Question 1.
If the function f is defined by
then find the 2x +1, x < -3 values if exist of f(4), f(2.5), f(- 2), f(- 4), f(0), f(- 7). [Mar 14]
Answer:
(i) f(4) For x > 3, f(x) = 3x – 2
f(4) = 3 (4) – 2 = 12 – 2 = 10
(ii) f(2.5) is not defined.
(iii) f(-2)
For – 2 ≤ x ≤ 2, f(x) = x2 – 2
f(- 2) = (- 2)2 – 2 = 4 – 2 = 2
(iv) f(-4)
For x < – 3, f(x) = 2x + 1
f(- 4) = 2(- 4) + 1 = – 8 + 1 = – 7
(v) f(0)
For – 2 ≤ x ≤ 2, f(x) = x2 – 2
f(0) = 02 – 2 = – 2
(vi) f(- 7)
For x < – 3, f(x) = 2x + 1
f(- 7) = 2 (- 7) + 1 = – 14 + 1 = – 13

Question 2.
If A = \(\left\{0, \frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right\}\) and f: A → B is a surjection defined by f(x) = cos x then find B. [Mar. (TS) 17, 16 (AP), 11 May 15 (AP), 15 (TS), 11]
Answer:
Given A = \(\left\{0, \frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right\}\)
f(x) = cos x
Since f: A → B is a surjection then f(A) = B
f(0) = cos 0 = 1
∴ B = Range . f(A) = {1, \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \frac{1}{2}\), o}
If A = {- 2, – 1, 0, 1, 2} and f: A → B is a surjection defined by f(x) = x2 + x + 1, then find B. [Mar. (AP) 19, 17] [Mar 16 (TS): May 14, 10]
Answer:
{3, 1, 7}
If A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and f: A → R is a function defined by f(x) = \(\frac{x^2-x+1}{x+1}\), then find the range of f.
Answer:
\(\left\{1, \frac{1}{2}, \frac{7}{4}, \frac{13}{5}\right\}\)
Question 3.
Determine whether the function f: R → R defined by
is an injection or a surjection or a bijection.
Answer:
Given f: R → R
If x = 3 > 2 then f(3) = 3
If x = 1 <2 then f(1) = 5(1) – 2 = 5 – 2 = 3
∴ 1 and 3 have same f image,
∴ f is not an injection.
If y ∈ R (co-domain) then y = x
x = y
then f (x) = x
f(x) = y
If y ∈ R (co-domain) then y = 5x – 2
y + 2 = 5x
x = \(\frac{y+2}{5}\)
then f (x) = 5x – 2
= y + 2 – 2 = y
∴ f is a surjection since f is not an injection then it is not a bijection.
Question 4.
If f: R → R, g : R → R are defined by f(x) = 4x – 1 and g(x) = x2 + 2 then find [May 09. Mar. 05, 04]
(i)(gof) (x)
(ii) (gof) \(\left(\frac{a+1}{4}\right)\)
(iii) (fof) (x)
(iv) [go (fof)] (0)
Answer:
Given f: R → R, g: R → R
f(x) = 4x – 1 and g(x) = x2 + 2
(i) (gof) (x) = g [f(x)] = g[4x – 1]
= (4x – 1)2 + 2
= 16x2 + 1 – 8x + 2
= 16x2 – 8x + 3
(ii) (gof) \(\left(\frac{a+1}{4}\right)\) = g \(\left[\mathrm{f}\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}+1}{4}\right)\right]\)
= g\(\left[4\left(\frac{a+1}{4}\right)-1\right]\)
= g[a + 1 – 1 ]
= g(a) = a2 + 2
(iii) (fof) (x) = f [f(x)] = f[4x – 1]
= 4 (4x – 1) – 1
= 16x – 4 – 1
= 16x – 5
(iv) [go (fof)] (0)
Now (fof) (0) = f[f(0)] = f[4(0) – 1] = f(- 1)
= 4( – 1) – 1 = – 4 – 1 = – 5
[go (fof)] (0) = go [(fof)(0)]
= g [- 5] = (- 5)2 + 2
= 25 + 2 = 27
Question 5.
If f: Q → Q is defined by f(x) = 5x + 4 for all x ∈ Q, show that ‘f is a bijection and find f-1. [Mar. 17 (TS). 16 (AP)]
Answer:
Given f: Q → Q, f(x) = 5x + 4, ∀ x ∈ Q
Let a1, a2 ∈ Q
f(a1) = f(a2)
5a1 + 4 = 5a2 + 4
5a1 = 5a2
a1 = a2
∴ f: Q → Q is an one – one function.
Let y ∈ Q (co-domain) then y = 5x + 4
y – 4 = 5x
f(x) = y
∴ f: Q → Q is an onto function.
∴ f: Q → Q is a bijection.
∴ f-1: Q → Q is a bijection.
Question 6.
If f : R → R, g : R → R are defined by f(x) = 3x – 1, g(x) = x2 + 1, then find (fog) (2). [Mar. 18 (AP) May 13; Mar 13]
Answer:
Given f: R → R and g : R → R defined by
f(x) = 3x – 1 ; g(x) = x2 + 1
(fog) (2) = f[g(2)] = f(22 + 1)
= f(5) = 3(5) – 1 = 14
Question 7.
If f(x) = \(\frac{1}{x}\), g (x) = √x for all x ∈ (0, ∞), x then find (gof) (x).
Answer:
Given
f(x) = \(\frac{1}{x}\), g(x) = √x ∀ x ∈ (0, ∞)
Now (gof) (x) = g[f(x)] = g \(\left[\frac{1}{x}\right]\) = \(\sqrt{\frac{1}{x}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\)
Question 8.
If f(x) = 2x – 1, g(x) = \(\frac{x+1}{2}\) for all x ∈ R, then find (gof) (x). [Mar 19 (AP); Sep 92]
Answer:
Given f(x) = 2x – 1, g(x) \(\frac{x+1}{2}\) ∀ x ∈ R
Now (gof) (x) = g[f(x)] = g(2x – 1)
= \(\frac{2 \mathrm{x}-1+1}{2}\) = \(\frac{2 x}{2x}\) = x
Question 9.
If f(x) = 2, g(x) = x2, h(x) = 2x for all x ∈ R, then find [fo(goh)] (x). [Mar. 17 (TS); July 01]
Answer:
Given f(x) = 2, g(x) = x2, h(x) = 2x ∀ x ∈ R.
Now (goh) (x) = g[h(x)] = g[2x] = (2x)2 = 4x2
[fo(goh)](x) = f[(goh) (x)] = f[4x2] = 2
Question 10.

