional space.

4. Some Properties of Cartesian Product:

For any three sets A,B,C we have

(i) Distributive property over set union:

A×BC=A×BA×C

(ii) Distributive property over set intersection:

A×BC=A×BA×C

(iii) Distributive property over set difference:

A×BC=A×BA×C

(iv) A×B=B×AA=B

(v) A×BB×A=AB×BA

(vi) A×B'C''=A×BA×C

(vii) A×B'C''=A×BA×C

(viii) A×B=A×CB=C

5. Relation:

Let A and B be two sets. A relation from A to B is a subset of A×B.

6. Number Of Relations:

If A and B are finite sets having m and n elements respectively. Then, 2mn relations can be defined from A to B.

7. Domain and Range Of a Relation:

If R is a relation from set A to set B, then Domain R=x:x,yR, Range R=y:x,yR

8. A relation from a set A to itself is called a relation on A.

9. Inverse of Relation:

Let A,B be two sets and let R be a relation from set A to set B. Then the inverse of R, denoted by R-1 is a relation from B to A and is defined by R1=b,a:a,bR.

Clearly, a,bRb,aR1

Domain R= Range R-1, and Range R= Domain R-1

10. Functions:

Let A and B be two non-empty sets. Then a relation f from A to B is a function, if

(i) For each aA there exists bB such that a,bf

(ii) a,bf and a,cfb=c.

In other words, f is a function from A to B if each element of A appears in some ordered pair in f and no two ordered pairs in f have the same first element.

If a,bf, then b is called the image of a under f.

(iii) A function f from a set A to a set B is a rule associating elements of set A to elements of set B such that every element in set A is associated to a unique element in set B.

Here the set A is called the domain of f and the set B is called its co-domain.

(iv) The range of a function f 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 R.

12. Algebra of Real Functions:

If f:D1R and g:D2R are two real functions and cR, then

(i) Addition or Subtraction of Real Functions:

f±g:D1D2R is defined as f±gx=fx±gx

(ii) Multiplication of Real Functions:

fg:D1D2R is defined as fgx=fxgx

(iii) Quotient of Real Functions:

fg:D1D2x:gx=0R is defined as fg x  =  f(x)g (x)

(iv) Multiplication by a scalar:

cf:D1R is defined as cfx=cfx.
