  • Relations and Functions

    RelationLet A be a non-empty set and R A A . Then, R is called arelation on A.

    If ( , )a b R , then we say that a is related to b and we writeaRb.

    If ( , )a b R , then we write b R a/ .

    Types of Relation

    1. Empty Relation

    A relation R on a set A is called empty relation, if noelement of A is related to any element of A i.e.,R A A= is the empty relation.

    2. Universal Relation

    A relation R on a set A is called universal relation, if eachelement of A is related to every element of A i.e.,R A A= .

    Both the empty relation and the universal relation aresometimes called trivial relations.

    3. Reflexive Relation

    A relation R defined on set A is said to be reflexive, if( , ) ,x x R x A .

    4. Symmetric Relation

    A relation R defined on set A is said to be symmetric, if( , )x y R ( , )y x R , x y A,

    5. Transitive Relation

    A relation R defined on set A is said to be transitive, if( , )x y R and ( , )y z R ( , ) , , ,x z R x y z A

    6. Equivalence Relation

    A relation R on a set A is called an equivalence relation, ifit is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

    7. Equivalence Classes

    Given, an arbitrary equivalence relation R on anarbitrary set X, R divides X into mutually disjoint subsetsAi called partitions satisfying A A Xi j = andA A i ji j i are called equivalenceclass and it is denoted by [ ]a .

    Function

    Every function is a relation but every relation is not afunction.

    Types of Function

    1. One-one (Injective) Function

    A function f A B: is said to be one-one, if f x f x( ) ( )1 2= x x1 2= or x x1 2 f x f x( ) ( )1 2where, x x A1 2,

    gof is onto, then g is onto.

    7. Invertible Function

    A function f X Y: is defined to be invertible, if thereexists a function g Y X: , such that gof = IX andfog = IY. The function g is called the inverse of f and it isdenoted by f 1. Thus, f is invertible, then f must beone-one and onto and vice-versa.

    Inverse Trigonometric FunctionsTrigonometric functions are not one-one and onto on their natural domains and ranges, so their inverse does not exist in all

    values but their inverse may exists in some interval of their domains and ranges. Thus, we can say that, inverse of

    trigonometric functions are defined within restricted domains of corresponding trigonometric functions. Inverse of f is

    denoted by f 1.

    Let y f x x= =( ) sin be a function. Its inverse is x y= sin ,1 i.e., sin sinx x Inverse 1 .

    Continuity and Differentiability

    Continuous FunctionA real function f is said to be continuous, if it is continuousat every point in the domain f.

    Continuity at a PointSuppose f is a real valued function on a subset of the realnumbers and let c be a point in the domain of f. Then, f iscontinuous at c, if lim ( ) ( )

    x cf x f c

    = .

    i.e., if f c f x f xx c x c

    ( ) lim ( ) lim ( )= = +

    , then f x( ) is continuous at

    x c= . Otherwise, f x( ) is discontinuous at x c= .

    Graphically, a function f x( ) is said to be continuous at a

    point, if the graph of the function has no break point.

    Some Basic Continuous Function(i) Every constant function is continuous.

    (ii) Every identity function is continuous.

    (iii) Every polynomial function is continuous.

    Algebra of Continuous FunctionIf f and g are two continuous functions in domain D, then

    (i) ( )f g+ is continuous.(ii) ( )f g is continuous.(iii) cf is continuous.

    (iv) fg is continuous.

    (v)f

    gis continuous in domain except at the points,

    where, g x( ) = 0.

  • (vi) If f is continuous, then f is also continuous.

    (vii) Every rational function is continuous.

    (viii) Suppose f and g are real valued functions such that(fog) is defined at c, if g is continuous at c and f iscontinuous at g c( ), then (fog) is continuous at c.

    Differentiability or DerivabilityA function f is said to be derivable or differentiable at x c= ,if its left hand and right hand derivatives at c exist and areequal.

