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…
Reversible and Irreversible processes A process which can be reversible i.e., operated in opposite direction from any state during the process such that the system returns to its initial state and their may be no effect on the surroundings. Thus at the end of the process both the system and…
Macroscopic and Microscopic Approaches The behaviour of matter can be studied by two approaches 1. Macroscopic approach, 2. Microscopic approach 1. Macroscopic approach – In the macroscopic approach a certain quantity of matter is considered for study without knowing the behaviour of individual…
Subsets of the set R of real numbers Following sets are important subsets of the set R of all real numbers: (i) The set of all natural numbers N = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,…. } (u) The set of all integers Z = { … – 3, – 2, -1,…
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).
Theorem 3 The total number of subsets of a finite set containing n elements is 2ⁿ. Proof Let A be a finite set containing n elements.Let 0 ≤ r ≤ n. Consider those subset,of A that have r elements each.We know that the number of ways in which r elements can be chosen…
