    Study Notes

    Relations and Functions

    • A set of ordered pairs formed by elements from two non-empty sets is called the Cartesian product.
    • The number of relations from set A to set B, where A and B have 'm' and 'n' elements respectively, is 2m*n.
    • A relation is a function if for every element in the domain, there's a unique corresponding element in the range.
    • If a set A has 'm' elements and set B has 'n' elements, the total number of functions from A to B is nm.
    • The set A is the domain of a function, and the set B is the co-domain.
    • The range of a function consists of all outputs from the function.

    Domain, Range, and Constant Function

    • The domain of a function includes all permissible input values (x).
    • The range of a function comprises the set of all possible output values (y).
    • A function defined as f(x) = c (where c is a constant) is a constant function.
      • Domain: All real numbers (ℝ)
      • Range: {c}

    Identity Function

    • An identity function is where f(x) = x for all x.
    • Domain: All real numbers (ℝ)
    • Range: All real numbers (ℝ)

    Absolute Value Function

    • An absolute value function is defined as f(x) = |x|.
      • f(x) = x if x > 0
      • f(x) = -x if x < 0
    • Domain: All real numbers (ℝ)
    • Range: Non-negative real numbers ([0, ∞))

    Signum Function

    • The signum function is defined as f(x) = x/|x| if x ≠ 0, and f(x) = 0 if x = 0.
    • Commonly abbreviated as sgn x
    • Domain: All real numbers (ℝ)
    • Range: {-1, 0, 1}

    Equal Functions

    • Two functions f and g are equal if:
      • Their domains are equal
      • For every x in the domain, f(x) = g(x)