    (i) Right Hand Derivative Rf af a h f a

    hh =

    +

    ( ) lim( ) ( )

    0

    (ii) Left Hand Derivative Lf af a h f a

    hh =

    ( ) lim( ) ( )

    0

    f x( ) is differentiable at x a= , if Rf a L f a = ( ) ( ).Otherwise, f x( ) is not differentiable at x a= .

    (i) Graphically, a function is not differentiable at a cornerpoint of a curve.

    (ii) Every differentiable function is continuous. But acontinuous function need not be differentiable.

    Differentiation

    The process of finding derivative is called differentiation.

    revenue with respect to the number of items sold at an

    instant. If R x( ) represents the revenue function for x units

    sold, then marginal revenue, denoted by MR, is given by

    MR = ddx

    Order of a Differential EquationThe order of the highest derivative occurring in the differentialequation, is called order.

    Degree of a Differential EquationThe power of the highest order derivative in the differentialequation, is called degree.

    Solution of a Differential EquationA relation between the dependent and independent variableswhich, when substituted in the differential equation reduces itto an identity, is called a solution.

    General Solution of aDifferential EquationA solution of a differential equation which contains as manyarbitrary constants as the order of the differential equation, iscalled the general solution or primitive solution of thedifferential equation.

    Particular Solution of a DifferentialEquationThe solution obtained from the general solution givenparticular values to the arbitrary constants, is called aparticular solution of the differential equation.

    Formation of a Differential EquationAn equation with independent, dependent variablesinvolving some arbitrary constants is given, then adifferential equation is obtained as follows

    (i) Differentiate the given equation with respect to theindependent variable (say x) as many times as thenumber of arbitrary constants in it.

    (ii) Eliminate the arbitrary constants.

    (iii) The obtained equation is the required differentialequation.

    The order of a differential equation representing a familyof curves is same as the number of arbitrary constantspresent in the equations corresponding to the family ofcurves.

    Equation in Variable Separable FormIf the equation can be reduced into the form

    Vector Algebra

    VectorA quantity that has magnitude as well as direction, is calleda vector.

    Since, the length is never negative, so the notation| |a

    < 0has no meaning.

    ScalarA quantity that has magnitude only, is called scalar.

    Magnitude of a Vector

    If a i j k

    = + +a b c$ $ $, then | |a

    Free VectorIf the initial point of a vector is not specified, then it is calleda free vector.

    Type of Vectors

    Zero or Null VectorA vector whose magnitude is zero i e. ., whose initial andfinal points coincide, is called a null vector or zero vector.

    Unit VectorA vector whose magnitude is one unit. The unit vector in

    the direction of a

    is represented by $a. The unit vectors

    along X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis are represented by $ $ and $i j k, ,

    respectively.

    Coinitial VectorsTwo or more vectors having the same initial point are calledcoinitial vectors.

    Collinear VectorsThe vectors which have same support are called collinearvectors.

    Like VectorsThe vectors which have same direction are called likevectors.

    Unlike VectorsThe vectors which have opposite directions are calledunlike vectors.

    Equal VectorsTwo vectors are equal, if they have same magnitude anddirection.

    Negative of a VectorA vector whose magnitude is same as that of given vectorbut the direction is opposite is called negative vector of the

    given vector. e.g., Let AB

    be a vector, then AB or BA

    is a

    negative vector.

    Linear Programming

    Linear Programming ProblemA linear programming problem is one that is concerned withfinding the optimal value (maximum or minimum value) of a linearfunction (called objective function) of several variables (say x andy called decision variable), subject to the conditions that thevariables are non-negative and satisfy a set of linear inequalities(called linear constraints).

    Some Terms Related to LPP

    1. ConstraintsThe linear inequations or inequalities or restrictions on thevariables of a linear programming problem are called constraints.The conditions x y 0 0, are called non-negative restrictions.

    2. Optimisation Problem

    A problem which seeks to maximise or minimise a linear function

    subject to certain constraints determined by a set of linear

    inequalities is called an optimisation problem. Linear

    programming problems are special type of optimisation

    problems.

