⇒
Again,
defined by
f(x) = x2
Now,
⇒ f(1) = 1 = f( – 1)
Therefore,

⇔ f(a) = f(b)
⇒ a = b for all
Now, f : A → B, denotes a mapping such that
f = {(2,2),(3,5),(4,5)}
Hence this is not injective mapping

So, is One – One function
⇔ a≠b
⇒ f(a)≠f(b) for all
⇔ f(a) = f(b)
⇒ a = b for all
Now, f : A → B, denotes a mapping such that
f = {(2,2),(5,3),(6,4),(7,4)}
Here it is clear that every first component is from B and second component is from A
Hence this is mapping from B to A

⇒ f(x) = 0 for
Therefore,
Range of f = [0,1] ≠ R
Hence f is not One – One function
Check for Surjectivity:
Since Range of f = [0,1] ≠ R

Now, suppose
f(n1) = f(n2)
If n1 is odd and n2 is even, then we have
⇒ n1 + 1 = n2 – 2
⇒ n2 – n1 = 2
Not possible
Suppose both n1 even and n2 is odd.
Then, f(n1) = f(n2)
⇒ n1 – 1 = n2 + 1
⇒ n1 – n2 = 2
Not possible
Therefore, both n1 and n2 must be either odd or even
Suppose both n1 and n2 are odd.
Then, f(n1) = f(n2)
⇒ n1 + 1 = n2 + 1
⇒ n1 = n2
Suppose both n1 and n2 are even.
Then, f(n1) = f(n2)
⇒ n1 – 1 = n2 – 1
⇒ n1 = n2
Then, f is One – One
Also, any odd number 2r + 1 in the co – domain N will have an even number as image in domain N which is
⇒ f(n) = 2r + 1
⇒ n – 1 = 2r + 1
⇒ n = 2r + 2
Any even number 2r in the co – domain N will have an odd number as image in domain N which is
⇒ f(n) = 2r
⇒ n + 1 = 2r
⇒ n = 2r – 1
Thus f is Onto function.
Find gof and fog when f: R → R and g: R → R is defined by
f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = x2 + 5
Since, f:R → R and g:R → R
fog:R → R and gof:R → R
Now, f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = x2 + 5
gof(x) = g(2x + 3) = (2x + 3)2 + 5
⇒ gof(x) = 4x2 + 12x + 9 + 5 = 4x2 + 12x + 14
fog (x) = f(g(x)) = f (x2 + 5) = 2 (x2 + 5) + 3
⇒ fog(x)= 2x2 + 10 + 3 = 2x2 + 13
Hence, gof(x) = 4x2 + 12x + 14 and fog (x) = 2x2 + 13
Find gof and fog when f: R → R and g: R → R is defined by
f(x) = 2x + x2 and g(x) = x3
Since, f:R → R and g:R → R
fog:R → R and gof:R → R
f(x) = 2x + x2 and g(x)=x3
Now, gof(x) = g(f (x)) =g(2x + x2)
gof (x)=(2x + x2)3 = x6 + 8x3 + 6x5 + 12x4
and fog(x)=f(g(x))= f(x3)
⇒ fog(x) = 2x3 + x6
So, gof(x) = x6 + 6x5 + 12x4 + 8x3 and fog(x) = 2x3 + x6
Find gof and fog when f: R → R and g: R → R is defined by
f(x) = x2 + 8 and g(x) = 3x3 + 1
Since, f:R → R and g:R → R
fog:R → R and gof:R → R
f(x)=x2 + 8 and g(x)=3x3 + 1
So, gof(x)= g(f(x))
gof(x)= g(x2 + 8)
gof(x)= 3(x2 + 8)3 + 1
⇒ gof(x)= 3(x6 + 512 + 24x4 + 192x2) + 1
⇒ gof(x)= 3x6 + 72x4 + 576x2 + 1537
Similarly, fog(x)=f(g(x))
⇒ fog(x)= f(3x3 + 1)
⇒ fog(x)=(3x3 + 1)2 + 8
⇒ fog(x)=(9x6 + 1 + 6x3) + 8
⇒ fog(x)=9x6 + 6x3 + 9
So, gof(x) = 3x6 + 72x4 + 576x2 + 1537 and fog(x) = 9x6 + 6x3 + 9
Find gof and fog when f: R → R and g: R → R is defined by
f(x) = x and g(x) = |x|
Since, f:R → R and g:R → R
fog:R → R and gof:R → R
f (x) = x and g (x) = |x|
Now, gof(x)=g(f(x) =g(x)
⇒ gof(x) =|x|
and, fog(x) = f(g(x)) = f (|x|)
⇒ fog(x)=|x|
Hence, gof(x) = fog(x) = |x|
Find gof and fog when f: R → R and g: R → R is defined by
f(x) = x2 + 2x – 3 and g(x) = 3x – 4
Since, f:R → R and g:R → R
fog:R → R and gof:R → R
f(x) = x2 + 2x – 3 and g(x) = 3x – 4
Now, gof(x)=g(f(x))= g(x2 + 2x – 3)
gof(x) = 3(x2 + 2x–3) – 4
⇒ gof(x)= 3x2 + 6x – 9 – 4
⇒ gof(x) = 3x2 + 6x – 13
and, fog= f(g(x)) = f(3x – 4)
fog(x) = (3x – 4)2 + 2(3x – 4) – 3
= 9x2 + 16 – 24x + 6x – 8 – 3
∴ fog(x) = 9x2 – 18x + 5
Thus, gof(x) = 3x2 + 6x – 13 and fog(x) = 9x2 – 18x + 5
Find gof and fog when f: R → R and g: R → R is defined by
f(x) = 8x3 and g(x) = x1/3
Since, f:R → R and g:R → R
fog:R → R and gof:R → R
f(x) = 8x3 and
Now, gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g(8x3)
gof(x) = 2x
fog(x) = 8x
Thus, gof(x) = 2x and fog(x) = 8x
Let f = {(3, 1), (9, 3), (12, 4)} and g = {(1, 3), (3, 3), (4, 9), (5, 9)}. Show that gof and fog are both defined, Also, find fog and gof.
