Chapter 1: RELATIONS AND FUNCTIONS

RELATIONS ON A SET:

Definition: A relation on the set A is a relation from A to A.

In other words, a relation on the set A is a subset of AA.
Example: Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4}. Write the relation R = {(a, b) | a < b} in Roster form.
Solution: R = {(1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 4)}
Counting of Relations on a Set:
How many different relations can we define on a set A with n elements?
A relation on a set A is a subset of AA.
How many elements are in AA?
There are n2 elements in AA, so how many subsets (= relations on A) does AA
have?
The number of subsets that we can form out of a set with k elements is 2𝑘 . Therefore,
2
2𝑛 subsets can be formed out of AA.
𝟐
Answer: We can define 𝟐𝒏 different relations on A.

Reflexive Relations:
Definition: A relation R on a set A is called reflexive if (a, a)R for every element
aA.
Are the following relations on {1, 2, 3, 4} reflexive?
R = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 3), (4, 4)} Ans: No.
R = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 3), (4, 4)} Ans: Yes.
The number of Reflexive relations on a finite set having n elements is 2n(n-1).

Symmetric Relations:
Definition: A relation R on a set A is called symmetric if (b, a)R whenever (a, b)R
for all a, bA, i.e. (a, b)R→(b, a)R.
Examples:
1. Is empty relation symmetric? Ans: Yes.
2. Is relation {(2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 2)} on the set {1, 2, 3, 4} symmetric?Ans: Yes.
3, Is relation {(2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 2), (3,1)} on the set {1, 2, 3, 4} symmetric?Ans: No..
The number of Symmetric relations on a finite set having n elements is 2 n (n+1)/2.
 5

Transitive Relations:
Definition:A relation R on a set A is called transitive if whenever (a, b)R and (b,
c)R, then (a, c)R i.e.
(a, b)R and (b, c)R  (a, c)R.
R = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (2, 2), (2, 1), (3, 3)} is a transitive relation.
R = {(2, 4), (4, 3), (2, 3), (4, 1)} is not a transitive relation.

Equivalence Relation:
Definition: A relation on a set A is called an equivalence relation if it is reflexive,
symmetric, and transitive.

Function:
A relation from a set A to another set B is called a function if it relates each element of
set A to a unique element of set B.

Injective Function:
A function 𝒇 from set A to set B is called an injective function or into function if no
two distinct element of set A be related to the same element of set B under this map 𝒇,
i.e. 𝑥 ≠ 𝑦  𝑓(𝑥) ≠ 𝑓(𝑦)
i.e. 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑓(𝑦)  𝑥 = 𝑦.
Surjective Function or Onto Map:
A function 𝒇 from set A to set B is called a Surjective function or Onto function if
every element of set B has a pre-image in set A under the function𝒇, i.e. Range𝒇 = B.

Bijective Map or One-One Onto Map:

A function 𝒇 from set A to set B is called a Bijective Map if it is both injective as well
as surjective.

1). Show that the relation R in the set {1, 2, 3} given by R = {(1, 2), (2, 1)} is
symmetric but neither reflexive nor Transitive. ( (1,1) not belons to R)
ANS: Relation R = {(1, 2), (2, 1)} is symmetric as (a, b)R⇒(b, a)R,
It is not transitive as (1, 2)R and (2, 1)R but (1, 1)R.
It is not reflexive as 1{1, 2, 3} but (1, 1)∉ 𝑹.
Relation R = {(a, b): a ≤ b, a, b ∈R} is reflexive as
𝒙≤𝒙 𝒊. 𝒆. 𝒙𝑹𝒙 ∀𝒙 ∈ 𝑹.
It is transitive as
𝒙 ≤ 𝒚, 𝒚 ≤ 𝒛  𝒙 ≤ 𝒛 𝒊. 𝒆. 𝒙𝑹𝒚, 𝒚𝑹𝒛  𝒙𝑹𝒛 .
But, it is not symmetric as 𝟐 ≤ 𝟓 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝟓 > 𝟐.
2) Show that R defined as R = {(a, b): a ≤ b, a, b ∈R} is Reflexive and Transitive but
not Symmetric.

3). Let A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {4, 5, 6, 7} and let f = {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)} be a function
from A to B. whether f is one-one? Whether it is onto?
Let 𝐴 = {1, 2, 3}, 𝐵 = {4, 5, 6, 7} and let 𝑓 = {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)}.
The 𝑓 is one-one as distinct elements of set 𝐴 is related to distinct elements of 𝐵.
 7

This function 𝑓 is not onto as 7∈ 𝑩 which do not have pre-image in 𝑨.

