Define a function as a set of ordered pairs.
Function as a set of ordered pairs: A function is a set of ordered pairs with the property that no two ordered pairs have the same first component and a different second component.
The domain of a function is the set of all first components, x, in the ordered pairs and the range of a function is the set of all second components, y, in the ordered pairs.
For. e.g. {(1,x), (2,y), (3,z)} is a function, since there are no two pairs with the same first component.
Here, Domain is {1, 2, 3} and Range is {x, y, z}
Define a function as a correspondence between two sets.
Function as a correspondence between two sets: Let A and B be two non – empty sets. Then, a function ‘f’ from set A to set B is a correspondence (rule) which associates elements of set A to elements of set B such that:
(i) all elements of set A are associated with an element in set B.
(ii) an element of set A is associated with a unique element in set B.
What is the fundamental difference between a relation and function? Is every relation a function?
Fundamental difference between Relation and Function:
Every function is a relation, but every relation need not be a function.
A relation f from A to B is called a function if
(i) Dom(f) = A
(ii) no two different ordered pairs in f have the same first component.
For. e.g.
Let A = {a, b, c, d} and B = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Some relations f, g and h are defined as follows:
f = {(a, 1), (b, 2), (c, 3), (d, 4)}
g = {(a, 1), (b, 3), (c, 5)}
h = {(a, 1), (b, 2), (b, 3), (c, 4), (d, 5)}
In the relation f,
(i) Dom (f) = A
(ii) All first components are different.
So, f is a function.
In the relation g,
(i) Dom (g) ≠ A
So, the condition is not satisfied. Thus, g is not a function.
In the relation h,
(i) Dom (h) = A
(i) Two first components are the same, i.e. b has two different images.
So, h is not a function.
No, every relation is not a function.
Let X = {1, 2, 3, 4,}, Y = {1, 5, 9, 11, 15, 16} and F = {(1, 5), (2, 9), (3, 1), (4, 5), (2, 11)}.
Are the following true?
(i) F is a relation from X to Y (ii) F is a function from X to Y. Justify your answer in following true?
X = {1, 2, 3, 4} and Y = {1, 5, 9, 11, 15, 16}
and F = {(1, 5), (2, 9), (3, 1), (4, 5), (2, 11)}
(i) To show: F is a relation from X to Y
First elements in F = 1, 2, 3, 4
All the first elements are in Set X
So, the first element is from set X
Second elements in F = 5, 9, 1, 11
All the second elements are in Set Y
So, the second element is from set Y
Since the first element is from set X and the second element is from set Y
Hence, F is a relation from X to Y.
(ii) To show: F is a function from X to Y
Function:
(i) all elements of the first set are associated with the elements of the second set.
(ii) An element of the first set has a unique image in the second set.
F = {(1, 5), (2, 9), (3, 1), (4, 5), (2, 11)}
Here, 2 is coming twice.
Hence, it does not have a unique (one) image.
So, it is not a function.
Let X = {-1, 0, 3, 7, 9} and f : X → R : f(x) x3 + 1. Express the function f as set of ordered pairs.
Given: f: X → R, f(x) = x3 + 1
Here, X = {-1, 0, 3, 7, 9}
For x = -1
f(-1) = (-1)3 + 1 = -1 + 1 = 0
For x = 0
f(0) = (0)3 + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1
For x = 3
f(3) = (3)3 + 1 = 27 + 1 = 28
For x = 7
f(7) = (7)3 + 1 = 343 + 1 = 344
For x = 9
f(9) = (9)3 + 1 = 729 + 1 = 730
∴ the ordered pairs are (-1, 0), (0, 1), (3, 28), (7, 344), (9, 730)
Let A = {–1, 0, 1, 2} and B = {2, 3, 4, 5}. Find which of the following are function from A to B. Give reason.
(i) f = {(–1, 2), (-1, 3), (0, 4), 1,5)}
(ii) g = {(0, 2), (1, 3), (2, 4)}
(iii) h = {(-1, 2), (0, 3), (1, 4), (2, 5)}
(i) Given: A = {-1, 0, 1, 2} and B = {2, 3, 4, 5}
Function:
(i) all elements of the first set are associated with the elements of the second set.