Let f = {(3,1), (9,3), (12,4)} and
g = {(1,3), (3,3), (4,9), (5,9)}
Now,
range of f = (1, 3, 4}
domain of f = {3, 9, 12}
range of g = {3,9}
domain of g = (1, 3, 4, 5}
since, range of f ⊂ domain of g
∴ gof is well defined.
Again, the range of g ⊆ domain of f
∴ fog in well defined.
Finally, gof = {(3,3), (9 ,3), (12,9)}
fog = {(1,1) , (3,1), (4,3), (5,3)}
Let f = {(1, – 1), (4, – 2), (9, – 3), (16, 4)} and g = {(– 1, – 2), (– 2, – 4), (– 3, – 6), (4, 8)}. Show that gof is defined while fog is not defined. Also, find gof.
We have,
f = {(1, – 1), (4, – 2) , (9, – 3), (16,4)} and
g = {(– 1, – 2), (– 2, – 4), (– 3, – 6), (4,8)}
Now,
Domain of f = {1,4,9,16}
Range of f = {– 1, – 2, – 3, 4}
Domain of g = (– 1, – 2, – 3,4}
Range of g = (– 2, – 4, – 6, 8}
Clearly range of f = domain of g
∴ gof is defined.
but, range of g ≠ domain of f
So, fog is not defined.
Now,
gof(1) = g(– 1)= – 2
gof(4) = g(– 2) = – 4
gof(9) = g (– 3) = – 6
gof(16) = g(4)= 8
So, gof = {(1, – 2), (4, – 4), (9 , – 6), (16,8)}
Let A = {a, b c}, B = {u, v, w} and let f and g be two functions from A to B and from B to A respectively defined as: f = {(a, v), (b, u), (c, w)}, g = {(u, b), (v, a), (w, c)}.
Show that f and g both are bijections and find fog and gof.
Given, A = {a, b, c}, B = {u, v, w} and
f = A → B and g: B → A defined by
f = {(a, v), (b, u), (c, w)} and
g = {(u, b), (v, a), (w, c)}
For both f and g, different elements of domain have different
images
∴ f and g are one – one
Again, for each element in co – domain of f and g, there is a pre – image in the domain
∴ f and g are onto
Thus, f and g are bijective.
Now,
gof = {(a, a), (b, b), (c, c.)} and
fog = {(u, u), (v, v), (w, w)}
Find fog (2) and gof (1) when: f: R → R; f(x) = x2 + 8 and g: R → R; g(x) = 3x3 + 1.
We have, f: R → R given by f(x) = x2 + 8 and
g : R → R given by g (x) = 3x3 + 1
fog(x) = f (g(x)) = f (3x3 + 1)
= (3x3 + 1)2 + 8
fog(2) = (3 × 8 + 1)2 + 8 = 625 + 8 = 633
Again,
gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g(x2 + 8)
= 3(x2 + 8)3 + 1
gof(1) = 3(1 + 8)3 + 1 = 2188
Let R+ be the set of all non – negative real numbers. If f: R+ → R+ and g: R+ → R+ are defined as f(x) = x2 and g(x) = + √x. Find fog and gof. Are they equal functions.
We have, f : R+ → R+ given by
f (x) = x2
g: R + → R + given by
fog (x) = f(g(x)) = f(= ()2 = x
Also,
gof (x) = g(f(x)) = g(x2) = = x
Thus,
fog(x)= gof (x)
They are equal functions as their domain and range are also equal.
Let f: R → R and g: R → R be defined by f(x) = x2 and g(x) = x + 1. Show that fog ≠ gof.
We have, f: R → R and g: R → R are two functions defined by
f (x)= x2 and g(x) = x + 1
Now,
fog (x) = f(g(x)) = f(x + 1) =(x + 1)2
⇒ fog(x) = x2 + 2x + 1 ……(i)
gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g(x2) = x2 + 1 ……(ii)
from (i) & (ii)
fog ≠ gof

Let f: R → R and g: R → R are defined as
f (x) = x + 1 and g (x) = x – 1
Now,
fog(x) = f(g(x)) = f(x – 1) = x – 1 + 1
= x =IR ……(i)
Again,
fog(x ) = f(g(x)) = g(x + 1) = x + 1 – 1
= x = IR ……(ii)
from (i)& (ii)
fog = gof = IR
Verify associativity for the following three mappings: f: N → Z0 (the set of non – zero integers), g: Z0→ Q and h: Q → R given by f(x) = 2x, g(x) = 1/x and h(x) = ex.
We have, f: N → Zo, g: Z0 → Q and h: Q → R
Also, f(x) = 2x, and h(x) = ex
Now, f: N → Zo and hog: Z0 → R
∴ (hog)of: N → R
Also, gof: N → Q and h: Q → R
∴ ho(gof): N → R
Thus, (hog)of and ho(gof) exist and are function from N to set R.