3x − 2
4). If f is an invertible function, find the inverse of f(x) = .

3x − 2
ANS: For invertible function f(x) = .

3x − 2 5𝑦+2
Let y = 𝑥= .
5 3
5𝑥+2
So the inverse function of the function is given by 𝑓 −1 such that 𝑓 −1 (𝑥) = .

5) Let C be the set of complex numbers. Prove that the mapping f : C →R given by
f (z) = |z|, ∀ z ∈ C, is neither one-one nor onto.
ANS: Given, by f (z) = |z|, ∀ z ∈ C
f (1) = |1| = 1
f (-1) = 1
f (1) = f(-1)
but 1 ≠ −1 So, f (z) is not one-one.
Also, f (z) is not onto as there is no pre-image for any negative element of R under the
Mapping f ( z).
6). If A = {1, 2, 3, 4} define relations on A which have properties of being:
(a) reflexive, transitive but not symmetric
(b) reflexive, symmetric and transitive.

ANS: Given that A = {1, 2, 3, 4}

(a) Let R1 = { (1,1) , (1, 2) , (2,3) , (2,2) , (1,3) , (3,3)}.
R1 is reflexive, since, (1,1) (2,2) (3,3) lie is R1
Now, (1, 2) ∈ R1 (2, 3) ∈ R1 ⇒ (1, 3) ∈ R1
Hence, R1 is also transitive, but (1, 2) ∈ R1, ⇒ (2, 1) ∉ R So, it is not symmetric.

(b) Let R2 = { (1,2) , (2,1) ,(1,1), (2, 2) , (3,3) , (1,3) , (3,1) , (2,3) }
Hence, R2 is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
7). Let R be relation defined on the set of natural number N as follows:
R = {(x, y): x ∈ N, y ∈ N, 2x + y = 41}. Find the domain and range of the relation R. Also
verify whether R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
ANS: Given that, R = {(x, y): x ∈ N, y ∈ N, 2x + y = 41}
Domain = {1, 2, 3……….20}
Range = {1, 3, 5, 7…………………39}
R = {(1, 39), (2, 37), (3, 35) ...... (19, 3), (20,1)}
 8

R is not reflexive as (2, 2) ∉ R 2 x 2 + 2 ≠ 41

So, R is not symmetric As (1, 39) ∈ R but (39, 1) ∉ R So, R is not transitive.
As (11, 19) ∈ R, (19, 3) ∈ R But (11,3) ∉R
Hence, R is neither reflexive, nor symmetric and nor transitive.

1). Prove that the relation R in the set A = {1,2,3,4,5} given by R = {(a, b): a, b∈A and
|𝑎 − 𝑏|is even} is an equivalence relation
ANS: Consider any a, b, c  A where A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Since |a – a| = 0, which is even  a − a is even
 (a, a )  R  R is reflexive. R is Symmetric
(a, b)  R  a − b is even  −(b − a) is even  b − a is even
 (b, a )  R  R is symmetric R is transitive
( a, b)  R
and (b, c)  R
 a − b is even and b − c is even
 a − b is even and b − c is even
 a − b + b − c is even
 a − c is even  a − c is even
 ( a, c )  R  R is transitive
Hence, R is an equivalence relation.

2). Check whether the function f: R→R defined by f(x) = 4+ 3x is one – one and onto.
If so, find the inverse of f.
ANS: f is One-one function if f(x1) = f(x2) → x1 = x2 for x1, x2 ∈ R
f(x1) = f(x2) 4 + 3x1 = 4 + 3x2

3). Define the relation R in the set 𝑁 × 𝑁 as follows: For (a, b), (c, d) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁, (a, b) R (c, d)
iff ad = bc. Prove that R is an equivalence relation in 𝑁 × 𝑁.
ANS: Let (𝑎, 𝑏) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁. Then we have ab = ba (by commutative property of N)
⟹ (𝑎, 𝑏) 𝑅 (𝑎, 𝑏) Hence, R is reflexive.
Let (𝑎, 𝑏), (𝑐, 𝑑) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁 such that (a, b) R (c, d).
Then ad = bc ⟹ 𝑐𝑏 = 𝑑𝑎 (by commutative property of multiplication of N)
⟹ (𝑐, 𝑑) 𝑅 (𝑎, 𝑏) Hence, R is symmetric.
 9

