RELATION

A

We can represent this information as a set of ordered pairs.
An age of 10 years would correspond to a weight of 31 kg. An age of 16 years would correspond to a weight of 53 kg and so on.
This type of information represents a relation between two sets of data. This in formation could then be represented as a set of ordered pairs.

Age (years)	Weight (kg)
10	31
12	36
14	48
16	53
18	65

Consider the relationship between the weight of five students and their ages as shown below.
The set of all first elements of the ordered pair is called the domain of the relation and is referred to as the independent variable. The set of all second elements is called the range and is referred to as the dependent variable.
For the above example,

RELATION

A

A relation is any subset of the Cartesian plane and can be represented by a set of ordered pairs .
Relation
A relation is a correspondence between a first set, called the domain, and a second set, called the range, such that each member of the domain corresponds to at least one member of the range.

FUNCTIONS

B

• Functions are special relations.
• Every set of ordered pairs is a relation, but every relation is not a function
• Functions make up a subset of all relations.
• A function is defined as a relation that is either one to one or many to one., i.e. no ordered pairs have the same first element.

TYPES OF FUNCTIONS

B

Surjective
A surjective function is a function whose image is equal to its codomain. Equivalently, a function with domain and codomain is surjective if for every in there exists at least one in with
Injective
A function is injective if and only if for all and in , if , then ; that is, implies . Equivalently, if , then .
Bijective
A function is bijective (one-to-one and onto or one-to-one correspondence) if every element of the codomain is mapped to by exactly one element of the domain. (That is, the function is both injective and surjective.)

NATURAL DOMAIN

C

Every relation has a domain, the set of (input) values over which it is defined. If the domain is not stated, by convention we take the domain to be the largest set of (real) numbers for which the expression defining the function can be evaluated.
We call this the "natural domain" of the function.
