1. Relations and Functions
Concepts of relations on sets, types of relations, classification of functions, composition of functions, invertible functions, and binary operations.
1.1 Relations and Types
🔹 Empty Relation: \(R = \emptyset \subset A \times A\)
🔹 Universal Relation: \(R = A \times A\)
🔹 Identity Relation: \(I_A = \{(a, a) : a \in A\}\)
🔹 Reflexive Relation: If \((a, a) \in R\) for every \(a \in A\).
🔹 Symmetric Relation: If \((a, b) \in R \implies (b, a) \in R\) for all \(a, b \in A\).
🔹 Transitive Relation: If \((a, b) \in R\) and \((b, c) \in R \implies (a, c) \in R\).
🔹 Equivalence Relation: A relation that is Reflexive, Symmetric, and Transitive simultaneously.
1.2 Functions and Types
| Type of Function | Mathematical Definition | Example |
|---|---|---|
| One-One (Injective) | \(f(x_1) = f(x_2) \implies x_1 = x_2\) | \(f(x) = 2x + 3\) |
| Many-One | Distinct domain elements map to the same image. | \(f(x) = x^2\) |
| Onto (Surjective) | Range = Codomain (Every element in B has a pre-image in A). | \(f(x) = x^3\) |
| Into Function | At least one element in B has no pre-image in A. | \(f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}, f(x) = x^2\) |
| Bijective | Both One-One and Onto. | \(f(x) = 3x - 5\) |
| Even Function | \(f(-x) = f(x)\) (Symmetric about y-axis) | \(f(x) = \cos x, x^2\) |
| Odd Function | \(f(-x) = -f(x)\) (Symmetric about origin) | \(f(x) = \sin x, x^3\) |
If \(f: A \to B\) and \(g: B \to C\), the composite function \((g \circ f): A \to C\) is defined as: $(g \circ f)(x) = g(f(x)), \quad \forall x \in A$ Note: Generally, \(f \circ g \neq g \circ f\).
A function \(f: A \to B\) is invertible if and only if \(f\) is Bijective. There exists a unique function \(g: B \to A\) such that: $f(x) = y \iff g(y) = x \implies f^{-1}(y) = x$ Properties: \((f^{-1})^{-1} = f\), and \((g \circ f)^{-1} = f^{-1} \circ g^{-1}\).
A binary operation \(*\) on set \(A\) is a function \(*: A \times A \to A\).
🔹 Commutative: \(a * b = b * a\)
🔹 Associative: \((a * b) * c = a * (b * c)\)
🔹 Identity Element: \(a * e = e * a = a\)
🔹 Inverse Element: \(a * b = b * a = e \implies b = a^{-1}\)

$2\tan^{-1}x = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2x}{1+x^2}\right) = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1-x^2}{1+x^2}\right) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2x}{1-x^2}\right)$ $\sin^{-1}x \pm \sin^{-1}y = \sin^{-1}\left(x\sqrt{1-y^2} \pm y\sqrt{1-x^2}\right)$ $\cos^{-1}x \pm \cos^{-1}y = \cos^{-1}\left(xy \mp \sqrt{1-x^2}\sqrt{1-y^2}\right)$
3. Matrices
Rectangular arrays of numbers/functions, types of matrices, matrix algebra, transpose, symmetric, skew-symmetric matrices, and inverse matrix.
3.1 Types & Matrix Operations
Types: Row matrix (\(1 \times n\)), Column matrix (\(m \times 1\)), Zero matrix (\(O\)), Square matrix (\(n \times n\)), Diagonal, Scalar, Identity matrix (\(I_n\)).
Defined for matrices of identical order: $\begin{pmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} \end{pmatrix} \pm \begin{pmatrix} b_{11} & b_{12} \\ b_{21} & b_{22} \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} a_{11}\pm b_{11} & a_{12}\pm b_{12} \\ a_{21}\pm b_{21} & a_{22}\pm b_{22} \end{pmatrix}$
If \(A\) has order \(m \times n\) and \(B\) has order \(n \times p\), product \(AB\) has order \(m \times p\): $\begin{pmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} b_{11} & b_{12} \\ b_{21} & b_{22} \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} a_{11}b_{11} + a_{12}b_{21} & a_{11}b_{12} + a_{12}b_{22} \\ a_{21}b_{11} + a_{22}b_{21} & a_{21}b_{12} + a_{22}b_{22} \end{pmatrix}$ Note: Matrix multiplication is non-commutative in general (\(AB \neq BA\)).
Interchanging rows and columns.
🔹 Properties: \((A^T)^T = A, \quad (kA)^T = k A^T, \quad (A+B)^T = A^T + B^T, \quad (AB)^T = B^T A^T\)
🔹 Symmetric Matrix: \(A^T = A\)
🔹 Skew-Symmetric Matrix: \(A^T = -A\) (Main diagonal elements are zero).
🔹 Any square matrix can be expressed as: $A = \frac{1}{2}(A + A^T) + \frac{1}{2}(A - A^T)$
4. Determinants
Scalar values associated with square matrices, properties of determinants, minors, cofactors, adjoint, inverse matrix, and solving system of linear equations.
4.1 Evaluation & Properties
$\begin{vmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{vmatrix} = ad - bc$ $\begin{vmatrix} a_1 & b_1 & c_1 \\ a_2 & b_2 & c_2 \\ a_3 & b_3 & c_3 \end{vmatrix} = a_1(b_2c_3 - b_3c_2) - b_1(a_2c_3 - a_3c_2) + c_1(a_2b_3 - a_3b_2)$
🔹 Interchanging rows and columns leaves the value unchanged (\(|A^T| = |A|\)).
🔹 Interchanging any two rows or columns reverses the sign.
🔹 If any two rows/columns are identical, the determinant is \(0\).
🔹 Multiplying a row/column by scalar \(k\) multiplies determinant by \(k\) (\(|kA| = k^n |A|\)).
🔹 Property: \(|AB| = |A| \cdot |B|\).
For vertices \((x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2), (x_3, y_3)\): $\Delta = \frac{1}{2} |x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)|$
🔹 Minor \(M_{ij}\), Cofactor \(A_{ij} = (-1)^{i+j} M_{ij}\)
🔹 Adjoint (\(\text{adj}\,A\)): Transpose of cofactor matrix.
🔹 Inverse Matrix Formula: $A^{-1} = \frac{\text{adj}(A)}{|A|}, \quad (|A| \neq 0)$ 🔹 Key result: \(A \cdot (\text{adj}\,A) = |A| I_n\), and \(|\text{adj}\,A| = |A|^{n-1}\).
\(AX = B \implies X = A^{-1} B\).
🔹 If \(|A| \neq 0 \implies\) Unique solution (Consistent system).
🔹 If \(|A| = 0\) and \((\text{adj}\,A)B \neq 0 \implies\) No solution (Inconsistent system).
🔹 If \(|A| = 0\) and \((\text{adj}\,A)B = 0 \implies\) Infinitely many solutions.