Let (𝑎, 𝑏), (𝑐, 𝑑), (𝑒, 𝑓) ∈ 𝑁 × 𝑁

(a, b) R (c, d) then ad = bc ……. (1)
(c, d) R (e, f) then cf = de ….……(2)
From (1), (2) 𝑎𝑑𝑐𝑓 = 𝑏𝑐𝑑𝑒 ⟹ 𝑎𝑓 = 𝑏𝑒 ⟹ (𝑎, 𝑏)(𝑒, 𝑓) Hence, R is transitive.
Since, R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive, R is an equivalence relation on 𝑁 × 𝑁.

9. A book store has 20 mathematics books, 15 physics books, and 12 chemistry books.
Their selling prices are Rs.300, Rs. 320, Rs. 340 each respectively .Find the total
amount the store will receive from selling all the items. Do you think that we must
make books our best friends? Why?
Sol. We can represent the given price information as the following Price Matrix:
300
Mathematics [320]
340
we can represent the given sale information as the following sale matrix:
𝑚𝑎𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑠 𝑝ℎ𝑦𝑠𝑖𝑐𝑠 𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑦
Book store [ ]
20 15 12
Then, the amount received by the book store from selling all the items can be obtained
300
by multiplying the sale matrix, which is given by: [20 15 12] [320]
340
 15

= 6000 + 4800 + 4080 = 14880.

Hence total amount is Rs.14880.
Yes, we must make books our best friends because books help us increase our
knowledge.

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM: (Second Derivative Test )

Let f be a continuous function in an open interval I.

f ( x 0 ) is said to be Local Maximum at x 0 if

f ' ’ (x)
(i). f ‘ ( x 0 ) = 0, (ii). f ‘’( x 0 ) is – ve . – ve

The point is x0 is called Point of Maximum.

Let f be a continuous function in an open interval I.

f ( x 0 ) is said to be Local Minimum at x 0 if

f ’ ‘ (x)
(i). f ‘ ( x 0 ) = 0, (ii). f ‘’( x 0 ) is + ve . +ve

The point is x0 is called Point of Minimum.

1. Find the absolute maximum and minimum values, if any, of f(x)= x-2, x𝝴[2,3]
Sol : Given f(x) = x – 2 on [2, 3] f’(x) = 1 on [2,3]
clearly, there is no value of x 𝝴 [2,3] for which f’(x) = 0
also f’(x) is defined for all x 𝝴 [2,3].
So, the possible points for absolute maximum value and absolute minimum values
are 2 and 3 respectively.
Now f(2) = 2 – 2 = 0 f(3) = 3 – 2 = 1
Hence, absolute maximum value is 1 which occurs at x = 3 and
absolute minimum value of f(x) is 0 which occurs at 2.
2). Find the absolute max and min values of f(x) = 2𝒙𝟑 –15𝒙𝟐 + 36x + 1, x 𝝴 [1, 5].
Sol: Given that f(x) = 2𝒙𝟑 – 15𝒙𝟐 + 36x + 1, x 𝝴 [ 1, 5].
f’(x)= 6𝒙𝟐 − 𝟑𝟎𝒙 + 𝟑𝟔 = 6(x – 3) (x -2).
 48

Now, f’(x) = 0 6(x – 3) (x – 2) = 0 x = 2, 3 𝝴 [1, 5]

Also f’(x) is defined for all x𝝴 [1, 5].
So, the possible points for absolute maximum and absolute minimum are 2,3,1,5.
Now f(2) = 29. f(3) = 28. f(1) = 24. f(5) = 56.
So, absolute maximum value is 56 and absolutely minimum value is 24.
3). Find the local maxima and local minima of the function f(x) = 𝒆𝒙 .
Sol: f(x) = 𝒆𝒙 f’(x)= 𝒆𝒙
to find local maxima and local minima
f’(x)= 0 𝒆𝒙 = 0 No solution
Hence f(x) = 𝒆𝒙 has no local maximum or local minimum values.
THREE marks questions:
1. Show that given function does not have local maxima or local minima points and
values. f (x)= 𝒙𝟑 + 18𝒙𝟐 + 𝟏𝟒𝟒𝒙 + 𝟓
Sol: f(x) = 𝒙𝟑 + 18𝒙𝟐 + 𝟏𝟒𝟒𝒙 + 𝟓
f’(x) = 3𝒙𝟐 + 36𝒙 + 144
For local maxima and local minima put
f’(x) =0 3𝒙𝟐 + 36𝒙 + 144 = 0
Here, D = 𝒃𝟐 -4ac
D=144 – 192 = – 48 < 0 Hence f’(x) has no solution.

