Study Notes
Cartesian Product of Sets
- The Cartesian product creates pairs of elements from two sets.
- Example:
- For sets {1, 2} and {-3}, the Cartesian product is {(1, -3), (2, -3)}.
- In the interval [1, 2] x [2, 4], all combinations of points between the two intervals are included.
- For [-3, 5] x [-2, 2), all combinations of values between these ranges form the product.
Relationships
- Relationships are connections between entities, applicable in various fields like mathematics, computing, and everyday life.
- Examples of relations: logical equivalences, subset relations, family relationships.
- Relations can be classified based on the number of connecting objects (binary, ternary, etc.).
Equivalence Relations
- A relation B is an equivalence relation if it is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
- Example: For A = {1, 4, 5} and B = {1, 2, 3, 6}, if B is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive, it confirms equivalence.
- Reflexive: every element relates to itself.
- Symmetric: if (x, y) is in B, then (y, x) must also be in B.
- Transitive: if (x, y) and (y, z) are in B, then (x, z) must also be in B.
Order Relations
- A relation B is an order relation if it is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive.
- Example: For A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, the relation B = {(x, y) | x ≤ y} is reflexive and antisymmetric, but not transitive.
Functions
- A relation f is a function if:
- For every x in A, there is a unique y in B such that (x, y) is in f.
- Geometrically, a vertical line in the graph intersects the curve at most once to qualify as a function.
Inverse Relations
- The inverse of a relation R is defined as R⁻¹ = {(y, x) | (x, y) in R}.
- Example: If R = {(3, 2), (1, 1)}, the inverse relation R⁻¹ = {(2, 3), (1, 1)}.
Properties of Relations
- To determine if a relation is reflexive:
- Check if (x, x) is in the relation for all x in the set.
- Examples:
- B1 = {(1,1), (2,2), (3,3)} is reflexive.
- B2 = {(1,2), (2,2), (3,3)} is not reflexive because (1,1) is missing.
- Relations involving lines and geometric figures can also be analyzed for reflexivity based on their properties in geometry.
