= 9x + 3k – 6
g o f = g[f(x)]
= g(3x – 6)
= 3(3x – 6 ) + k
= 9x – 18 + k
But fog = gof
9x + 3k – 6 = 9x – 18 + k

= x2 – 3x + 2
f(x + 1) = (x + 1)2 – (x + 1)
= x2 + 2x + 1 – x – 1
= x2 + x
f(x – 1) – f(x + 1) = x2 – 3x + 2 – (x2 + x)
= x2 – 3x + 2 – x2 – x
= -4x + 2 = 2 – 4x

II. Answer the following questions.
Question 1.
f(x) = (1 + x)
f(x) = (2x – 1)
Show that fo(g(x)) = gof(x)
Solution:
f(x) = 1 + x
g(x) = (2x – 1)
fog(x) = f(g(x)) = f(2x – 1)
= 1 + 2x – 1 = 2x ………….. (1)
gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g(1 + x) = 2(1 + x) = 1
= 2 + 2x – 1
= 2x + 1 ……………. (2)
(1) ≠ (2)
∴ fog(x) + gof(x) It is verified.
Question 2.
If A × B = {(a, x) (a, y) (b, x) (b, y) (c, x) (c, y)} then find A and B
Answer:
A × B = {(a, x) (a, y) (b, x) (b, y) (c, x) (c, y)}
A = {a, b, c}
B = {x,y}
Question 3.
Let A = {x ∈ w/3 < x < 7},
B = {x ∈ N/0 < x < 3}, C = {x ∈ w/x < 2}
verify A × (B ∩ C) = (A × B) ∩ (A × C)
Answer:
A = {4,5,6} ; B = {1,2} C = {0, 1}
B ∩ C = {1,2} ∩ {0, 1}
= {1}
A × (B ∩ C) = {4,5,6} × {1}
= {(4, 1) (5, 1) (6, 1)} …. (1)
A × B = {4,5,6} × {1,2}
= {(4, 1) (4, 2) (5, 1) (5, 2) (6, 1) (6, 2)}
A × C = {4,5,6} x {0, 1}
= {(4,0) (4,1) (5,0)
(5, 1) (6, 0) (6, 1)}
(A × B) ∩ (A × C) = {(4, 1) (5, 1) (6, 1)}…. (2)
From (1) and (2) we get
A × (B ∩ C) = (A × B) ∩ (A × C)
Question 4.
Let A = {10, 11, 12, 13, 14}; B = {0, 1, 2, 3, 5} and fi: A → B, i = 1, 2, 3. State the type of function for the following (give reason):
(i) f1 = {(10,1), (11,2), (12,3), (13,5), (14,3)}
Answer:
The element 12 and 14 in A have same image 3 in B.
∴ It is not one-one function.
The element ‘0’ in B has no preimage in A
∴ It is not onto function
So the given function is neither one – one nor onto function
(ii) f2 = {(10,1), (11,1), (12,1), (13,1), (14,1)}
Answer:
f2 is a constant function
(iii) f3 = {(10,0), (11,1), (12,2), (13,3), (14,5)}
Answer:
f3 is one-one and onto function (or) bijective function.
Question 5.
If X = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, Y = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} determine which of the following relations from X to Y are functions? Give reason for your answer. If it is a function, state its type.
(i) R1 = {(x,y)| y = x + 2,x ∈ X,y ∈ Y}
Answer:
Given y = x + 2
When x = 1 ; y = 1 + 2 = 3
When x = 2 ; y = 2 + 2 = 4
When x = 3 ; y = 3 + 2 = 5
When x = 4 ; y = 4 + 2 = 6
When x = 5 ; y = 5 + 2 = 7
R1 = {1,3), (2,4), (3, 5), (4, 6), (5,7)}
R1 is not a function ; 2 and 4 has no image in Y.
(ii) R2 = {(1,1), (2,1), (3,3), (4,3), (5,5)}
Answer:
R2 is a function.
Every element of X has unique image in Y.
1 and 2 have same image 1
3 and 4 have same image 3
It is not one – one function …. (1)
7 and 9 has no pre image in X
It is not an onto function …. (2)
From (1) and (2) we know that, it is
neither one – one nor onto function.
(iii) R3 = {(1,1), (1,3), (3,5), (3,7), (5,7)}
Answer:
R3 is not a function.
