Study Notes
- The text discusses the concept of relations and functions, with a focus on relations between sets, in mathematics.
- Two objects or quantities are considered related if there is a recognizable connection or link between them, as in the English language.
- In the context of the text, sets A and B represent students from different classes in a school.
- Examples of relations between these sets are given: (i) students being brothers or sisters, (ii) students having different ages, (iii) students obtaining different total marks in exams, and (iv) students living in the same locality.
- Mathematically, a relation R from set A to set B is defined as an arbitrary subset of the Cartesian product A × B.
Test your knowledge on relations, functions, domain, co-domain, and range as introduced in Class XI. Explore different types of specified mathematical concepts and their applications.