(ii) An element of the first set has a unique image in the second set.
f = {(–1, 2), (-1, 3), (0, 4), (1, 5)}
Here, -1 is coming twice.
Hence, it does not have a unique (one) image.
∴ f is not a function
(ii) Given: A = {-1, 0, 1, 2} and B = {2, 3, 4, 5}
Function:
(i) all elements of first set is associated with the elements of second set.
(ii) An element of first set has a unique image in second set.
g = {(0, 2), (1, 3), (2, 4)}
Here, -1 is not associated with any element of set B
Hence, it does not satisfy the condition of the function
∴ g is not a function.
(iii) Given: A = {-1, 0, 1, 2} and B = {2, 3, 4, 5}
Function:
(i) all elements of first set is associated with the elements of second set.
(ii) An element of first set has a unique image in second set.
h = {(-1, 2), (0, 3), (1, 4), (2, 5)}
Here, (i) all elements of set A are associated to element in set B.
(ii) an element of set A is associated to a unique element in set B.
∴ h is a function.
Let A = {1, 2} and B = {2, 4, 6}. Let f = {(x, y) : x ϵ A, y ϵ B and y > 2x + 1}. Write f as a set of ordered pairs. Show that f is a relation but not a function from A to B.
Given: A = {1, 2} and B = {2, 4, 6}
f = {(x, y): x ∈ A, y ∈ B and y > 2x + 1}
Putting x = 1 in y > 2x + 1, we get
y > 2(1) + 1
⇒ y > 3
and y ∈ B
this means y = 4, 6 if x = 1 because it satisfies the condition y > 3
Putting x = 2 in y > 2x + 1, we get
y > 2(2) + 1
⇒ y > 5
this means y = 6 if x = 2 because it satisfies the condition y > 5.
∴ f = {(1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 6)}
(1, 2), (2, 2), (2, 4) are not the members of ‘f’ because they do not satisfy the given condition y > 2x + 1
Firstly, we have to show that f is a relation from A to B.
First elements = 1, 2
All the first elements are in Set A
So, the first element is from set A
Second elements in F = 4, 6
All the second elements are in Set B
So, the second element is from set B
Since the first element is from set A and second element is from set B
Hence, F is a relation from A to B.
Function:
(i) all elements of the first set are associated with the elements of the second set.
(ii) An element of the first set has a unique image in the second set.
Now, we have to show that f is not a function from A to B
f = {(1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 6)}
Here, 1 is coming twice.
Hence, it does not have a unique (one) image.
So, it is not a function.
Let A = {0, 1, 2} and B = {3, 5, 7, 9}. Let f = {(x, y) : x ϵ A, y ϵ B and y = 2x + 3}. Write f as a set of ordered pairs. Show that f is function from A to B. Find dom (f) and range (f).
Given: A = {0, 1, 2} and B = {3, 5, 7, 9}
f = {(x, y): x ∈ A, y ∈ B and y = 2x + 3}
For x = 0
y = 2x + 3
y = 2(0) + 3
y = 3 ∈ B
For x = 1
y = 2x + 3
y = 2(1) + 3
y = 5 ∈ B
For x = 2
y = 2x + 3
y = 2(2) + 3
y = 7 ∈ B
∴ f = {(0, 3), (1, 5), (2, 7)}
(0, 5), (0, 7), (0, 9), (1, 3), (1, 7), (1, 9), (2, 3), (2, 5), (2, 9) are not the members of ‘f’ because they are not satisfying the given condition y = 2x + 3
Now, we have to show that f is a function from A to B
Function:
(i) all elements of the first set are associated with the elements of the second set.
(ii) An element of the first set has a unique image in the second set.
f = {(0, 3), (1, 5), (2, 7)}
Here, (i) all elements of set A are associated with an element in set B.
(ii) an element of set A is associated with a unique element in set B.
∴ f is a function.
