Important Topics for Class 11 Maths NCERT Solutions Chapter 2 Relations and Functions

Important Topics for Class 11 Maths NCERT Solutions Chapter 2 Relations and Functions are as follows:

Cartesian Product of Sets

Cartesian product is the product of any two sets. This product’s resultant set contains all possible and ordered pairs so that the first element of the pair belongs to the first set and the second element belongs to the second set.

Example. Given two sets C = {1,2,6} and D = {8,3}. Find the cartesian product C × D.

Solution: The first element 1 is taken from the set C {1,2,6} and the second element 8 is taken from the second set D {8, 3} to form the first ordered pair (1,8).

Same step is repeated until all possible combinations are chosen. After multiplying two sets C and D, 6 ordered pairs are obtained: {(1,8),(1,3),(2,8),(2,3),(6,8),(6,3)}.

This is the cartesian product of the two sets C and D.

Relations

Relations are used to describe a connection between elements of two sets. They help to map elements of one set (domain) to elements of another set (range). The resulting ordered pairs are of the form (input, output). It can also be said that a function is a subset of a relation.

Example: Find the inverse relation of R = {(4, 8), (-3, -6), (7.1, 2.3)}

Solution: Inverse relation is defined as R-1 = {(y, x) : (x, y) ∈ R}

Therefore, R-1 = {(8, 4), (-6, -3), (2.3, 7.1)}

Therefore, the inverse relation R-1 = {(8, 4), (-6, -3), (2.3, 7.1)}

Functions

Function is the relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs. Each input is related to exactly one output.

Example: In the function f(x)=x² f (x) = x² any input for x will give one output only.
