RELATIONS AND
FUNCTIONS
Introduction
Finding Patterns
Mathematics helps us find
recognizable links between
changing quantities.
Daily Relations
We encounter many
relations like brother-sister,
teacher-student, or number
m is less than number n.
Mathematical Precision
Functions capture
mathematically precise
correspondences between
quantities.

Cartesian Products of Sets
Definition
A set of all possible ordered
pairs formed from elements of
two sets.
Example
A = {red, blue} and B = {b, c, s}
forms six pairs: (red, b), (red, c),
(red, s), (blue, b), (blue, c), (blue,
s).
Ordered Pairs
Elements grouped in a specific
order (p,q), where p * P and q
* Q.

Definition of Cartesian
Product
1
Formal Definition
P × Q = {(p,q) : p * P ,
q * Q}
2
Empty Set
Property
If either P or Q is
empty, then P × Q
will also be empty.

License Plate Example
A = {DL, MP , KA} and B = {01, 02, 03} creates nine
possible codes.

Visualizing the Cartesian Product
The order in pairs matters. For sets A = {a ¡, a ¢} and B = {b ¡, b ¢, b £, b ¤}, we get 8 distinct ordered pairs.
These pairs can represent positions in a plane if A and B are subsets of real numbers.