2. The length x of a rectangle is decreasing at the rate of 5 cm/ min. and the width y is
increasing at the rate of 4 cm /min. When x = 8 cm and y = 6 cm, find the change

7 – INDEFINITE INTEGRALS

Integration is the inverse process of differentiation. In the differential calculus, we are given
a function and we have to find the derivative or differential of this function, but in the integral
calculus, we are to find a function whose differential is given. Thus, integration is a process
which is the inverse of differentiation.
Then, ∫f(x) dx = F(x) + C, these integrals are called indefinite integrals or general integrals. C
is an arbitrary constant by varying which one gets different anti-derivatives of the given
function.
Properties of Indefinite Integral
(i) ∫[f(x) + g(x)] dx = ∫f(x) dx + ∫g(x) dx
(ii) For any real number k, ∫k f(x) dx = k∫f(x)dx.
 55

Basic Formulae
 56

(a). Integration using Trigonometric Identities

1) 2 sin A . cos B = sin( A + B) + sin( A – B)

2) 2 cos A . sin B = sin( A + B) – sin( A – B)

3) 2 cos A . cos B = cos (A + B) + cos(A – B)
4) 2 sin A . sin B = cos(A – B) – cos (A + B)
5) 2 sin A cos A = sin 2A
6) cos2 A – sin2 A = cos 2A
7) sin2 A = (1 − cos2A)/2 sin2 A + cos2 A = 1
8) sin3A = 3sinA − 4sin3A cos3A = 4cos3A – 3cosA

(b). Integration by Substitutions

(c). Integration by Partial Fractions
A rational function is ratio of two polynomials of the form p(x)q(x), where p(x) and q(x) are
polynomials in x and q(x) ≠ 0. If degree of p(x) > degree of q(x), then we may divide p(x) by q(x) so
that p(x)q(x) = t(x) + p1(x) q(x), where t(x) is a polynomial in x which can be integrated easily and
degree of p1(x) is less than the degree of q(x) . p1(x)q(x) can be integrated by expressing p1(x)q(x) as
the sum of partial fractions of the following type:

where x2 + bx + c cannot be factorised further.

(d). Integration by Parts

For a given functions f(x) and q(x), we have
∫[f(x) q(x)] dx = f(x)∫g(x)dx – ∫{f'(x) ∫g(x)dx} dx
Here, we can choose the first function according to its position in ILATE, where
I = Inverse trigonometric function etc..

Note: (i) Keep in mind, ILATE is not a rule as all questions of integration by parts cannot be done by
above method.

Integrals of the types can be transformed into standard

𝑑
form by expressing px + q = A 𝑑𝑥 (ax2 + bx + c) + B = A (2ax + b) + B, where A and B are
determined by comparing coefficients on both sides.

9 – DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Basic Concepts
Definition : An equation involving derivative (derivatives) of the dependent variable with respect to
independent variable (variables) is called a differential equation.

Order of a differential equation:

Order of a differential equation is defined as the order of the highest order derivative of the dependent
variable with respect to the independent variable involved in the given differential equation.

𝟒
𝒅𝟑 𝒚 𝒅𝟐 𝒚
Consider the following differential equations: ( ) + 𝒙𝟐 ( ) =𝟓
𝒅𝒙𝟑 𝒅𝒙𝟐

The equation involves the highest derivative of third order. Therefore, the order of this differential equation
is 3.

Degree of a differential equation:

The degree of a differential equation is defined only when a differential equation is polynomial equation in
derivatives, i.e., y′, y″, y″′ etc.

By the degree of a differential equation, when it is a polynomial equation in derivatives, we mean the
highest power (positive integral index) of the highest order derivative involved in the given differential
equation.

𝟐
𝒅𝟑 𝒚 𝒅𝟐 𝒚 𝒅𝒚
Consider the following differential equation: 𝒅𝒙𝟑
+ 𝟐 (𝒅𝒙𝟐 ) − 𝒅𝒙 + 𝒚 = 𝟎

We observe that equation is a polynomial equation in y″′, y″ and y′. Degree of such differential equations can
be defined. In view of the above definition, one may observe that above differential equation is of degree
one.

