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…
Complement of a set Let U be the universal set and let A be a set such that A ⊂ U. Then the complement of A with respect to U is denoted by A’ or Ac or U-A and is defined the set of all those elements of U which are not in A. Thus…
Thermodynamic equilibrium Thermodynamic state is a condition of a system and is specified by its thermodynamic properties. Thermodynamic Equilibrium of a system is a state such that if the system is isolated from its surroundings no change in thermodynamic properties would occur. A system will be in a state of thermodynamic equilibrium if the conditions…
Power set Let A be a set. Then the collection or family of all subsets of A is called the power set of A and is denoted by P(A). That is. P(A) = { S : S ⊂ A }. Since the empty set and the set A itself are subsets of A and are…
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,…
Function as a set of ordered pairs Let A and B be two non-empty sets. A relation f from A to B i.e a subset of A × B is called a function (or a mapping or a map) from A to B, if i) for each a ∈ A there exists b ∈ B…
