Chapter 1: Function
Relations
Example 1
The relation ‘is a factor of’ between set A = { 3, 4} and set B = {4, 6, 8} can be
represented as below:
Example 2
The diagram above shows the relation between set A and set B. Find the domain, codomain and range
of the relation.
Answer
Example:
Domain = {3, 4, 5}
Codomain = {7, 9, 12, 15}
Range = {9, 12, 15} [Note: 7 is not an image because it is not mapped to any object.
Type of Relation
A function is a relation in which every element in the domain has a unique image
(exactly one) in the codomain.
One-to-one relation and many-to-one relation are examples of a special kind of
relation which we call function.
A function should has the following properties:
o All objects must have at least 1 image.
o It is not necessarily that all elements in the codomain have object.
o An object cannot has more than 1 image.
o More than 1 object is allowed to have the same image.
Notation of function
COMPARARIOSN METHOD
Finding new function given a composite function (Case B : Second function is given) Harder.