Finally. (hog)of(x) = (hog)(f(x)) = (hog)(2x)
Now, ho(gof)(x) = ho(g(2x)) = h
Hence, associativity verified.
Consider f: N → N, g: N → N and h: N → R defined as f(x) = 2x, g(y) = 3y + 4 and h(z) = sin z for all x, y, z ∈ N. Show that ho (gof) = (hog) of.
We have,
ho(gof)(x)=h(gof(x))=h(g(f(x)))
= h(g(2x)) = h(3(2x) + 4)
= h(6x + 4) = sin(6x + 4) ∀x ∈N
((hog)of)(x) = (hog)(f(x))= (hog)(2x)
=h(g(2x))=h(3(2x) + 4)
=h(6x + 4) = sin(6x + 4) ∀x ∈N
This shows, ho(gof) = (hog)of
Give examples of two functions f: N → N and g: N → N such that gof is onto, but f is not onto.
Define f:N → N by, f(x) = x + 1 And, g: N → N by,
We first show that f is not onto.
For this, consider element 1 in co – domain N. It is clear that this element is not an image of any of the elements in domain N.
Therefore, f is not onto.
Give examples of two functions f: N → Z and g: Z → Z such that gof is injective, but g is not injective.
Define f: N → Z as f(x) = x and g: N → N as g(x)=|x|.
We first show that g is not injective.
It can be observed that:
g(– 1)=| – 1| = 1
g(1) =|1| = 1
Therefore, g(– 1) = g(1), but —1 ≠ 1.
Therefore, g is not injective.
Now, gof: N → Z is defined as gof(x) = g(f(x)) =g(x)=|x|.
Let x, y ∈N such that gof(x) = gof(y).
⇒ |x|=|y|
Since x and y ∈N both are positive.
∴ |x|=|y| ⇒ x=y
Hence, gof is injective
If f: A → B and g: B → C are one – one functions show that gof is a one – one function.
We have, f : A → B and g : B → C are one – one functions.
Now we have to prove : gof: A → C in one – one
let x, y ∈ A such that
gof(x) = gof(y)
g(f(x))=g(f(y))
f (x) = f (y) [As, g in one – one]
x = y [As, f in one – one]
gof is one – one function
If f: A → B and g: B → C are onto functions show that gof is an onto function.
We have, f: A → B and g: B → C are onto functions.
Now, we need to prove: gof: A → C is onto.
let y ∈ C, then
gof (x) = y
g(f(x)) = y ……(i)
Since g is onto, for each element in C, there exists a preimage in B.
g(x)=y ……(ii)
From (i) & (ii)
f(x)=x
Since f is onto, for each element in B there exists a preim age in el
f(x)=x ……(iii)
From (ii)and(iii) we can conclude that for each y ∈ C, there exists a preimage in A such that gof(x) = y
∴ gof is onto.
Find fog and gof, if
f(x) = ex, g(x) = logex
f(x) = ex and g (x) = loge x
Now, fog(x) = f(g(x)) = f(loge x) = elogex= x
⇒ fog(x) = x
gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g(ex) = loge ex = x
⇒ gof(x)=x
Hence, fog(x) = x and gof(x) = x
Find fog and gof, if

f(x)= x, g (x) = cos x
Domain of f and Domain of g = R
Range of f = (0, ∞)
Range of g = (– 1,1)
∴ Range of f ⊂ domain of g ⇒ gof exist
Also, Range of g ⊂ domain of f ⇒ fog exist
Now,
gof (x) = g (f (x)) = g (x2) = cos x2
And
fog (x) = f(g(x)) = f (cos x) = cos2 x
Hence, fog(x) = cos x2 and gof(x) = cos2 x
Find fog and gof, if
f(x) = |x|, g(x) = sin x
f(x)= |x| and g (x)= sin x
Range of f = (0, ∞) ⊂ Domain g (R) ⇒ gof exist
Range of g= [ – 1,1] ⊂ Domain f (R) ⇒ fog exist
Now, fog (x)= f(g(x)) = f(sin x) = |sin x| and
gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g(lxl) =sin |x|
Hence, fog(x) = |sin x| and gof(x) = sin |x|
Find fog and gof, if
f(x) = x + 1, g(x) = ex
f(x) = x + 1 and g(x) = ex
Range of f = R ⊂ Domain of g= R ⇒ gof exist
Range of g = (0, ∞) = Domain of f = R ⇒ fog exist
Now,
gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g(x + 1) = ex+ 1
And
fog (x) = f(g(x))= f(ex) = ex + 1
Hence, fog(x) = ex+ 1 and gof(x) = ex + 1
Find fog and gof, if
f(x) = sin–1 x, g(x) = x2
f(x) = sin – 1 x and g (x) = x2
Range of f= Domain of g = R ⇒ gof exist
Range of g= (0,∞) ⊂ Domain of f = R ⇒ fog exist
Now,
fog (x) = f(g(x)) = f(x2) = sin – 1x2 and
gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g (sin – 1 x) = (sin – 1x)2