    3. Objective Function

    A linear function of two or more variables which has to be

    maximised or minimised under the given restrictions in the form

    of linear inequations (or linear constraints) is called the

    objective function.The variables used in the objective function

    are called decision variables.

    4. Optimal ValuesThe maximum or minimum value of an objective function isknown as its optimal value.

    5. SolutionA set of values of the variables which satisfy theconstraints of given linear function (objective function)of several variable, subject to the conditions that thevariables are non-negative is called a solution of thelinear programming problem.

    6. Feasible Solution

    Any solution to the given linear programming

    problem which also satisfies the non-negative

    restrictions of the problem is called a feasible

    solution. Any point outside the feasible region is

    called an infeasible solution.

    7. Feasible Region

    The set of all feasible solutions constitutes a region

    which is called the feasible region. Each point in this

    region represents a feasible choice. The region other

    than feasible region is called an infeasible region.

    8. Bounded RegionA feasible region of a system of linear inequalities issaid to be bounded, if it can be enclosed within acircle. Otherwise, it is said to be unbounded region.

    9. Optimal Solution

    A feasible solution at which the objective function has

    optimal value is called the optimal solution of the

    linear programming problem.

    10. Optimisation Technique

    The process of obtaining the optimal solution is

    called optimisation technique.

  • Corner Point MethodIt is a graphical method to solve the LPP.

    The following steps are given below

    Step I Find the feasible region of the linear programmingproblem and determine its corner points (vertices)either by inspection or by solving the two equationsof the lines intersecting at that point.

    Step II Evaluate the objective function z ax by= + at eachcorner point. Let M and m respectively denote thelargest and smallest values of these points.

    Step III When the feasible region is bounded, M and m arethe maximum and minimum values of z.

    Step IV In case, the feasible region is unbounded, wehave

    (a) M is the maximum value of z, if the open halfplane determined by ax by M+ > has no pointin common with the feasible region. Otherwise,z has no maximum value.

    (b) Similarly, m is the minimum value of z, if theopen half plane determined by ax by m+ < hasno point in common with the feasible region.Otherwise, z has no minimum value.

    Probability

    Some Basic Definitions

    1. Experiment

    An operation which results in some well-defined outcomes, iscalled an experiment.

    2. Random Experiment

    An experiment in which total outcomes are known in advance butoccurrence of specific outcome can be told only after completionof the experiment, is known as a random experiment.

    3. Trial

    When a random experiment is repeated under identicalconditions and it does not give the same result each time butmay result in one of the several possible outcomes, then suchexperiment is called a trial.

    4. Sample Space

    The set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment iscalled its sample space. It is usually denoted by S.

    5. Discrete Sample Space

    A sample space is called a discrete sample space, if S is a finiteset.

    EventA subset of the sample space associated with a random

    experiment is called an event or case.

    Type of Events

    Equally Likely EventsThe given events are said to be equally likely, if none of them isexpected to occur in preference to the other.

    Mutually Exclusive EventsA set of events is said to be mutually exclusive, if the happening ofone excludes the happening of the other i.e., if A and B aremutually exclusive, then ( )A B = .

    Exhaustive EventsA set of events is said to be exhaustive, if the performance of theexperiment always results in the occurrence of atleast one ofthem.

    If E E En1 2, , , are exhaustive events, then E E E Sn1 2 = .

    Complement of an Event

    Let some A be an event in a sample space S, then

    complement of A is the set of all sample points of

    the space other than the sample point in A and it

    is denoted by A or A.i e A n n S n. ., { : , A} =

    Some Basic Terms

    CoinA coin has two sides, head and tail. If an eventconsists of more than one coin, then coins areconsidered as distinct, if not otherwise stated.

    (i) Sample space of one coin= { }H, T

    Die

    A die has six faces marked 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. If we

    have more than one die, then all dice are

    considered as distinct, if not otherwise stated.
