If R2 = {(x, y) | x and y are integers and x2 + y2 = 64} is a relation. Then find R2.
Given: R2 = {(x, y) | x and y are integers and x2 + y2 = 64} is a relation
To find: R2
Explanation: Given R2 = {(x, y) | x and y are integers and x2 + y2 = 64}
This means set R2 contains all whole numbers such that the relation between the elements of the set satisfy the condition x2 + y2 = 64, so
x2 + y2 = 64
⇒ y2 = 64- x2
![]()
This is possible only when
64-x2≥0
⇒ 64≥ x2
⇒ x2≤64
Taking square root on both sides, we get
⇒ x≤±√64
⇒ x≤±8
i.e., -8≤x≤8
So, x ∈ [-8,8]
Now for corresponding values of x, y becomes
When x = ±8

So, two of the elements of R2 = (-8, 0), (8, 0)
When x = ±7

Now as y is an integer, so x cannot take values, ±7
When x = ±6

Now as y is an integer, so x cannot take values, ±4

Now as y is an integer, so x cannot take values, ±3
When x = ±2

Now as y is an integer, so x cannot take values, ±2
When x = ±1

Now as y is an integer, so x cannot take values, ±5
When x = 0

So, two of the element of R2 = (0, 8), (0, -8)
Hence complete set is
R2 = {(0, 8), (0, -8), (-8,0), (8, 0)}