Hence, fog(x) = sin – 1x2 and gof(x) = (sin – 1x)2
Find fog and gof, if
f(x) = x + 1, g(x) = sin x
f(x) = x + 1 and g(x) = sin x
Range of f = R ⊂ Domain of g = R ⇒ gof exists
Range of g= [ – 1,1] ⊂ Domain of f ⇒ fog exists
Now,
fog(x) = f(g(x)) = f(sin x) = sin x + 1
And
gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g(x + 1) = sin(x + 1)
Hence, fog(x) = sin x + 1 and gof(x) = sin(x + 1)
Find fog and gof, if
f(x) = x + 1, g(x) = 2x + 3
f(x) = x + 1 and g(x) = 2x + 3
Range of f = R ⊂ Domain of g = R ⇒ gof exists
Range of g= R ⊂ Domain of f ⇒ fog exists
Now,
fog(x) = f(g(x) = f(2x + 3) = (2x + 3) + 1= 2x + 4 and
gof(x)= g(f(x))= g(x + 1) = 2(x + 1) + 3 = 2x + 5
So, fog(x) = 2x + 4 and gof(x) = 2x + 5
Find fog and gof, if
f(x) = c, c ∈ R, g(x) = sin x2
f(x) = c, c ∈ R and
g(x) = sin x2
Range of f = R ⊂ Domain of g = R ⇒ gof exists
Range of g= [ – 1,1] ⊂ Domain of f =R ⇒ fog exists
Now,
gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g(c) = sin c2 and
fog(x) = f (g(x))= f(sin x2) =c
Thus, gof(x) = sin c2 and fog(x) = c
Find fog and gof, if
f(x) = x2 + 2,
f(x) = x2 + 1 and
Range of f = (2,∞) ⊂ Domain of g = R ⇒ gof exists
Range of g= R – [ – 1] ⊂ Domain of f =R ⇒ fog exists
Now,
and
Hence,
Let f(x) = x2 + x + 1 and g(x) = sin x. Show that fog ≠ gof.
We have, f (x) = x2 + x + 1 and g(x) = sin x
Now,
fog(x) = f(g(x)) = f(sin x)
⇒ fog(x) = sin2 x + sin x + 1
Again, gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g (x2 + x + 1)
⇒ gof(x) = sin(x2 + x + 1)
Clearly,
fog ≠ gof
If f(x) = |x|, prove that fof = f.
We have, f(x) = |x|
We assume the domain of f = R and range of f = (0,∞)
Range of f ⊂ domain of f
∴ fof exists,
Now,
fof(x) = f(f(x)) = f(|x|) = ||x|| = f(x)
∴ fof = f
Hence proved.
If f(x) = 2x + 5 and g(x) = x2 + 1 be two real functions, then describe each of the following functions:
(i) fog
(ii) gof
(iii) fof
(iv) f2
Also, show that fof ≠ f2.
f(x)= 2x + 5 and g(x)= x2 + 1
The range of f = R and range of g = [1,∞]
The range of f ⊂ Domain of g (R) and range of g ⊂ domain of f (R)
∴ both fog and gof exist.
(i) fog(x) = f(g(x)) = f (x2 + 1)
= 2(x2 + 1) + 5
⇒ fog(x)=2x2 + 7
Hence fog(x) = 2x2 + 7
(ii) gof(x) = g(f(x)) – = g (2x + 5)
= (2x + 5)2 + 1
gof(x)= 4x2 + 20x + 26
Hence gof(x) = 4x2 + 20x + 26
(iii) fof(x) = f(f(x)) = f(2x + 5)
= 2 (2x + 5) + 5
fof(x) = 4x + 15
Hence fof(x) = 4x + 15
(iv) f2(x) = [f(x)]2= (2x + 5)2
= 4x2 + 20x + 25
∴ from (iii) and (iv)
fof ≠ f2
If f(x) = sin x and g(x) = 2x be two real functions, then describe gof and fog. Are these equal functions?
We have, f (x) = sin x and g (x) = 2x.
Domain of f and g is R
Range of f = [ – 1,1], Range of g = R
∴ Range of f ⊂ Domain g and Range of g ⊂ Domain f
fog and gof both exist.
gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g(sin x)
⇒ gof(x) = 2sin x
fog(x) = f(g(x)) = f(2x) = sin 2x
∴ gof ≠ fog
Let f, g, h be real functions given by f(x) = sin x, g(x) = 2x and h(x) = cos x. Prove that fog = go(fh).
f, g and h are real functions given by f(x) = sin x, g(x) = 2x and
h(x) = cos x
To prove: fog=go(fh)
L.H.S
fog(x) = f(g(x))
= f(2x) = sin 2x
⇒ fog(x)=2sin x cos x ……(A)
R.H .S
go(fh)(x) = go(f(x).h(x))
= g(sin x cos x) = 2sin x cos x
go(fh)(x) = 2 sin x cos x ……(B)
from A and B
fog(x) = go(fh)(x)
Hence proved
Let f be any real function and let g be a function given by g(x) = 2x. Prove that gof = f + f.
We are given that f is a real function and g is a function given by
g(x) = 2x
To prove; gof=f + f.
L.H.S
gof(x) = g(f(x)) = 2f(x)
=f + f = R.H.S
gof=f + f
Hence proved
If and g(x) = logex are two real functions, then describe functions fog and gof.
f(x) = , g(x) = log e x
Domain of f and g are R.