1 has two images 1 and 3
3 has two images 5 and 7
(iv) R4 = {(1,3), (2,5), (4,7), (5,9), (3,1)}
Answer:
Every element of X has unique image in
Y. Range = Co-domain
R4 is a function.
It is an one-one and onto function (or) bijective function
Question 6.
A= {-2,-1, 1, 2} and f = {(x,1x) ; x ∈ A}
Write down the range of f. Is f a function from A to A?
Answer:
Given, f = (x,1x) ; So f(x) = 1x
f (-2) = 1−2 = – 12 ; f(-1) = 1−1 = -1
f(1) = 11 = 1 ; f(2) = 12 = 12
Range of f = {−12, -1, 1, 12}
It is not a function from A to A since – 12 ,12 ∈ A
Question 7.
Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, B = N and f: A → B be defined by f(x) = x2. Find the range of f. Identify the type of function.
Solution:
A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
B = {1, 2, 3, 4 ….}
f: A → B, f(x) = x2
∴ f(1) = 12 = 1
f(2) = 22 = 4
f(3) = 32 = 9
f(4) = 42 = 16
f(5) = 52 = 25
∴ Range of f = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25)
Elements in A have been different elements in B. Therefore it is one-one function. But not all the elements in B have preimages in A. Therefore it is not on-to function.
Question 8.
Let A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }, B = N and f: A → B be defined by f(x) = x2.
Find the range of f. Identify the type of function.
Answer:
Now, A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
B = { 1, 2, 3, 4, … }
Given f: A → B and f(x) = x2
f(1) = 12 = 1;
f(2) = 4;
f(3) = 9;
f(4) = 16;
f(5) = 25.
Range of f = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25}
Since distinct elements are mapped into distinct images, it is a one-one function.
However, the function is not onto, since 3 ∈ B but there is no x ∈ A
such that
f(x) = x2 = 3.
Question 9.
Identify the type of function.
Answer:
(i) Many – one into
(ii) One – one onto
(iii) Constant function
(iv) One – one into

Q = {1,-2, 6,-3}
R = {x,y/y = x2 – 3 x ∈ P,y ∈ Q}
(i) List the elements of R
(ii) Is the relation a function? If so identity the function
Answer:
P = {-2, -1, 0, 1}; Q = {1, -2,6, -3}
y = x2- 3 x ∈ P, y ∈ Q
When x = -2 ⇒ y = (-2)2 – 3 = 4 – 3 = 1
When x = -1 ⇒ y = (-1 )2 – 3 = 1 – 3 = -2
When x = 0 ⇒ y = (0)2 – 3 = 0 -3 = -3
When x = 1 ⇒ y = 12 – 3 = 1 – 3 = -2
(i) R = {(-2,1), (-1,-2), (0,-3), (1,-2)}
(ii) Yes the relation is a function many – one into function.
Question 12.
Given f(x) = 3x – 2; g(x) = 2x2 find
(i) fog and
(ii) gof what do you find
Answer:
f(x) = 3x – 2 ; g(x) = 2x2
(i) f o g = f[g(x)]
= f(2x2)
= 3(2x2) – 2
= 6x2 – 2
(ii) g o f = g [f(x)]
= g (3x – 2)
= 2(3x – 2)2
= 2(9x2 + 4 – 12x)
= 18x2 – 24x + 8
we find that fog ≠ gof
Composition of function is not commutative.
Question 13.
If f: R → R is defined by f(x) = ax + 3 and g: R → R is defined by g (x) = 4x – 3 find a so that fog = gof
Answer:
f(x) = ax + 3 ; g(x) = 4x -3
fog = f[g(x)]
= f(4x – 3)
= a (4x – 3) + 3
= 4ax – 3a + 3
gof = g [f(x)]
= g (ax + 3)
= 4 (ax + 3) – 3
= 4 ax + 12 – 3
= 4ax + 9
But fog = gof
4ax – 3a + 3 = 4ax + 9
-3a + 3 = 9
– 3a = 6
a = – 2
The value of a = – 2
Question 14.
Given f(x) = 3 + x ; g(x) = x2 ;
h(x) = 1x find fo (goh)
Answer:
f(x) = 3 + x ; g (x) = x2, h(x) = 1x
goh = g[h(x)]
= g (1x)
= (1x)2
goh = 1x2
fo(goh) = f (1x2)
= 3 + 1x2

Question 6.
