Let A = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} and let R = {(a, b) : a, b ϵ A and 2a + 3b = 12}.
Express R as a set of ordered pairs. Show that R is a binary relation on A. Find its domain and range.
A = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
2a + 3b = 12
a=0 è b=4
a=3 è b=2
a=6 è b=0
R = {(0, 4), (3, 2), (6, 0)}
Since, R is a subset of A × A, it a relation to A.
The domain of R is the set of first co-ordinates of R
Dom(R) = {0, 3, 6}
The range of R is the set of second co-ordinates of R
Range(R) = {4, 2, 0}
