Function as a Set of Ordered Pairs

Domain of relation Let R be a relation from a set A to a set B. Then the of all first components or coordinates of the ordered pairs belonging to R is called the domain of R. Thus, domain of R = { a : (a, b) ∈ R} Clearly, domain of R ⊆  A…

Range of relation Let R be a relation from a set A to a set B. Then the of all second components or coordinates of the ordered pairs belonging to R is called the range of R. Thus, Range of R = { b : (a, b) ∈ R} Clearly, range of R ⊆  B…

Intervals as subsets of R    Closed intervals  Let a and b be two given real numbers such that a < b. Then the set of all real numbers x such that a ≤ x ≤ b is called a closed interval and is denoted by [a, b] .   Thus,     [a, b] = {…

Thermodynamic system Thermodynamic system is defined as quantity of matter or a region in a space chosen for study. Everything external to the system is called surroundings. The system is separated from the surroundings by the boundary that may be real or imaginary        The boundary does not intervene between the system and surroundings. It only…

Disjoint sets Two sets A and B are said to be disjoint, if A∩B=Φ. If A∩B≠Φ, then A and B are said to be intersecting or overlapping sets As shown in Fig(vi) Fig(vi)  Example If A={ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }, B={ 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 } and C= { 6, 8, 10,…

Open interval  If a and b are two real numbers such that a < b, then the set of all real numbers x satisfying a  x  b is called an open interval  and is  denoted by (a, b) or ]a, b[ .   Thus,  (a,b) = (x: x ∈ R, a < x < b).