A function f[- 3, 7 ) → R is defined as follows f(x) =
Find (i) f(5) + f(6)
(ii) f(1) – f(-3)
(iii) f(-2) – f(4)
(iv) f(3)+f(−1)2f(6)−f(1)
Answer:
Given, f(x) = 4x2 – 1; x = {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1}
f(x) = 3x – 2; x = {2,3,4}
f(x) = 2x – 3; x = {5,6}
(i) f(5) + f(6)
f(x) = 2x – 3
f(5) = 2(5) – 3 = 10 – 3 = 7
f(6) = 2(6) – 3 = 12 – 3 = 9
∴ f(5) + f(6) = 7 + 9 = 16
(ii) f(1) – f(-3)
f(x) = 4x2 – 1
f(1) = 4(1)2 – 1 = 4 – 1 = 3
f(-3) = [4(-3)2 – 1]
= 4 (9) – 1
= 36 – 1 = 35
∴ f(1) – f(-3) = 3 – (35) = -32
(iii) f(-2) – f(4)
f(x) = 4x2 – 1
f(-2) = 4(-2)2 – 1 = 4(4) – 1 = 16 – 1 = 15
f(x) = 3x – 2
f(4) = [3(4) – 2] = 12 – 2 = 10
∴ f(-2) – f(4) = 15 – 10 = 5
Question 7.
A function f : [- 7, 6) → R is defined as follows
Answer:
Given, f(x) = x2 + 2x + 1 ; x = {-7, -6}
f(x) = x + 5 ; x = {-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2}
f(x) = x – 1; x{3, 4, 5}
(i) 2f(- 4) + 3f(2)
f(x) = x + 5
f(-4) = -4 + 5 = 1
f(2) = 2 + 5 = 7
∴ 2f(-4) + 3 f(2) = 2(1) + 3(7) = 2 + 21 = 23
(ii) f(-7) – f(-3)
f(x) = x2 + 2x + 1
f(-7) = (-7)2 + 2(-7) + 1 = 49 – 14 + 1 = 36
f(x) = x + 5
f(-3) = -3 + 5 = 2
∴ f(-7) – f(-3) = 36 – 2 = 34
(iii) 4f(−3)+2f(4)f(−6)−3f(1)
f(x) = x + 5
f(-3) = -3 + 5 = 2
f(x) = x – 1
f(4) = 4 – 1 = 3
f(x) = x2 + 2x + 1
f(-6) = (-6)2 + 2(-6) + 1 = 36 – 12 + 1 = 25
f(x) = x + 5
f(1) = 1 + 5 = 6
Question 8.
Let A= { 0,1, 2, 3 } and B = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9 } be two sets. Let f: A → B be a function given by f (x) = 2x + 1. Represent this function as
(i) a set of ordered pairs
(ii) a table
(iii) an arrow diagram and
(iv) a graph.
Answer:
A = {0, 1, 2, 3}, B = { 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 },f(x) = 2x + 1
f(0) = 2(0) + 1 = 1, f(1) = 2(1) + 1 = 3 ,f(2) = 2(2) + 1 = 5, f(3) = 2(3) + 1 = 7
(i) Set of ordered pairs
The given function/can be represented as a set of ordered pairs as
f = {(0, 1), (1, 3), (2, 5), (3,7)}
(ii) Table form
Let us represent f using a table as shown below.
(iii) Arrow Diagram
Let us represent f by an arrow diagram.
We draw two closed curves to represent the sets A and B. Here each element of A and its unique image element in B are related with an arrow.
(iv) Graph
We are given that
f = {(x,f(x)) | x ∈ A} = {(0,1), (1, 3), (2, 5), (3, 7)}. Now, the points (0, 1), (1, 3), (2, 5) and (3, 7) are plotted on the plane as shown below.
The totality of all points represent the graph of the function.
Question 9.
A. function f: [1, 6) → R is defined as follows
(Here, [1, 6) = {x ∈ R : 1 ≤ x < 6})
Find the value of
(i) f(5)
(ii) f(3)
(iii) f(1)
(iv) f(2) – f(4)
(v) 2f(5) – 3f(1).
Answer:
(i) Let us find f(5). Since 5 lies between 4 and 6, we have to use f(x) = 3x2 – 10.
Thus, f(5) = 3(52) – 10 = 65.
(ii) To find f(3), note that 3 lies between 2 and 4.
So, we use f(x) = 2x – 1 to calculate f(3).
