Inverse of Relations

 


The inverse of a relation R is represented by R-1

When the relations is represented using ordered pair, R-1 is obtained by reversing the order in all the ordered pairs belonging to R

Graphs of relations

 


Graphs that involve equations are drawn using all procedure used to draw the graphs of equations. For example when drawing the graphs of linear equations we can use table of values or using x and y intercepts.

The relations involving inequalities are drawn as when drawing equations, the difference is that in graphing inequalities:

  • when > or < symbol is used we draw the graph using dotted lines while when >= (greater than or equal) or <= (less than or equal symbol) is used we draw a line using bolded line.
  • we normally shade the area satisfying the given relation
  • domain and range is found by considering the values of x and y in an area where our graph covers

Domain and range of relations

 


For the given relation represented in ordered pair, all the elements of the first set are Domains while those in the second set are range. For example a relation R = {(x, y): (1, 2), (a, b), (4, 5), (9, 10)}  

Domain = {1, a, 4, 9} and range = {2, b, 5, 10}