Range of f= (– ∞, 1) Range of g = (0, e)
Range of f ⊂ Domain of g ⇒ gof exists
Range of g ⊂ Domain f ⇒ fog exists
∴ gof (x) = g(f(x)) = g
∴ gof (x) =
Again
fog (x) = f(g(x)) = f(log e x)
fog (x) =
If f: → R and g: [–1, 1] → R be defined as f(x) = tan x and respectively. Describe fog and gof.
f: and g: [ – 1,1]R defined as f(x) = tan x and g(x) =
Range of f: let y = f(x)
⇒ y = tan x
⇒ x = tan – 1 y
Since, x ϵ , y ϵ (– ∞, ∞)
As Range of f ⊂ Domain of g
∴ gof exists.
Similarly, let y = g(x)
⇒ y =
⇒ x =
∴ Range of g is [ – 1,1]
As, Range of g ⊂ Domain of f
Hence, fog also exists
Now,
fog(x) = f(g(x)) = f
⇒ fog(x) = tan
Again,
gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g(tan x)
⇒ gof(x) =
If and g(x) = x2 + 1 be two real functions, then find fog and gof.
f(x) = , g(x) = x2 + 1
Now,
Domain of f = [ – 3, ∞], domain of g = (– ∞, ∞)
Range of f = [0, ∞), range of g = [1, ∞)
Then, range of f ⊂ Domain of g and range of g ⊂ Domain of f
Hence, fog and gof exists
Now,
fog(x) = f(g(x)) = f(x2 + 1)
⇒ fog(x) =
Again,
gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g(
⇒ gof(x) =
⇒ gof(x) = x + 4

fof
We have, f(x) =
Clearly, domain of f = [2, ∞] and range of f = [0, ∞)
We observe that range of f is not a subset of domain of f
∴ Domain of (fof) = {x: x ϵ Domain of f and f(x) ϵ Domain of f}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and ϵ [2, ∞)}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and ≥ 2}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and x – 2 ≥ 4}

= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and ≥ 2}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and x – 2 ≥ 4}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and x ≥ 6}
= [6, ∞)
Clearly, range of f = [0, ∞) ⊄ Domain of (fof)
∴ Domain of ((fof)of) = {x: x ϵ Domain of f and f(x) ϵ Domain of (fof)}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and ϵ [6, ∞)}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and ≥ 6}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and x – 2 ≥ 36}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and x ≥ 38}
= [38, ∞)
Now,
(fof)(x) = f(f(x)) = f =
(fofof)(x) = (fof)(f(x)) = (fof) =
∴ fofof : [38, ∞) → R defined as
(fofof)(x) =
Let f be a real function given by . Find each of the following:
(fofof)(38)
We have, f(x) =
Clearly, domain of f = [2, ∞] and range of f = [0, ∞)
We observe that range of f is not a subset of domain of f
∴ Domain of (fof) = {x: x ϵ Domain of f and f(x) ϵ Domain of f}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and ϵ [2, ∞)}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and ≥ 2}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and x – 2 ≥ 4}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and x ≥ 6}
= [6, ∞)
Clearly, range of f = [0, ∞) ⊄ Domain of (fof)
∴ Domain of ((fof)of) = {x: x ϵ Domain of f and f(x) ϵ Domain of (fof)}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and ϵ [6, ∞)}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and ≥ 6}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and x – 2 ≥ 36}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and x ≥ 38}
= [38, ∞)
Now,
(fof)(x) = f(f(x)) = f =
(fofof)(x) = (fof)(f(x)) = (fof) =
∴ fofof : [38, ∞) → R defined as
(fof)(x) = f(f(x)) = f =
(fofof)(x) = (fof)(f(x)) = (fof) =
∴ fofof : [38, ∞) → R defined as
(fofof)(x) =
(fofof)(38) =

Let f be a real function given by . Find each of the following:
f2
Also, show that fof ≠ f2.
We have, f(x) =
Clearly, domain of f = [2, ∞] and range of f = [0, ∞)
We observe that range of f is not a subset of domain of f
∴ Domain of (fof) = {x: x ϵ Domain of f and f(x) ϵ Domain of f}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and ϵ [2, ∞)}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and ≥ 2}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and x – 2 ≥ 4}
= {x: x ϵ [2, ∞) and x ≥ 6}
= [6, ∞)
Now,
(fof)(x) = f(f(x)) = f =
∴ fof: [6, ∞) → R defined as
(fof)(x) =
f2(x) = [f(x)]2 = = x – 2
∴ f2: [2, ∞) → R defined as
f2(x) = x – 2
∴ fof ≠ f2
Let Find fof.
Range of f = [0, 3] ⊂ Domain of f
∴ fof(x) = f(f(x)) = f = f
So, fof(x) =
If f, g: R → R be two functions defined as f(x) = |x| + x and
g(x) = |x|–x for all x ∈ R. Then, find fog and gof. Hence, find fog (–3),
fog (5) and gof(–2).
Domain of f(x) and g(x) is R.
