what does relation in math mean? I don't understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@terenzreignz @Callisto @Yahoo!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Relation is a subset of A X B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and what is A and B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A and B are any two sets

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A= { 1 , 2 , 3 ,4 } B = { 5 , 6 , 7 , 8}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so if they say: discuss the domain and range of each relation whose defining rule is: y=3x+1 what do they mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Domian is wat we give and Range is wat we get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know, domain is inputs and range is outputs..

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Say the relation is from set A to B. The domain is the set of all elements in A that are related to some element in B. The range is the set of all elements in B that some element in A is related to :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Give me some EG: i will show u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did: discuss the domain and range of each relation whose defining rule is: y=3x+1 what do they mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Domain is wat we give For this eq 3x + 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we can give any values for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

becoz there is no condition such as sqrt ,, or rational function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay :) thx ^^ so i just need to find the range and domain for whatever equation they give me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

values of x and y which apply..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so if i am given an inequality: \[\left\{\begin{matrix} 2x+y<1\\ x>1 \end{matrix}\right.\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would i find the y values? @Yahoo!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug in values for x .... x>1 and see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=2 then y < -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so wat u can get frm this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the answer in the book: \[\begin{Bmatrix} y\mid y<1 \end{Bmatrix}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 + y <1 y = -4, -5 , -6................

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how come the books answer y can be 0,-1.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just a min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x> 1 take 1.1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.2 + y <1 y = -2.2 ,........

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, sorry but i still don't understand..thank you for the help though :) i'll just ask my teacher later

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am sorry....i was not able to expl this clearly to u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just a min i will call some other persons

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@shubhamsrg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@experimentX

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you for the help @Yahoo! , @waterineyes can you help please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In finding that inequality ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know, I still don't understand what a relation is..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My concepts on defining a relation are relation are also weak..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay, thank you for trying :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ujjwal @amistre64 @supercrazy92

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know about sets ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

You still here? I got real tired last time, I'm sorry... Maybe we can work backwards, do you know what a function is?
