Relations and Functions class12


The main features of this chapter are as follows:

Empty relation

Universal relation

Reflexive relation

Symmetric relation

Transitive relation

Equivalence relation

A function f : X → Y is one-one (or injective) if f (x1) = f(x2) x1 = x2  x1, x2  X.

A function f : X → Y is onto (or surjective) if given any y Y, x X such that f(x) = y.

A function f : X → Y is one-one and onto (or bijective), if f is both one-one and onto.

A function f : X → Y is invertible if and only if f is one-one and onto.