Thus, f(3) = 2(3) – 1 = 5.
(iii) Let us find f(1).
Now, 1 is in the interval 1 < x < 2
Thus, we have to use f(x) = 1 + x to obtain f(1) = 1 + 1 = 2.
(iv) f (2) – f(4)
Now, 2 is in the interval 2 < x < 4 and so, we use f(x) = 2x – 1.
Thus, f(2) = 2(2) -1 = 3.
Also, 4 is in the interval 4 < x < 6. Thus, we use f(x) = 3x2 – 10
Therefore, f(4) = 3(42) – 10 = 3(16) – 10 = 48 – 10 = 38.
Hence, f(2) – f(4) = 3 – 38 = -35.
(v) To calculate 2 f (5) – 3f (1), we shall make use of the values that we have already calculated in (i) and (iii). Thus, 2f(5) – 3f(1) = 2(65) – 3(2) = 130 – 6 – 124.
Question 10.
Given f(x) = 5x + 2; g(x) = 2x – 3;
h(x) = 3x + 1. Verify fo (goh) = (fog) oh
Answer:
f(x) = 5x + 2 ; g(x) = 2x – 3; h(x) = 3x + 1
L.H.S. = fo (goh)
goh = g[h(x)]
= g(3x + 1)
= 2(3x + 1) – 3
= 6x – 1
fo (goh) = f[goh (x)]
= f(6x – 1)
= 5 (6x – 1) + 2
= 30 x – 5 + 2
fo (goh) = 30x – 3 ….(1)
R.H.S. = (fog) oh
fog = f[g(x)]
= f(2x – 3)
= 5(2x – 3) + 2
= 30x – 5 + 2
fo (goh) = 30x – 3 …..(1)
R.H.S. = (fog) oh
fog = f[g(x)]
= f(2x – 3)
= 5 (2x – 3)
= 5 (2x – 3) + 2
= 10x – 15 + 2
= 10x – 13
(fog) oh = fog [h(x)]
= fog (3x + 1)
= 10 (3x + 1) – 13
= 30x + 10 – 13
= 30x – 3 ….(2)
From (1) and (2) we get L.H.S. = R.H.S.
fo(goh) = (fog) oh
Question 11.
Given f(x) = x2 + 4; g(x) = 3x – 2;
h(x) = x – 5. Show that the composition of functions is associative.
Answer:
f(x) = x2 + 4 ; g(x) – 3x – 2; h(x) = x – 5
To prove fo (goh) = (fog) oh
L.H.S. fo (goh)
goh = g[h(x)]
= g(x – 5)
= 3(x – 5) – 2
= 3x – 15 – 2
goh = 3x – 17
fo (goh) = f [goh (x)]
= f(3x – 17)
= (3x – 17)2 + 4
= 9x2 + 289 – 102 x + 4
= 9x2 – 102x + 293 ….(1)
R.H.S. = (fog) oh
fog – f[g(x)]
= f(3x-2)
= (3x – 2)2 + 4
= 9×2 + 4 – 12x + 4
= 9×2 – 12x + 8
(fog) oh = fog [h(x)]
= fog (x – 5)
= 9(x – 5)2 – 12 (x – 5) + 8
= 9(x2 + 25 – 10x) – 12x + 60 + 8
= 9x2 + 225 – 90x – 12x + 60 + 8
= 9x2 – 102x + 293 ….(2)
From (1) and (2) we get fo (goh) = (fog) oh.
Composition of function is associative
Question 12.
Given f(x) = x – 2; g(x) = 3x + 5; h(x) = 2x – 3. Verify that (goh) of = go (hof)
Answer:
f(x) = x – 2 ; g(x) = 3x + 5; h(x) = 2x – 3
L.H.S. (goh) of
goh = g[h(x)]
= g(2x – 3)
= 3(2x – 3) + 5
= 6x – 9 + 5
= 6x – 4
(goh) of = goh [f(x)]
= goh (x – 2)
= 6(x – 2) – 4
= 6x – 12 – 4
= 6x – 16 ….(1)
R.H.S. go(hof)
hof = h[f(x)]
= h(x- 2)
= 2(x – 2) – 3
= 2x – 4 – 3
= 2x – 7
go(hof) = g [hof (x)]
= g (2x – 7)
= 3(2x – 7) + 5
= 6x – 21 + 5
= 6x – 16 ….(2)
From (1) and (2) we get (goh) of = go(hof)
