EXPRESSING RELATIONS IN DIFFERENT FORMS

Let A and B be any two non-empty sets. A ‘relation’ R from A to B is a subset of Ax B ́ satisfying some specified conditions. If x ∈ A is related to y ∈ B through R , then
we write it as x Ry. x Ry if and only if (x, y)  R

Among several relations that exist between two non-empty sets, some special relations are important for further exploration. Such relations are called “Functions”.

The relations function may be represented by 

(a) a set of ordered pairs

(b)  a table form

(c)  an arrow diagram

(d)  a graphical form

Express the following relations as

i)  a table

ii) a graph

iii)  a mapping

Then, state the domain and range of the relation. 

Problem 1 :

{(-2, 1), (-1, 0), (1, 2), (2, -4), (4, 3)}

Table :

If x = -3 and y = -3

x = -1 and y = 1

x = 0 and y = 2

x = 2 and y = -3

x = 2 and y = 3

Graph :

This relation is not a function.

Problem 3 :

Express the relation

{(-1, -1), (1, 1), (2, 1), (3, 2)}

as

i)  a table

ii) a graph

iii)  a mapping

x = 1 and y = 1

x = 2 and y = 1

x = 3 and y = 2