We observe that above equation is a polynomial equation in y′ (not a polynomial in y though). Degree of such
differential equations can be defined. One may observe that above differential equation is of degree two.

General and Particular Solutions of a Differential Equation

𝒅𝟐 𝒚
consider the differential equation +𝒚=𝟎
𝒅𝒙𝟐

The solution of this differential equation is a function φ that will satisfy it i.e., when the function φ is
substituted for the unknown y (dependent variable) in the given differential equation, L.H.S. becomes equal
to R.H.S.

General solution : The solution which contains arbitrary constants is called the general solution (primitive)
of the differential equation.

Chapter 10 – VECTOR ALGEBRA

Some Basic Concepts
Vector quantity: A quantity that has magnitude as well as direction is called a vector quantity .
̅̅̅̅ or simply as 𝑎⃗ , and read as ‘vector 𝐴𝐵
Notice that a directed line segment is a vector , denoted as 𝐴𝐵 ̅̅̅̅ ’
or ‘vector 𝑎⃗ ’.

̅̅̅̅ starts is called its initial point, and the point B where it ends is called
The point A from where the vector 𝐴𝐵
its terminal point.

The distance between initial and terminal points of a vector is called the magnitude (or length) of the vector,
̅̅̅̅| or |𝑎⃗| or 𝑎 .
denoted as |𝐴𝐵

The arrow indicates the direction of the vector.

Position Vector

The vector ̅̅̅̅

𝑂𝑃 having O and P as its initial and terminal points, respectively, is called the position vector of
the point P with respect to O.

̅̅̅̅ (or 𝑟⃗ ) is given by

the magnitude of 𝑂𝑃 ̅̅̅̅| = √𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 + 𝑧 2
| 𝑂𝑃

In practice, the position vectors of points A, B, C, etc., with respect to the origin O are denoted by 𝑎⃗, 𝑏⃗⃗, 𝑐⃗
etc., respectively.
 71

Types of Vectors:
Zero Vector : A vector whose initial and terminal points coincide, is called a zero vector (or null vector), and
denoted as ⃗0⃗. Zero vector can not be assigned a definite direction as it has zero magnitude. Or, alternatively
otherwise, it may be regarded as having any direction. The vectors ̅̅̅̅
𝐴𝐴 and ̅̅̅̅
𝐵𝐵 represent the zero vector.

Unit Vector : A vector whose magnitude is unity (i.e., 1 unit) is called a unit vector. The unit vector in the
direction of a given vector 𝑎⃗ is denoted by 𝑎̂ .

Coinitial Vectors : Two or more vectors having the same initial point are called coinitial vectors.

Collinear Vectors: Two or more vectors are said to be collinear if they are parallel to the same line,
irrespective of their magnitudes and directions.

Equal Vectors: Two vectors 𝑎⃗ and 𝑏⃗⃗ are said to be equal, if they have the same magnitude and direction
regardless of the positions of their initial points, and written as 𝑎⃗ = 𝑏⃗⃗.

Negative of a Vector: A vector whose magnitude is the same as that of a given vector (say 𝐴𝐵 ̅̅̅̅, ), but
̅̅̅̅ vector is negative of
direction is opposite to that of it, is called negative of the given vector. For example, 𝐵𝐴
̅̅̅̅ vector , and written as 𝐵𝐴
the 𝐴𝐵 ̅̅̅̅= – 𝐴𝐵
̅̅̅̅.

Addition of Vectors
Triangle law of vector addition:

⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ + 𝐵𝐶
𝐴𝐵 ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗ = 𝐴𝐶
⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗

parallelogram law of vector addition:

If we have two vectors 𝑎⃗ and 𝑏⃗⃗ represented by the two adjacent sides of a parallelogram in magnitude and
direction , then their sum 𝑎⃗ + 𝑏⃗⃗ is represented in magnitude and direction by the diagonal of the parallelogram
through their common point. This is known as the parallelogram law of vector addition.
 72

Properties of vector addition :

• vector addition is Commutative i.e. 𝑎⃗ + 𝑏⃗⃗ = 𝑏⃗⃗ + 𝑎⃗

• vector addition is Associative i.e. ( 𝑎⃗ + 𝑏⃗⃗) + 𝑐⃗ = 𝑎⃗ +( 𝑏⃗⃗ + 𝑐⃗ )
• The associative property of vector addition enables us to write the sum of three vectors without
using brackets.
• The zero vector⃗⃗⃗0⃗ is called the additive identity for the vector addition.
Note that for any vector 𝑎⃗, we have : 𝑎⃗ + ⃗⃗⃗0⃗ = ⃗⃗⃗0⃗ + 𝑎⃗ = 𝑎⃗
Multiplication of a Vector by a Scalar

⃗⃗ be a given vector and λ a scalar. Then the product of the vector by the scalar λ, denoted as λ𝒂
Let 𝒂 ⃗⃗ , is called
the multiplication of vector by the scalar λ.

