No CommentsThe Domain of Relations
Description
A detailed tutorial on the domain of relations. Step by step tutorial including several examples of the domain of relations for reference.
Overview
The domain of a relation is denoted as Dom(R) and looks like a normal set. For each ordered pair in a relation, there are two endpoints, x and y. The domain is the set of all x endpoints – that is to say, all the endpoints that come first in the ordered pair. If you are taking the domain of the inverse of a relation, then that would be all the y endpoints. When writing the domain, the notation used is just the normal notation, not the ordered pair notation.