Range of f(x) = [0, ∞) and range of g(x) = [0, ∞)
As, range of f ⊂ Domain of g and range of g ⊂ Domain of f
So, gof and fog exists
Now,
fog(x) = f(g(x)) = f(|x|–x)
⇒ fog(x) = ||x|–x| + |x|–x
As, range of g(x) ≥ 0 so, ||x|–x| = |x|–x
So, fog(x) = ||x|–x| + |x|–x = |x|–x + |x|–x
⇒ fog(x) = 2(|x|–x)
Also,
gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g(|x| + x) = ||x| + x| – (|x| + x)
As, range of f(x) ≥ 0 so, ||x| + x| = |x| + x
So, gof(x) = ||x| + x| – (|x| + x) = |x| + x – (|x| + x) = 0
Thus, gof(x) = 0
Now, fog(– 3) = 2(| – 3|–(– 3)) = 2(3 + 3) = 6,
fog(5) = 2(|5| – 5) = 0, gof(– 2) =0
State with reasons whether the following functions have inverse:
(i) f : [1, 2, 3, 4] → {10} with f = {(1, 10), (2, 10), (3, 10), (4, 10)}
(ii) g : {5, 6, 7, 8} → {1, 2, 3, 4} with g = {(5, 4), (6, 3), (7, 4), (8, 2)}
(iii) h : {2, 3, 4, 5} → {7, 9, 11, 13} with h = {(2, 7), (3, 9), (4, 11), (5, 13)}
(i) f : [1, 2, 3, 4] → {10} with f = {(1, 10), (2, 10), (3, 10), (4, 10)}
Recall that a function is invertible only when it is both one-one and onto.
Here, we have f(1) = 10 = f(2) = f(3) = f(4)
Hence, f is not one-one.
Thus, the function f does not have an inverse.
(ii) g : {5, 6, 7, 8} → {1, 2, 3, 4} with g = {(5, 4), (6, 3), (7, 4), (8, 2)}
Recall that a function is invertible only when it is both one-one and onto.
Here, we have g(5) = 4 = g(7)
Hence, g is not one-one.
Thus, the function g does not have an inverse.
(iii) h : {2, 3, 4, 5} → {7, 9, 11, 13} with h = {(2, 7), (3, 9), (4, 11), (5, 13)}
Recall that a function is invertible only when it is both one-one and onto.
Here, observe that distinct elements of the domain {2, 3, 4, 5} are mapped to distinct elements of the co-domain {7, 9, 11, 13}.
Hence, h is one-one.
Also, each element of the range {7, 9, 11, 13} is the image of some element of {2, 3, 4, 5}.
Hence, h is also onto.
Thus, the function h has an inverse.
Find f-1 if it exists for f: A → B where
(i) A = {0, –1, –3, 2}; B = {–9, –3, 0, 6} & f(x) = 3x
(ii) A = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}; B = {0, 1, 9, 25, 49, 81} & f(x) = x2
(i) A = {0, –1, –3, 2}; B = {–9, –3, 0, 6} & f(x) = 3x
We have f : A → B and f(x) = 3x.
⇒ f = {(0, 3×0), (–1, 3×(-1)), (–3, 3×(-3)), (2, 3×2)}
∴ f = {(0, 0), (–1, –3), (–3, –9), (2, 6)}
Recall that a function is invertible only when it is both one-one and onto.
Here, observe that distinct elements of the domain {0, –1, –3, 2} are mapped to distinct elements of the co-domain {0, –3, –9, 6}.
Hence, f is one-one.
Also, each element of the range {–9, –3, 0, 6} is the image of some element of {0, –1, –3, 2}.
Hence, f is also onto.
Thus, the function f has an inverse.
We have f-1 = {(0, 0), (–3, –1), (–9, –3), (6, 2)}
(ii) A = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}; B = {0, 1, 9, 25, 49, 81} & f(x) = x2
We have f : A → B and f(x) = x2.
⇒ f = {(1, 12), (3, 32), (5, 52), (7, 72), (9, 92)}
∴ f = {(1, 1), (3, 9), (5, 25), (7, 49), (9, 81)}
Recall that a function is invertible only when it is both one-one and onto.
Here, observe that distinct elements of the domain {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} are mapped to distinct elements of the co-domain {1, 9, 25, 49, 81}.
Hence, f is one-one.
However, the element 0 of the range {0, 1, 9, 25, 49, 81} is not the image of any element of {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}.
Hence, f is not onto.
Thus, the function f does not have an inverse.
Consider f : {1, 2, 3} → {a, b, c} and g : {a, b, c} → {apple, ball, cat} defined as f(1) = a, f(2) = b, f(3) = c, g(a) = apple, g(b) = ball and g(c) = cat. Show that f, g and gof are invertible. Find f-1, g-1, (gof)-1 and show that (gof)-1 = f-1og-1.
f : {1, 2, 3} → {a, b, c} and f(1) = a, f(2) = b, f(3) = c
⇒ f = {(1, a), (2, b), (3, c)}
Recall that a function is invertible only when it is both one-one and onto.
Here, observe that distinct elements of the domain {1, 2, 3} are mapped to distinct elements of the co-domain {a, b, c}.
Hence, f is one-one.
Also, each element of the range {a, b, c} is the image of some element of {1, 2, 3}.
Hence, f is also onto.
Thus, the function f has an inverse.
We have f-1 = {(a, 1), (b, 2), (c, 3)}
g : {a, b, c} → {apple, ball, cat} and g(a) = apple, g(b) = ball, g(c) = cat
⇒ g = {(a, apple), (b, ball), (c, cat)}
Similar to the function f, g is also one-one and onto.
Thus, the function g has an inverse.
We have g-1 = {(apple, a), (ball, b), (cat, c)}
We know (gof)(x) = g(f(x))
Thus, gof : {1, 2, 3} → {apple, ball, cat} and
(gof)(1) = g(f(1)) = g(a) = apple
(gof)(2) = g(f(2)) = g(b) = ball
(gof)(3) = g(f(3)) = g(c) = cat
⇒ gof = {(1, apple), (2, ball), (3, cat)}
As the functions f and g, gof is also both one-one and onto.