⃗⃗ has the direction same (or opposite) to that of vector according as the value of λ is positive (or
The vector λ𝒂
negative).

⃗⃗ is |λ| times the magnitude of the vector 𝒂

The magnitude of vector λ𝒂 ⃗⃗ , i.e | λ𝒂
⃗⃗|=|λ||𝒂
⃗⃗|

Negative (or additive inverse) of vector : . The vector –𝒂 ⃗⃗ is called the negative (or additive inverse) of vector
⃗⃗ and we always have
𝒂 ⃗⃗) + 𝑎⃗ = ⃗⃗⃗0⃗
⃗⃗) = ( – 𝒂
𝑎⃗ +( – 𝒂

component form of a vector: The position vector of P with reference to O is given by

𝑂𝑃 (or 𝑟⃗ )=𝑥 𝑖̂ + 𝑦 𝑗̂ + 𝑧 𝑘̂

𝑏1 𝑏2 𝑏3
• If 𝑎⃗ = 𝑎1 𝑖̂ + 𝑎2 𝑗̂ + 𝑎3 𝑘̂ , then 𝑎1 , 𝑎2 , 𝑎3 are also called direction ratios of 𝑎⃗ .

Chapter 12. LINEAR PROGRAMMING PROBLEMS

Formulae/Important Points

• Linear Programming Problem: A linear programming problem is one in which we have

to find optimal value (maximum or minimum) of a linear function of several variables
(called objective function) subject to certain conditions that the variables are non-
negative and satisfying by a set of linear inequalities with variables, are sometimes
called division variables.
• Terms related to Linear Programming
Objective Function: A linear function z = px + qy (p and q are constants) which has to
be maximised or minimised, is called an objective function.
• Feasible Region: The common region determined by all the constraints including non-
negative constraints 𝑥, 𝑦 ≥ 0 of a linear programming problem is called the feasible
region for the problem. The region other than the feasible region is called an infeasible
region. The feasible region is always a convex polygon.
• Optimal Feasible Solution: Any point in the feasible region that gives the optimal value
of the objective function is called the optimal feasible solution.
• Bounded and Unbounded Region: A feasible region of a system of linear inequalities
is said to be bounded, if it can be enclosed within a circle. Otherwise, it is called
unbounded.
• Fundamental Theorems for Solving Linear Programming
Theorem 1: Let R be the feasible region for a linear programming problem and let z = ax
+ by be the objective function. When z has an optimal value (maximum or minimum),
where the variables x and y are subject to constraints described by linear inequalities.
This optimal value must occur at a corner point (vertex) of the feasible region.
Note: A corner point of a feasible region is a point in the region which is the intersection
of two boundary lines.
• Theorem 2: Let R be the feasible region for a linear programming problem and let z = ax
+ by be the objective function. If R is bounded, then z has both a maximum and a
minimum value on R and each of these recurs at a corner point of JR.
Note: Maximum or a minimum may not exist,- if the feasible region is unbounded.
 92

• Steps for Applying Corner Point Method

Find the feasible region of the linear programming problem and determine its corner
points either by inspection or by solving the two equations of the lines intersecting at that
point.

• Evaluate the objective function z = ax + by at each corner point. Let M and m be,
respectively denote the largest and the smallest values of these points.

• If the feasible region is bounded, then M and m respectively are the maximum and
minimum values of the objective function at corner points.

• If the feasible region is unbounded , then

(a) M is the maximum value of objective function z, if the open half plane determined by
ax + by > M has no point in common with the feasible region. Otherwise, z has no
maximum value.
(b) m is the minimum value of z, if the open half plane determined by ax + by < m has no
point in common with the feasible region. Otherwise, z has no minimum value.

• If two corner points of the feasible region are both optimal solutions of the same type, i.e
both produce the same maximum or minimum, then any point on the line segment joining
these two points is also an optimal solution of the same type.
