Question 11 Mark
Let $\text{R}=\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x, y}\in\text{Z},\text{y}=2\text{x}-4\}.$ If (a, -2) and $(4,\text{b}^2)\in\text{R},$ then write the values of a and b.

View full question & answer→We have,
$\text{R}=\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x, y}\in\text{Z},\text{y}=2\text{x}-4\}$
Now,
y = 2x - 4
Putting y = -2 and x = a, we get
-2 = 2a - 4
⇒ 4 - 2 = 2a
⇒ 2 = 2a
⇒ 2a = 2
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=\frac{2}{2}=1$
Putting y = b2 and x = 4, we get
b2 = 2 × 4 - 4
⇒ b2 = 8 - 4
⇒ b2 = 4
$\Rightarrow\text{b}=\pm2$
Hence, $\text{a}=1,\text{b}=\pm2$
$\text{R}=\{(\text{x, y}):\text{x, y}\in\text{Z},\text{y}=2\text{x}-4\}$
