Topics in Relations And Functions

1

Cartesian Product of Sets

  • Cartesian product X × Y is the set of all ordered pairs (x,y) where x ∈ X and y ∈ Y
  • If n(X) = p and n(Y) = q, then n(X × Y) = pq
  • Order matters in Cartesian products: X × Y ≠ Y × X (unless X = Y)
2

Relations

  • A relation R from X to Y is any subset of X × Y
  • Domain of R = set of all first elements in ordered pairs of R
  • Range of R = set of all second elements in ordered pairs of R
3

Functions

  • A function f: X → Y is a special relation where each element in X maps to exactly one element in Y
  • For functions: Domain = X, Co-domain = Y, Range ⊆ Y
  • Vertical Line Test: A graph represents a function if every vertical line intersects it at most once
4

Types of Functions

  • Identity Function: f(x) = x for all x in domain
  • Constant Function: f(x) = c for all x in domain
  • Polynomial Function: f(x) = a₀ + a₁x + a₂x² + ... + aₙxⁿ