Thus, the function gof has an inverse.
We have (gof)-1 = {(apple, 1), (ball, 2), (cat, 3)}
Now, let us consider f-1og-1.
We know (f-1og-1)(x) = f-1(g-1(x))
Thus, f-1og-1 : {apple, ball, cat} → {1, 2, 3} and
(f-1og-1)(apple) = f-1(g-1(apple)) = f-1(a) = 1
(f-1og-1)(ball) = f-1(g-1(ball)) = f-1(b) = 2
(f-1og-1)(cat) = f-1(g-1(cat)) = f-1(c) = 3
⇒ f-1og-1 = {(apple, 1), (ball, 2), (cat, 3)}
Therefore, we have (gof)-1 = f-1og-1.
Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4}; B = {3, 5, 7, 9}; C = {7, 23, 47, 79} and f : A → B, g : B → C be defined as f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = x2 – 2. Express (gof)-1 and f-1og-1 as the sets of ordered pairs and verify (gof)-1 = f-1og-1.
We have f : A → B & f(x) = 2x + 1
⇒ f = {(1, 2×1 + 1), (2, 2×2 + 1), (3, 2×3 + 1), (4, 2×4 + 1)}
∴ f = {(1, 3), (2, 5), (3, 7), (4, 9)}
Function f is clearly one-one and onto.
Thus, f-1 exists and f-1 = {(3, 1), (5, 2), (7, 3), (9, 4)}
We have g : B → C & g(x) = x2 – 2
⇒ g = {(3, 32 – 2), (5, 52 – 2), (7, 72 – 2), (9, 92 – 2)}
∴ g = {(3, 7), (5, 23), (7, 47), (9, 79)}
Function g is clearly one-one and onto.
Thus, g-1 exists and g-1 = {(7, 3), (23, 5), (47, 5), (79, 9)}
We know (gof)(x) = g(f(x))
Thus, gof : A → C and
(gof)(1) = g(f(1)) = g(3) = 7
(gof)(2) = g(f(2)) = g(5) = 23
(gof)(3) = g(f(3)) = g(7) = 47
(gof)(4) = g(f(4)) = g(9) = 79
⇒ gof = {(1, 7), (2, 23), (3, 47), (4, 79)}
Clearly, gof is also both one-one and onto.
Thus, the function gof has an inverse.
We have (gof)-1 = {(7, 1), (23, 2), (47, 3), (79, 4)}
Now, let us consider f-1og-1.
We know (f-1og-1)(x) = f-1(g-1(x))
Thus, f-1og-1 : C → A and
(f-1og-1)(7) = f-1(g-1(7)) = f-1(3) = 1
(f-1og-1)(23) = f-1(g-1(23)) = f-1(5) = 2
(f-1og-1)(47) = f-1(g-1(47)) = f-1(7) = 3
(f-1og-1)(79) = f-1(g-1(79)) = f-1(9) = 4
⇒ f-1og-1 = {(7, 1), (23, 2), (47, 3), (79, 4)}
Therefore, we have (gof)-1 = f-1og-1.
Show that the function f : Q → Q defined by f(x) = 3x + 5 is invertible. Also, find f-1.
We have f : Q → Q and f(x) = 3x + 5.
Recall that a function is invertible only when it is both one-one and onto.
First, we will prove that f is one-one.
Let x1, x2ϵ Q (domain) such that f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ 3x1 + 5 = 3x2 + 5
⇒ 3x1 = 3x2
∴ x1 = x2
So, we have f(x1) = f(x2) ⇒ x1 = x2.
Thus, function f is one-one.
Now, we will prove that f is onto.
Let y ϵ Q (co-domain) such that f(x) = y
⇒ 3x + 5 = y
⇒ 3x = y – 5
Clearly, for every y ϵ Q, there exists x ϵ Q (domain) such that f(x) = y and hence, function f is onto.
Thus, the function f has an inverse.
We have f(x) = y ⇒ x = f-1(y)
But, we found f(x) = y ⇒
Hence,
Thus, f(x) is invertible and
Show that the function f : R → R defined by f(x) = 4x + 3 is invertible. Find the inverse of f.
We have f : R → R and f(x) = 4x + 3.
Recall that a function is invertible only when it is both one-one and onto.
First, we will prove that f is one-one.
Let x1, x2ϵ R (domain) such that f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ 4x1 + 3 = 4x2 + 3
⇒ 4x1 = 4x2
∴ x1 = x2
So, we have f(x1) = f(x2) ⇒ x1 = x2.
Thus, function f is one-one.
Now, we will prove that f is onto.
Let y ϵ R (co-domain) such that f(x) = y
⇒ 4x + 3 = y
⇒ 4x = y – 3
Clearly, for every y ϵ R, there exists x ϵ R (domain) such that f(x) = y and hence, function f is onto.
Thus, the function f has an inverse.
We have f(x) = y ⇒ x = f-1(y)
But, we found f(x) = y ⇒
Hence,
Thus, f(x) is invertible and
Consider f : R+→ [4, ∞) given by f(x) = x2 + 4. Show that f is invertible with f-1 of f given by, where R+ is the set of all non-negative real numbers.
We have f : R+→ [4, ∞) and f(x) = x2 + 4.
Recall that a function is invertible only when it is both one-one and onto.
First, we will prove that f is one-one.
