INTRODUCTION

Relations and Functions


Relations and Functions in real life give us the link between any two
entities. In our daily life, we come across many patterns and links that
characterize relations such as a relation between a father and a son,
brother and sister, etc. In mathematics also, we come across many
relations between numbers such as a number x is less than y, line l is
parallel to line m, etc. Relation and function map elements of one set
(domain) to the elements of another set (codomain).
Functions are nothing but special types of relations that define the precise
correspondence between one quantity with the other. In this article, we will
study how to link pairs of elements from two sets and then define a relation
between them, different types of relations and functions, and the difference
between relation and function.

Explanation of the topic
Relation and Function

Relation and function individually are defined as:


 Relations - A relation R from a non-empty A to a non-empty set B is
a subset of the cartesian product A × B. The subset is derived by
describing a relationship between the first element and the
second element of the ordered pairs in A × B.
 Functions - A relation f from a set A to a set B is said to be
a function if every element of set A has one and only one image in
set B. In other words, no two distinct elements of B have the
same pre-image.
