Miscellaneous Exercise

1. The relation $f$  is defined by $f(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix} {{x}^{2}},0\le x\le 3  \\ 3x,3\le x\le 10  \\ \end{matrix} \right.$

And the relation $g$ is defined by \[g(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix} {{x}^{2}},0\le x\le 2  \\ 3x,2\le x\le 10  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\]

Show that $f$ is a function and $g$ is not a function.

Ans: According to the problem, we have the function $f$ as,

$f(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix} {{x}^{2}},0\le x\le 3  \\ 3x,3\le x\le 10  \\ \end{matrix} \right.$

We can see that, for $x=3$ ,

$f(x)={{3}^{2}}\,=9$ from the first given condition.

And again, $f(x)=3\times 3=9$ from the second condition.

But now, 

\[g(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix} {{x}^{2}},0\le x\le 2  \\ 3x,2\le x\le 10  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\]

We can see that, for $x=2$ ,

$f(x)={{2}^{2}}\,=4$ from the first given condition.

And again, $f(x)=3\times 2=6$ from the second condition.

Thus, the domain of the relation $g$ is having two different images from a single element.

So, it can be concluded that the relation is not a function.


2. If $f(x)={{x}^{2}}$ , find $\dfrac{f(1.1)-f(1)}{(1.1-1)}$ .

Ans: We have the function, $f(x)={{x}^{2}}$ .

So, we will have, 

\[\dfrac{f(1.1)-f(1)}{(1.1-1)}\] equalling to,  

\[\dfrac{{{(1.1)}^{2}}-{{1}^{2}}}{1.1-1}\] , putting the values.

After further simplification,

$\dfrac{1.21-1}{0.1} $

$ =\dfrac{0.21}{0.1}$

$=2.1 $ 


3. Find the domain of the function $f(x)=\dfrac{{{x}^{2}}+2x+1}{{{x}^{2}}-8x+12}$

Ans: According to the problem, we have the given function as,

$f(x)=\dfrac{{{x}^{2}}+2x+1}{{{x}^{2}}-8x+12}$

Let us try to simplify the given function and bring it to a form where we can analyze the problem.

The denominator can be factorized as,

${{x}^{2}}-8x+12$ 

$={{x}^{2}}-6x-2x+12$ 

$=x(x-6)-2(x-6) $ 

$=(x-2)(x-6)$ 

So, we see that the function is defined for every real numbers except $6,2$ .

Thus, the domain of the function will be, $R-\{2,6\}$ 


4. Find the domain and the range of the real function $f$ defined by $f(x)=\sqrt{(x-1)}$.

Ans: We have the given function as, $f(x)=\sqrt{(x-1)}$ .

Clearly, the term inside the root sign must be non-negative.

So, the function is valid for all values of $x\ge 1$ .

Thus, the domain of the function will be, $[1,\infty )$ .

Now, again, for $x\ge 1$, the value of the function will always be greater than or equal to zero.

So, the range of the function is, $[0,\infty )$ .


5. Find the domain and the range of the real function $f$ defined by $f(x)=\left| x-1 \right|$.

Ans: The function which is given is, $f(x)=\left| x-1 \right|$ .

We can clearly see that, the function is well defined for all the real numbers.

Thus, it can be concluded that, the domain of the function is $R$ .

And for every $x\in R$ , the function gives all non-negative real numbers.

So, the range of the function is the set of all non-negative real numbers. i.e, $[0,\infty )$ .

6. Let $f=\left\{ \left( x,\dfrac{{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}} \right):x\in R \right\}$ be a function from $R$ to $R$. Determine the range of $f$ .

Ans: We have our given function as,$f=\left\{ \left( x,\dfrac{{{x}^{2}}}{1+{{x}^{2}}} \right):x\in R \right\}$

Expressing it by term to term, we are getting, 

$f=\left\{ \left( 0,0 \right),\left( \pm 0.5,\dfrac{1}{5} \right),\left( \pm 1,\dfrac{1}{2} \right),\left( \pm 1.5,\dfrac{9}{13} \right),\left( \pm 2,\dfrac{4}{5} \right),\left( 3,\dfrac{9}{10} \right),\left( 4,\dfrac{16}{17} \right),.... \right\}$ 

And we also know, the range of $f$ is the set of all the second elements. We can also see that the terms are greater than or equal to $0$ but less than $1$ .