Dom (f) = 0, 1, 2
Range (f) = 3, 5, 7
Let A = {2, 3, 5, 7} and B = {3, 5, 9, 13, 15}. Let f = {(x, y) : x ϵ A, y ϵ B and y = 2x – 1}. Write f in roster form. Show that f is a function from A to B. Find the domain and range of f.
Given: A = {2, 3, 5, 7} and B = {3, 5, 9, 13, 15}
f = {(x, y): x ∈ A, y ∈ B and y = 2x – 1}
For x = 2
y = 2x – 1
y = 2(2) – 1
y = 3 ∈ B
For x = 3
y = 2x – 1
y = 2(3) – 1
y = 5 ∈ B
For x = 5
y = 2x – 1
y = 2(5) – 1
y = 9 ∈ B
For x = 7
y = 2x – 1
y = 2(7) – 1
y = 13 ∈ B
∴ f = {(2, 3), (3, 5), (5, 9), (7, 13)}
Now, we have to show that f is a function from A to B
Function:
(i) all elements of the first set are associated with the elements of the second set.
(ii) An element of the first set has a unique image in the second set.
f = {(2, 3), (3, 5), (5, 9), (7, 13)}
Here, (i) all elements of set A are associated with an element in set B.
(ii) an element of set A is associated with a unique element in set B.
∴ f is a function.
Dom (f) = 2, 3, 5, 7
Range (f) = 3, 5, 9, 13
Let g = {(1, 2), (2, 5), (3, 8), (4, 10), (5, 12), (6, 12)}. Is g a function? If yes, its domain range. If no, give reason.
Given:
g = {(1, 2), (2, 5), (3, 8), (4, 10), (5, 12), (6, 12)}
We know that,
A function ‘f’ from set A to set B is a correspondence (rule) which associates elements of set A to elements of set B such that:
(i) all elements of set A are associated with an element in set B.
(ii) an element of set A is associated with a unique element in set B
Here, we observe that each element of the given set has appeared as the first component in one and only one ordered pair in ‘g.’ So, g is a function in the given set.
Dom (g) = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Range (g) = 2, 5, 8, 10, 12
Let f = {(0, -5), (1, -2), (3, 4), (4, 7)} be a linear function from Z into Z. Write an expression for f.
Given that: f = {(0, -5), (1, -2), (3, 4), (4, 7)} be a function from Z to Z defined by linear function.
We know that, linear functions are of the form y = mx + b
Let f(x) = ax + b, for some integers a, b
Here, (0, -5) ∈ f
⇒ f(0) = -5
⇒ a(0) + b = -5
⇒ b = -5 …(i)
Similarly, (1, -2) ∈ f
⇒ f(1) = -2
⇒ a(1) + b = -2
⇒ a + b = -2
⇒ a + (-5) = -2 [from (i)]
⇒ a = -2 + 5
⇒ a = 3
∴ f(x) = ax + b
= 3x + (-5)
f(x) = 3x - 5
Given: f(x) = x2
To find: …(i)
Firstly, we find the f(5)
Putting the value of x = 5 in the given eq., we get
f(5) = (5)2
⇒ f(5) = 25
Similarly,
f(1) = (1)2
⇒ f(1) = 1
Putting the value of f(5) and f(1) in eq. (i), we get
Hence, the value of
If f(x) = x2, find the value of .
Given: f(x) = x2
To find: …(i)
Firstly, we find the f(1.1)
Putting the value of x = 1.1 in the given eq., we get
f(1.1) = (1.1)2
⇒ f(1.1) = 1.21
Similarly,
f(1) = (1)2
⇒ f(1) = 1
Putting the value of f(1.1) and f(1) in eq. (i), we get
Hence, the value of
Let X = {12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17} and f : A → Z : f(x) = highest prime factor of x. Find range (f)
Given: f(x) = highest prime factor of x
and since x ∈ A, A = {12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17}
Value of x can only be 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17
Doing prime factorization of the above, we get
Hence, range of f = {2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 17}
Let R+ be the set of all positive real numbers. Let f : R+→ R : f(x) = logex. Find
(i) range (f)
(ii) {x : x ϵ R+ and f(x) = -2}.
(iii) Find out whether f(x + y) = f(x). f(y) for all x, y ϵ R.
