Question 1 Let A = {1, 2, 3,…,14}. Define a relation R from A to A by R = {(x, y) : 3x – y = 0, where x, y ∈ A}. Write down its domain, codomain and range.
Answer The relation R from A to A is given as:
R = {(x, y): 3x – y = 0, where x, y ∈ A}
= {(x, y): 3x = y, where x, y ∈ A}
R = {(1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9), (4, 12)}
The domain of R is the set of all first elements of the ordered pairs in the relation.
Hence, Domain of R = {1, 2, 3, 4}
The whole set A is the codomain of the relation R.
Hence, Codomain of R = A = {1, 2, 3, …, 14}
The range of R is the set of all second elements of the ordered pairs in the relation.
Hence, Range of R = {3, 6, 9, 12}
Question 2 Define a relation R on the set N of natural numbers by R = {(x, y) : y = x + 5, x is a natural number less than 4; x, y ∈N}. Depict this relationship using roster form. Write down the domain and the range.
Answer R = {(x, y): y = x + 5, x is a natural number less than 4, x, y ∈ N}
The natural numbers less than 4 are 1, 2, and 3.
So, R = {(1, 6), (2, 7), (3, 8)}
The domain of R is the set of all first elements of the ordered pairs in the relation.
Hence, Domain of R = {1, 2, 3}
The range of R is the set of all second elements of the ordered pairs in the relation.
Hence, Range of R = {6, 7, 8}
Question 3 A = {1, 2, 3, 5} and B = {4, 6, 9}. Define a relation R from A to B by R = {(x, y): the difference between x and y is odd; x ∈ A, y ∈ B}. Write R in roster form.
Answer A = {1, 2, 3, 5} and B = {4, 6, 9}
The relation from A to B is given as
R = {(x, y): the difference between x and y is odd; x ∈ A, y ∈ B}
R = {(1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 9), (3, 4), (3, 6), (5, 4), (5, 6)}
Question 4 The Fig 2.7 shows a relationship between the sets P and Q. Write this relation
(i) in set-builder form
(ii) roster form.
What is its domain and range?
Answer P = {5, 6, 7}, Q = {3, 4, 5}
The relation between P and Q:
(i) Set-builder form
R = {(x, y): y = x – 2; x ∈ P} or R = {(x, y): y = x – 2 for x = 5, 6, 7}
(ii) Roster form
R = {(5, 3), (6, 4), (7, 5)}
Domain of R = {5, 6, 7}
Range of R = {3, 4, 5}
Question 5 Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6}. Let R be the relation on A defined by
{(a, b): a , b ∈A, b is exactly divisible by a}.
(i) Write R in roster form
(ii) Find the domain of R
(iii) Find the range of R.
Answer A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6} and relation R = {(a, b): a, b ∈ A, b is exactly divisible by a}
(i) R = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 2), (2, 4), (2, 6), (3, 3), (3, 6), (4, 4), (6, 6)}
(ii) Domain of R = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6}
(iii) Range of R = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6}
Question 6 Determine the domain and range of the relation R defined by
R = {(x, x + 5) : x ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}}.
Answer Relation R = {(x, x + 5): x ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}}
R = {(0, 5), (1, 6), (2, 7), (3, 8), (4, 9), (5, 10)}
Domain of R = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and,
Range of R = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
Question 7 Write the relation R = {(x, x3 ) : x is a prime number less than 10} in roster form.
Answer Relation R = {(x, x3): x is a prime number less than 10}
The prime numbers less than 10 are 2, 3, 5, and 7.
∴ R = {(2, 8), (3, 27), (5, 125), (7, 343)
Question 8 Let A = {x, y, z} and B = {1, 2}. Find the number of relations from A to B.
Answer A = {x, y, z} and B = {1, 2}
A × B = {(x, 1), (x, 2), (y, 1), (y, 2), (z, 1), (z, 2)}
As n(A × B) = 6, the number of subsets of A × B will be 26.
Thus, the number of relations from A to B is 26.
Question 9 Let R be the relation on Z defined by R = {(a,b): a, b ∈ Z, a – b is an integer}. Find the domain and range of R.
Answer Relation R = {(a, b): a, b ∈ Z, a – b is an integer}
We know that the difference between any two integers is always an integer.
∴ Domain of R = Z and Range of R = Z