So, the range of the function is, $[0,1)$ .


7. Let $f,g:R\to R$ be defined, respectively by $f(x)=x+1,g(x)=2x-3$ . Find $f+g,f-g$ and $\dfrac{f}{g}$ .

Ans: We have the functions defined as, $f,g:R\to R$is defined as, $f(x)=x+1,g(x)=2x-3$ .

Thus, the function

$(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)$ 

$=(x+1)+(2x-3)$ 

$=3x-2$ 

So, the function $(f+g)(x)=3x-2$ .

 Again, the function, 

$(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)$ 

$=(x+1)-(2x-3)$ 

$=-x+4$

So, the function $(f-g)(x)=-x+4$.

Similarly, 

$\left( \dfrac{f}{g} \right)(x)=\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ where $g\left( x \right)\ne 0$ and also $x\in R$ .

Now, putting the values, 

$\left( \dfrac{f}{g} \right)(x)=\dfrac{x+1}{2x-3}$ 

where, 

$2x-3\ne 0$ 

$\Rightarrow x\ne \dfrac{3}{2}$ 


8. Let $f=\left\{ \left( 1,1 \right),\left( 2,3 \right),\left( 0,-1 \right),\left( -1,-3 \right) \right\}$ be a function from $Z$ to $Z$ defined by $f(x)=ax+b$ , for some integers $a,b$ . Determine $a,b$ 

Ans: We have the given function as,  $f=\left\{ \left( 1,1 \right),\left( 2,3 \right),\left( 0,-1 \right),\left( -1,-3 \right) \right\}$ and also $f(x)=ax+b$ .

As, $(1,1)\in f$ , we get, 

$a\times 1+b=1$

$\Rightarrow a+b=1$

And again, $(0,-1)\in f$ , from this we can get,

$a\times 0+b=-1$

$\Rightarrow b=-1$ 

Putting this value in the first equation, we have,

$a-1=1$

$\Rightarrow a=2$

So, the value of $a$ and $b$ are respectively, $2,-1$ .


9. Let $R$ be a relation from $N$ to $N$ defined by $R = \left\{ {\left( {a,b} \right):\,a,b \in \,N\,and\,a = {b^2}} \right\} $ . Are the following true? Justify your answer in each case.

(i) $\left( a,a \right)\in R$ , for all $a\in N$ .

Ans: We are given our relation as, $R=\left\{ (a,b):a,b\in N\,and\,a={{b}^{2}} \right\}$ 

Let us take, $2\in N$ .

But we have, $2\ne {{2}^{2}}=4$ 

So, the statement that $\left( a,a \right)\in R$ , for all $a\in N$is not true.


(ii) $\left( a,b \right)\in R$ , implies $\left( b,a \right)\in R$ 

Ans: We are given our relation as, $R=\left\{ (a,b):a,b\in N\,and\,a={{b}^{2}} \right\}$ 

Let us take, $(9,3)\in N$ . 

We have to check if, $\left( 3,9 \right)\in N$or not.

But, the condition of the relation says,  $R=\left\{ (a,b):a,b\in N\,and\,a={{b}^{2}} \right\}$and ${{9}^{2}}\ne 3$ .

So, the statement $\left( a,b \right)\in R$ , implies $\left( b,a \right)\in R$ is not true.


(iii) $\left( a,b \right)\in R,\left( b,c \right)\in R$ implies $\left( a,c \right)\in R$ .

Ans: We are given our relation as, $R=\left\{ (a,b):a,b\in N\,and\,a={{b}^{2}} \right\}$ 

Now, let us take, $\left( 9,3 \right)\in R,\left( 16,4 \right)\in R$ .

We have to check if, $\left( 9,4 \right)\in N$or not.

Thus can also easily see, $9\ne {{4}^{2}}=16$ .

So, the given statement $\left( a,b \right)\in R,\left( b,c \right)\in R$ implies $\left( a,c \right)\in R$ .


10. Let $A=\{1,2,3,4\},B=\{1,5,9,11,15,16\}$ and $f=\left\{ \left( 1,5 \right),\left( 2,9 \right),\left( 3,1 \right),\left( 4,5 \right),(2,11) \right\}$ . Are the following true? Justify your answer in each case.

(i) $f$ is a relation from $A$ to $B$ .