y = f(x) ⇒ x = f -1 (y) …………….. (1)
y = ax + b ⇒ ax = y – b ⇒ x = \(\frac{\mathrm{y}-\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}\) ……………… (2)
From (1) and (2)
f-1(y) = \(\frac{y-b}{a}\) ⇒ f-1(x) = \(\frac{x-b}{a}\)

Answer:
Given f(x) = 5x
Let y = f(x) = 5x
y = f(x) ⇒ x = f-1(y) …………………. (1)
y = 5x ⇒ x = log5y ……………………. (2)
From (1) and (2),
f-1(y) = log5y ⇒ f-1 (x) = log5x
Question 12.
If f: R → R, g: R → R defined by f(x) = 3x – 2, g(x) = x2 + 1, then find (i) (gof-1) (2) (ii) (gof) (x – 1). [Mar. 08; May 06]
Answer:
Given f: R → R, g: R → R, f(x) = 3x – 2, g(x) = x2 – 1
Let y = f(x) = 3x – 2
y = f(x) ⇒ x = f-1 ……………. (1)
y = 3x – 2 ⇒ y + 2 = 3x
x = \(\frac{\mathrm{y}+2}{3}\) ………………….. (2)
From (1) & (2)
f-1(y) = \(\frac{\mathrm{y}+2}{3}\)
⇒ f-1 (x) = \(\frac{\mathrm{x}+2}{3}\)
(i) (gof-1) (2)
= g[f-1 (2)]
(ii) (gof) (x – 1)
= g[f(x -1)]
= g[3(x – 1) – 2]
= g[3x – 3 – 2]
= g(3x – 5)
= (3x – 5)2 + 1
= 9x2 + 25 – 30x + 1
= 9x2 – 30x + 26

Answer:
Let y = f(x) = log |4 – x2|
f(x) ∈ R ⇒ 4 – x2 ≠ 0
x2 ≠ 4 ⇒ x ≠ ± 2
∴ Domain of ‘f is R – {- 2, 2}

∴ Domain of ‘f is R – {2}
Let y = \(\frac{x^2-4}{x-2}\), if x ≠ 2 then y = x + 2
If x = 2, then y = 2 + 2 = 4
y is not defined at x = 2, then y cannot be equal to 4.
∴ Range of T is R – {4}.

∴ Domain of ‘f’ is R – \(\left\{\frac{2}{3}\right\}\)
Let y = f(x) = \(\frac{x}{2-3 x}\)
∴ y = \(\frac{x}{2-3 x}\)
2y – 3xy = x ⇒ 2y = x + 3x ⇒ 2y = x(1 + 3y)
Question 24.
If f = {(4, 5), (5, 6), (6, – 4)} and g = {(4, -4), (6, 5), (8, 5)}, then find
(i) f + 4
(ii) fg
(iii) √f
(iv) f2.
Answer:
(i) f + 4
Domain of f + 4 = A = {4, 5, 6}
(f + 4) (x) = f(x) + 4
(f + 4) (4) = f(4) + 4 = 5 + 4 = 9
(f + 4) (5) = f(5) + 4 = 6 + 4= 10
(f + 4) (6) = f(6) + 4 = -4 + 4 = 0
∴ f + 4 = {(4, 9), (5, 10), (6, 0)}
(ii) fg
Domain of fg = A ∩ B = {4, 6}
(fg) (x) = f(x) . g(x)
(fg) (4) = f(4) . g(4) = 5(-4) = -20
(fg) (6) = f(6) . g(6) = (-4) (5) = -20
∴ fg = {(4, -20), (6, – 20)}
(iii) √f
Domain of √f = {4, 5, 6} = A
√f (x) = √f(x)
√f(4) = √f(4) = √5
√f (5) = √f(5) = √6
√f (6) = √f(6) = √-4 (does not exist)
∴ √f = {(4, √5), (5, √6)}
(iv) f2
Domain of f2 = A = {4, 5, 6}
f2(x) = [f(x)]2
f2(4) = [f(4)]2 = (5)2 = 25
f2(5) = [f(5)]2 = (6)2 = 36
f2(6) = [f(6)]2 = (- 4)2 = 16
∴ f2 = {(4, 25), (5, 36), (6, 16)}
If f = {(1, 2), (2, -3), (3, -1)}, then find
(i) 2f [Mar. 12; 94, 90; May 94]