Given that f: R+→ R such that f(x) = logex
To find: (i) Range of f
Here, f(x) = logex
We know that the range of a function is the set of images of elements in the domain.
∴ the image set of the domain of f = R
Hence, the range of f is the set of all real numbers.
To find: (ii) {x : x ϵ R+ and f(x) = -2}
We have, f(x) = -2 …(a)
and f(x) = logex …(b)
From eq. (a) and (b), we get
logex = -2
Taking exponential both the sides, we get
⇒ x = e-2
∴{x : x ϵ R+ and f(x) = -2} = {e-2}
To find: (iii) f(xy) = f(x) + f(y) for all x, y ϵ R
We have,
f(xy) = loge(xy)
= loge(x) + loge(y)
[Product Rule for Logarithms]
= f(x) + f(y) [∵f(x) = logex]
∴ f(xy) = f(x) + f(y) holds.
Let f : R → R : f(x) =2x. Find
(i) range (f)
(ii) {x : f(x) = 1}.
(iii) Find out whether f(x + y) = f(x). f(y) for all x, y ϵ R.
Given that f: R → R such that f(x) = 2x
To find: (i) Range of x
Here, f(x) = 2x is a positive real number for every x ∈ R because 2x is positive for every x ∈ R.
Moreover, for every positive real number x , ∃ log2x ∈ R such that
= x
Hence, the range of f is the set of all positive real numbers.
To find: (ii) {x : f(x) = 1}
We have, f(x) = 1 …(a)
and f(x) = 2x …(b)
From eq. (a) and (b), we get
2x = 1
⇒ 2x = 20 [∵ 20 = 1]
Comparing the powers of 2, we get
⇒ x = 0
∴{x : f(x) = 1} = {0}
To find: (iii) f(x + y) = f(x). f(y) for all x, y ϵ R
We have,
f(x + y) = 2x + y
= 2x.2y
[The exponent "product rule" tells us that, when multiplying two powers that have the same base, you can add the exponents or vice - versa]
= f(x).f(y) [∵f(x) = 2x]
∴ f(x + y) = f(x). f(y) holds for all x, y ϵ R
Let f : R → R : f(x) =x2 and g : C → C: g(x) =x2, where C is the set of all complex numbers. Show that f ≠ g.
It is given that f : R → R and g : C → C
Thus, Domain (f) = R and Domain (g) = C
We know that, Real numbers ≠ Complex Number
∵, Domain (f) ≠ Domain (g)
∴ f(x) and g(x) are not equal functions
∴ f ≠ g
f, g and h are three functions defined from R to R as following:
(i) f(x) = x2
(ii) g(x) = x2 + 1
(iii) h(x) = sin x
That, find the range of each function.
(i) f: R → R such that f(x) = x2
Since the value of x is squared, f(x) will always be equal or greater than 0.
∴ the range is [0, ∞)
(ii) g: R → R such that g(x) = x2 + 1
Since, the value of x is squared and also adding with 1, g(x) will always be equal or greater than 1.
∴ Range of g(x) = [1, ∞)
(iii) h: R → R such that h(x) = sin x
We know that, sin (x) always lies between -1 to 1
∴ Range of h(x) = (-1, 1)
Let f : R → R : f(x) = x2 + 1. Find
(i) f–1 {10}
(ii) f–1 {–3}.
Given: f(x) = x2 + 1
To find: (i) f-1{10}
We know that, if f: X → Y such that y ∈ Y. Then f-1(y) = {x ∈ X: f(x) = y}.
In other words, f-1(y) is the set of pre – images of y
Let f-1{10} = x. Then, f(x) = 10 …(i)
and it is given that f(x) = x2 + 1 …(ii)
So, from (i) and (ii), we get
x2 + 1 = 10
⇒ x2 = 10 – 1
⇒ x2 = 9
⇒ x = √9
⇒ x = ± 3
∴ f-1{10} = {-3, 3}
To find: (ii) f-1{-3}
Let f-1{-3} = x. Then, f(x) = -3 …(iii)
and it is given that f(x) = x2 + 1 …(iv)
So, from (iii) and (iv), we get
x2 + 1 = -3
⇒ x2 = -3 – 1
⇒ x2 = -4
Clearly, this equation is not solvable in R
∴ f-1{-3} = ɸ
The function is the formula to convert x °C to Fahrenheit units. Find
(i) F(0),
(ii) F(–10),
(iii) The value of x when f(x) = 212.