Ans: We are provided with two sets, $A=\{1,2,3,4\},B=\{1,5,9,11,15,16\}$ 

Thus, the Cartesian product of these two sets will be,

$A\times B=${ $\left( 1,1 \right),\left( 1,5 \right),\left( 1,9 \right),\left( 1,11 \right),\left( 1,15 \right),\left( 1,16 \right),$ 

$\left( 2,1 \right),\left( 2,5 \right),\left( 2,9 \right),\left( 2,11 \right),\left( 2,15 \right),\left( 2,16 \right), $

$\left( 3,1 \right),\left( 3,5 \right),\left( 3,9 \right),\left( 3,11 \right),\left( 3,15 \right),\left( 3,16 \right), $

$\left( 4,1 \right),\left( 4,5 \right),\left( 4,9 \right),\left( 4,11 \right),\left( 4,15 \right),\left( 4,16 \right) $

And it is also given that, 

$f=\left\{ \left( 1,5 \right),\left( 2,9 \right),\left( 3,1 \right),\left( 4,5 \right),(2,11) \right\}$

A relation from a non-empty set $A$ to a non-empty set $B$is a subset of the Cartesian product $A\times B$ .

Thus, it can be easily checked that $f$ is a relation from $A$ to B.


(ii) f is a function from $A$ to $B$ .

Ans: We are provided with two sets, $A=\{1,2,3,4\},B=\{1,5,9,11,15,16\}$ 

Thus, the Cartesian product of these two sets will be,

$A\times B=\{\left( 1,1 \right),\left( 1,5 \right),\left( 1,9 \right),\left( 1,11 \right),\left( 1,15 \right),\left( 1,16 \right),$ 

$\left( 2,1 \right),\left( 2,5 \right),\left( 2,9 \right),\left( 2,11 \right),\left( 2,15 \right),\left( 2,16 \right), $

$\left( 3,1 \right),\left( 3,5 \right),\left( 3,9 \right),\left( 3,11 \right),\left( 3,15 \right),\left( 3,16 \right), $

$\left( 4,1 \right),\left( 4,5 \right),\left( 4,9 \right),\left( 4,11 \right),\left( 4,15 \right),\left( 4,16 \right)$

And it is also given that, 

$f=\left\{ \left( 1,5 \right),\left( 2,9 \right),\left( 3,1 \right),\left( 4,5 \right),(2,11) \right\}$

If we check carefully, we see that the first element $2$ is providing us two different value of the image $9,11$ .

So, it can be concluded that $f$ is not a function from $A$ to B.


11. Let $f$ be the subset of $Z\times Z$ defined by $f=\left\{ \left( ab,a+b \right):a,b\in Z \right\}$ . If $f$ a function from $Z$ to $Z$. Justify your answer.

Ans: Our given relation $f$ is defined as $f=\left\{ \left( ab,a+b \right):a,b\in Z \right\}$.

We also know that a relation will be called a function from $A$ to $B$ if every element of the set $A$ has unique images in set $B$ .

Let us take 4 elements, $2,6,-2,-6\in Z$ .

So, for the first two elements, 

$\left( 2\times 6,2+6 \right)\in f$ 

$\Rightarrow \left( 12,8 \right)\in f$

And for the last two elements,

$\left( -2\times -6,-2+-6 \right)\in f$

$\Rightarrow \left( 12,-8 \right)\in f$

So, it is clearly visible that one single element $12$ having two different images $8,-8$. Thus, the relation is not a function.


12. Let $A=\left\{ 9,10,11,12,13 \right\}$ and let $f:A\to N$ be defined by $f(n)=$ the highest prime factor of $n$ . Find the range of $f$ .

Ans: We have our given set as, $A=\left\{ 9,10,11,12,13 \right\}$ and the relation is given as $f(n)=$ the highest prime factor of $n$.

The prime factor of $9$ is $3$ .

The prime factors of 10 is $2,5$ .

The prime factor of $11$ is $11$ .

The prime factor of 12 is $2,3$ .

The prime factor of $13$ is $13$ .

Thus, it can be said, 

$f(9)=$ the highest prime factor of $9=3$ .

$f(10)=$ the highest prime factor of $10=5$ .

$f(11)=$ the highest prime factor of $11=11$ .

$f(12)=$ the highest prime factor of $12=3$ .

$f(13)=$ the highest prime factor of $13=13$ .

Now, the range of the function will be, $\left\{ 3,5,11,13 \right\}$.
