Relations

In the realm of mathematics, Relations serve as the bridges that connect elements from diverse sets. These connections can be depicted through various methods including sets of ordered pairs, matrices, or even graphical illustrations. Specific types of relations, such as equivalence and ordering relations, exhibit unique properties that are widely applied across multiple mathematical disciplines.

Determining if the Relation is a Function

Determine whether the following relation is a function: \( \{ (1,2), (2,3), (3,4), (4,2), (5,2) \} \)

Finding the Domain and Range of the Relation

Find the domain and range of the relation \(y = \frac{1}{x}\)

Finding the Inverse of the Relation

Find the inverse of the relation \(y = 3x + 2\).

Finding the Inverse

Find the inverse of the relation \( y = 2x^3 + 3 \)

Determining if One Relation is the Inverse of Another

Determine if the relation \(y = 3x - 2\) is the inverse of the relation \(x = \frac{y + 2}{3}\).

Determining if Surjective (Onto)

Let's say we have a function \(f: R \rightarrow R\) defined as \(f(x) = 3x - 7\). Is the function surjective (onto)?

Determining if Injective (One to One)

Determine if the relation \(f(x) = 3x^2 - 2x + 1\) is injective (one-to-one).
