1. RELATION AND FUNCTIONS Definitions and formula : 1. A relation R in set A is said to be reflexive, if (a, a) Є R V a Є A 2. A relation R in set A is said to be symmetric if (a, b) Є R => (b, a) Є R, a, b Є A 3. A relation R in set A is said to be transitive if (a, b) Є R & (b, c) Є R => (a, c) Є R for a, b, c Є A 4. A relation R in set A is said to be equivalence relation if relation R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive. 5. One – One function : A function f : A B is said to be one – one (or injective), if for every a, b Є A, a ≠ b => f (a) ≠ f (b) or we can also say that f (a) = f (b) => a = b. 6. Onto function : A function f : A B is said to be onto function (or surjective), if for every b Є B, there exist an element a Є A such that f (a) = b. 7. Composition of function : Let f : A B and g : B C be two given functions. Then composition of function ‘f’ and ‘g’ is a function from A to C and is denoted gof. We have (gof)(x) = g (f(x)) V x Є A. 8. A function f : A B is said to be invertible, if there exists a function g : B A such that gof = IA and fog = IB. The function ‘g’ is called the inverse of function ‘f’ and is denoted by f–1. 9. If f : A B, g : B C and h : C D are the given functions, then ho (gof) = (hog) of . 10. If f : A B and g : B C be two invertible functions then gof is also invertible and (gof)–1 = f–1og–1. 11. Binary operation : A binary operation * on set A is a function * : A x A A and is denoted by a * b 12. A binary operation * on set A is said to be commutative if for all a, b Є A, a * b = b * a. 13. A binary operation * on set A is said to be associative if for all a, b, c Є A, (a * b) * c = a * (b * c) 14. Given a binary operation * : A x A A, an element e Є A, if exist is called identity element for binary operation *, if a * e = e * a = a V a Є A 15. Given a binary operation * : A x A A with identity element e Є A. An element a Є A is said to be invertible with respect to the binary operation *, if there exist an element b Є A such that a * b = e and b * a = e, b Є A is called inverse of a Є A and is denoted by a–1.