Interpret the result in each case.
Given: …(i)
To find: (i) F(0)
Substituting the value of x = 0 in eq. (i), we get
⇒ F(0) = 32
It means 0° C = 32° F
To find: (ii) F(-10)
Substituting the value of x = -10 in eq. (i), we get
⇒ F(-10) = 9 × (-2) + 32
⇒ F(-10) = -18 + 32
⇒ f(-10) = 14
It means -10° C = 14° F
To find: (iii) the value of x when F(x) = 212
It is given that
Substituting the value of F(x) = 212 in the above equation, we get
⇒ x = 20 × 5
⇒ x = 100
It means 212°F = 100°C
If f(x) = x2 – 3x + 4 and f(x) = f(2x + 1), find the values of x.
Given: f(x) = x2 – 3x + 4 ----- (1)
and f(x) = f(2x + 1)
Need to Find: Value of x
Replacing x by (2x + 1) in equation (1) we get,
f(2x + 1) = (2x + 1)2 – 3(2x + 1) + 4 ----- (2)
According to the given problem, f(x) = f(2x + 1)
Comparing (1) and (2) we get,
x2 – 3x + 4 = (2x + 1)2 – 3(2x + 1) + 4
⇒ x2 – 3x + 4 = 4x2 + 4x + 1 – 6x – 3 + 4
⇒ 4x2 + 4x + 1 – 6x – 3 + 4 – x2 + 3x – 4 = 0
⇒ 3x2 + x – 2 = 0
⇒ 3x2 + 3x – 2x – 2 = 0
⇒ 3x(x + 1) – 2(x + 1) = 0
⇒ (3x – 2)(x + 1) = 0
So, either (3x – 2) = 0 or (x + 1) = 0
Therefore, the value of x is either or -1 [Answer]

As value of x is variable we take k = -1.
Therefore, k= -1
Find the range of the function, .
|x| is defined as
|x|= x; x>=0
-x; x<0
= ; x>0
= ; x<0
= 1; x >0
= -1; x<0
Hence f(x) gives output values 1 and -1 only.
Range is {1,-1}.
Find the domain of the function, f(x) = log |x|.
log x function has domain .
When x is replaced by |x|, the function f shows value as
f(x) = log(x); x>0
= log(-x); x<0
Hence in the function x cannot be zero as log function is not defined for x=0.
Domain of f(x) is R – {0}
If = for all x ϵ R – {0} then write an expression for f(x).
Given,
Let’s assume that,
⇒ f(t) = t2 – 2
⇒ f(x) = x2 – 2
Write the domain and the range of the function,.
(i) domain
As f(x) is a polynomial function whose domain is R except for the points where the denominator becomes 0.
Hence x≠
Domain is R-{}
(ii) range
Let y=
Y(bx-a) = ax +b
byx -ay = ax + b
byx -ax= ay +b
x(by -a) = ay + b
x =
x is not defined when denominator is zero.
by – a ≠ 0
y≠a/b
Range is R-{a/b}.
Write the domain and the range of the function, f(x) = .
The graph of f(x) is
(i) domain
Domain for is [0, ∞).
Hence, domain for is [1, ∞).
(ii) Range
As the range of function f(x) = √x is given by the interval [0 , +∞).
The graph of the given function f(x) = √x - 1 is the graph of √ x shifted 1 unit to the right. A shift to the right does not affect the range.
Hence the range of f(x) = √x - 1 is also given by the interval: [ 0 , +∞).
Write the domain and the range of the function, f(x) = –|x|.
(i) Domain
|x | is defined for all real values.
Hence -|x| is also defined for all real values.
The domain is R.
(ii) Range
Range for |x| is [0, ∞)
Therefore, range for - |x| is ( -∞,0].
