Class 11 Mathematics Revision Notes for Chapter 2 Relations and Functions
- Introduction:
- This chapter will teach us how to connect pairs of objects from two sets together to create a relation between them.
- We’ll examine the classification of a relation as a function.
- Finally, we’ll examine a number of different function types as well as a few common functions.
- Relations:
2.1 Cartesian Product of Sets
Definition:
If P and Q are two given non-empty Sets,
P×Q is the set of all ordered pairs of all elements from P to Q which is,
P × Q = { (p, q) ; p∈P; q∈Q }
Also known as Cartesian Product.
2.2 Relation:
2.2.1 Definition:
If A and N are two non-empty Sets,
Then a subset “R” of A×B is a relation between A and B.
If(a, b)∈ R, it can be written as Rb which means A is related to B by the relation R.
2.2.2 Domain and Range of a Relation:
If R is a relation from A to B, then the set of R’s first and second items is known as domain and range of R relation respectively. Domain of R = { x:(x, y)∈R }
Range of R = { y:(x, y)∈R }
Set B is thought to be a co-domain of relation R.
Also, range ⊂ co-domain.
2.2.3 Inverse of a Relation:
The total number of relations that can be defined between set A to set B is the number of possible subsets of A × B.
If n(A) = p and n(B) = q, then
n(A × B) = pq and the total number of relations are 2pq.
3. Functions:
3.1 Definition:
A function is a relation ‘f’ from a set A to set B if every element of set A has one and only one image in set B.
3.2 Domain, Co-domain and Range of a function:
Domain: a domain is the largest set of x values for which the formula produces y values when y = f(x) is defined using a formula and the domain is not explicitly stated.
The domain of y=f(x) is the set of all real x for which f(x) is defined (real).
Rules for finding Domain:
- Roots should have non-negative expressions.
- Denominator ≠ 0
- logax is defined when x 0, a 0 and a≠1
- If domain y = f(x) is D1 and y = g(x) is D2, then the domain of f(x)±g(x) or f(x).g(x) is D1∩D2.
- While domain of f(x)/g(x) is D1∩D2−{x:g(x)=0}.
Range:
The set of all f – images of elements of A is called the range of f or f(A).
Range=f(A)={f(x):x∈A}
f(A)⊆B {Range ⊆ Co-domain}
Rule for Finding Range:
First, find the domain of y=f(x).
If domain ∈ finite number of points ⇒ range ∈ set of corresponding f(x) values.
If domain ∈ R or R− {Some finite points}
Put y=f(x)
Then express x in terms of y. Find y for x to be defined.
If domain ∈ a finite interval, find the least and greater value for the range using monotonicity.
3.3 Kinds of Functions:
Injective functions- are one-to-one functions.
Surjective functions- are onto functions.
Bijective functions- are one-to-one and onto functions.
Relations Which Cannot be Categorised as a Function:
Not all elements of set A are associated with only some elements of set B.
An element of set A is not associated with any unique element of set B.
Methods to check one-one mapping:
- Theoretically:
f(x1)=f(x2) ⇒x1=x2, then f(x) is one-one.
- Graphically:
If no line parallel to the x−axis meets the graph of the function at more than one point, a function is one-one.
- By Calculus:
By checking the increase or decrease in the function of a domain, we can check whether f(x) is One-One. If yes, then the function is one-one, that is if f′(x)≥0,∀x∈ domain or, if f′(x)≥0,∀x∈ domain, then the function is one-one.
3.4 Some Standard Real Functions & their Graphs:
3.4.1 Identity Function:
When the function f: R→R is defined by
y=f(x)=x∀x∈R,
it is called the identity function.
3.4.2 Constant Function:
It is when the function f:R→R defined by
y=f(x)=c,∀x∈R.
3.4.3 Modulus Function(absolute value function):
The function f:R→R defined by
f(x)={x; x≥0
{−x; x<0
is called the modulus function. It is denoted by
y=f(x)=|x|.
Properties of Modulus Function:
- For any real number x , we have x2−−√=|x|
- |xy|=|x||y|
- |x+y|≤|x|+|y| Triangle inequality
- |x−y|≥||x|−|y|| Triangle inequality
3.4.4 Signum Function:
The function f:R→R define by
f(x)= {1:x>0
{0:x=0
{−1:x<0
is called the signum function.
Denoted as y=f(x)=sgn(x)∣.
3.4.5 Greatest Integer Function:
The function f: R→R is defined as the greatest integer less than or equal to x.
Denoted as y=f(x)=[x].
Properties of Greatest Integer Function:
[−n]=−[n]
[x+n]=[x]+n
[−x]=[x]−1
[x]+[−x]={−1, if x∉I
{ 0, if x∈I
3.4.6 Exponential Function:
Exponential function is
f(x)=ax,
Where a>0,a≠1
Domain: x∈R
Range: f(x)∈(0,∞)
3.4.7 Logarithm Function:
Logarithm function is,
f(x)=logax ,
a>0,a≠1
Domain: x∈(0,∞)
Range: y∈R
- a) The Principal Properties of Logarithms:
- logba=a ⇒a=bc
- loga(M.N)=logaM+logaN
- loga(M/N)=logaM−logaN
- logaMN=NlogaM
- logba=logca/logcb, c>0,c≠1
- alogcb=blogca, a,b,c>0,c≠1
- b) Properties of Monotonicity of Logarithm:
If the exponent and base are on the same side of unity, the logarithm is positive.
If the exponent and base are on opposite sides of unity, the logarithm is negative.
- If a 1, logax logay ⇒0<x<y
- If 0 a 1, logax logay ⇒x y 0
- If a 1 then logax p ⇒0 x ap
- If a 1 then logax p ⇒x ap
- If 0 a 1 then logax p ⇒x ap
- If 0 a 1 then logax p ⇒0 x ap
- Algebra of Real Function:
In this part, students will learn to add two real functions, remove one from another, multiply a real function by a scalar (a scalar is a real integer), multiply two real functions, and divide one real function by another.
4.1 Addition of Two Real Functions:
If f:X→R and g:X→R are any two real functions, where x⊂R, then, we define (f+g):X→R by
(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x) for all x∈X .
4.2 Subtraction of a Real Function from another:
If f: X→R are any two real functions, where x⊂R, then, we define
(f−g): X→R by
(f−g)(x)=f(x)−g(x) for all x∈X.
4.3 Multiplication by a Scalar(real number):
Let f: X→R be a real-valued function and α be a scalar. Then the product αf is a function from X to R defined as (αf)(x)=αf(x), x∈X.
4.4 Multiplication of Two Real Functions(pointwise multiplication):
The product (or multiplication) of two real functions f: X→R and g: X→R is a function fg: X→R defined as
(fg)(x)=f(x)g(x) for all x∈X.
4.5 Quotient of Two Real Functions:
Let f and g be two real functions defined from X→R where X⊂R.
The quotient of f by g denoted by f/g a is a function defined as (f/g)(x)=f(x)/g(x)
If g(x)≠0,x∈X .
4.6 Even and Odd Functions
Even Function: f(−x)=f(x),∀x∈ Domain
An even function, y=f(x), has a graph that is symmetric about the y axis.
Odd Function: f(x)=−f(x),∀x∈ Domain
If the point (x,y) lies on the graph of an odd function, then the point (x,y) will also lie on the graph because y=f(x) is symmetric around the origin.
5. Periodic Function
5.1 Definition:
If there is a positive real number T, a function f(x) is said to be a periodic function. Then,
f(x+T)=f(x),∀x∈R ,
f(x) is a periodic function where the least positive value of T is called fundamental period.
5.2 Graphically:
If the graph repeats at a set interval, and its period is the width of that interval.

5.4 Properties of Periodic Function:
- If f(x) is periodic with a period T, then
- c.f (x) is periodic with the period T
- f(c) is periodic with the period T
- f(x)+c is periodic with the period T
Where c might be any constant
- When f(x) is periodic with a period T, then
kf (cx+d) has period T/ |c|
Only the coefficients of the k, c, and d constants have an effect on the period.
iii. If f (x), f (x) are periodic functions with periods T1, T2 respectively, then we have,
h(x)=af1(x)±bf2(x) has period as, LCM
of {T1,T2} .
Class 11 Mathematics Revision Notes for Chapter 2 Relations and Functions
The concepts for this chapter are rather easy but should be studied methodically. Extramarks Revision Notes for Class 11 Mathematics Chapter 2 contain all the necessary information in a well-structured manner so that students can refer to the notes and understand them easily. These notes include the following topics under Chapter 2.
Cartesian Product of Sets in Relations and Functions Class 11 Explanation
A pair of elements stuck together in order is called an ordered pair.
(a,b)≠(b,a)(a,b)≠(b,a).
Cartesian Product of two sets is given by
A × B = [{a, b}: a ∈ A, b ∈ B}.
Concept of Relation in Class 11 Mathematics Relations and Functions Notes
A relation which is represented by ‘R’ from set A to set B is a subset of the Cartesian product A × B. It is found when a relationship is interpreted between the 1st and 2nd elements of the ordered pairs.
A × B, i.e., R⊆A×BR⊆A×B.
Domain In Class 11 Mathematics Relations and Functions Notes
The domain of relation R is the set of all the 1st elements of the ordered pairs in R.
Domain R = {p:(p,q)∈R}{p:(p,q)∈R}.
Range In Class 11 Mathematics Relations and Functions Notes
The range of the relation R is the set of all 2nd elements of the ordered pairs in R.
Range R = {q:(p,q)∈R}{q:(p,q)∈R}.
Function in Class 11 Mathematics Relations and Functions Notes
A function (f) from set P to set Q is a relation in which every element of set P has only one image in set Q.
f: P→Q, where f(x) = y.
Domain and Codomain in Class 11 Mathematics Relations and Functions Notes
Set P is the Domain of the function ‘f’ and set Q is the Co-domain of the function ‘f’.
Image and Preimage In Class 11 Mathematics Relations and Functions Notes
Image: if an element of P corresponds to y∈Qy∈Q in the function ‘f’, then yy is the image. Written as- f x =yf x =y.
Preimage: When f x =yf x =y, then we say that xx is a preimage of y.