Let x1, x2ϵ R+ (domain) such that f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ x12 + 4 = x22 + 4
⇒ x12 = x22
∴ x1 = x2 (x1≠–x2as x1, x2ϵ R+)
So, we have f(x1) = f(x2) ⇒ x1 = x2.
Thus, function f is one-one.
Now, we will prove that f is onto.
Let y ϵ [4, ∞) (co-domain) such that f(x) = y
⇒ x2 + 4 = y
⇒ x2 = y – 4
Clearly, for every y ϵ [4, ∞), there exists x ϵ R+ (domain) such that f(x) = y and hence, function f is onto.
Thus, the function f has an inverse.
We have f(x) = y ⇒ x = f-1(y)
But, we found f(x) = y ⇒
Hence,
Thus, f(x) is invertible and
If, show that (fof)(x) = x for all. What is the inverse of f?
We have
We know (fof)(x) = f(f(x))
As (fof)(x) = x = Ix (the identity function), f(x) = f-1(x).
Thus,
Consider f : R+→ [–5, ∞) given by f(x) = 9x2 + 6x – 5. Show that f is invertible with.
We have f : R+→ [–5, ∞) and f(x) = 9x2 + 6x – 5.
Recall that a function is invertible only when it is both one-one and onto.
First, we will prove that f is one-one.
Let x1, x2ϵ R+ (domain) such that f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ 9x12 + 6x1 – 5 = 9x22 + 6x2 – 5
⇒ 9x12 + 6x1 = 9x22 + 6x2
⇒ 9x12 – 9x22 + 6x1 – 6x2 = 0
⇒ 9(x12 – x22) + 6(x1 – x2) = 0
⇒ 9(x1 – x2)(x1 + x2) + 6(x1 – x2) = 0
⇒ (x1 – x2)[9(x1 + x2) + 6] = 0
⇒ x1 – x2 = 0 (as x1, x2ϵ R+)
∴ x1 = x2
So, we have f(x1) = f(x2) ⇒ x1 = x2.
Thus, function f is one-one.
Now, we will prove that f is onto.
Let y ϵ [–5, ∞) (co-domain) such that f(x) = y
⇒ 9x2 + 6x – 5 = y
Adding 6 to both sides, we get
9x2 + 6x – 5 + 6 = y + 6
⇒ 9x2 + 6x + 1 = y + 6
⇒ (3x + 1)2 = y + 6
Clearly, for every y ϵ [4, ∞), there exists x ϵ R+ (domain) such that f(x) = y and hence, function f is onto.
Thus, the function f has an inverse.
We have f(x) = y ⇒ x = f-1(y)
But, we found f(x) = y ⇒
Hence,
Thus, f(x) is invertible and
If f : R → R be defined by f(x) = x3 – 3, then prove that f-1 exists and find a formula for f-1. Hence, find f-1(24) and f-1(5).
We have f : R → R and f(x) = x3 – 3.
Recall that a function is invertible only when it is both one-one and onto.
First, we will prove that f is one-one.
Let x1, x2ϵ R (domain) such that f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ x13 – 3 = x23 – 3
⇒ x13 = x23
⇒ (x1 – x2)(x12 + x1x2 + x22) = 0
⇒ x1 – x2 = 0 (as x1, x2ϵ R+)
∴ x1 = x2
So, we have f(x1) = f(x2) ⇒ x1 = x2.
Thus, function f is one-one.
Now, we will prove that f is onto.
Let y ϵ R (co-domain) such that f(x) = y
⇒ x3 – 3 = y
⇒ x3 = y + 3
Clearly, for every y ϵ R, there exists x ϵ R (domain) such that f(x) = y and hence, function f is onto.
Thus, the function f has an inverse.
We have f(x) = y ⇒ x = f-1(y)
But, we found f(x) = y ⇒
Hence,
Thus, f(x) is invertible and
Hence, we have
Thus, f-1(24) = 3 and f-1(5) = 2.
A function f : R → R is defined as f(x) = x3 + 4. Is it a bijection or not? In case it is a bijection, find f-1(3).
We have f : R → R and f(x) = x3 + 4.
Recall that a function is a bijection only if it is both one-one and onto.
First, we will check if f is one-one.
Let x1, x2ϵ R (domain) such that f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ x13 + 4 = x23 + 4
⇒ x13 = x23
⇒ (x1 – x2)(x12 + x1x2 + x22) = 0
As x1, x2ϵ R and the second factor has no real roots,
x1 – x2 = 0
∴ x1 = x2
So, we have f(x1) = f(x2) ⇒ x1 = x2.
Thus, function f is one-one.
Now, we will check if f is onto.
Let y ϵ R (co-domain) such that f(x) = y
⇒ x3 + 4 = y
⇒ x3 = y – 4
Clearly, for every y ϵ R, there exists x ϵ R (domain) such that f(x) = y and hence, function f is onto.
Thus, the function f is a bijection and has an inverse.
We have f(x) = y ⇒ x = f-1(y)
But, we found f(x) = y ⇒
Hence,
Thus, f(x) is invertible and
Hence, we have
Thus, f-1(3) = –1.
If f : Q → Q, g : Q → Q are two functions defined by f(x) = 2x and g(x) = x + 2, show that f and g are bijective maps. Verify that (gof)-1 = f-1og-1.
We have f : Q → Q and f(x) = 2x.
Recall that a function is a bijection only if it is both one-one and onto.
First, we will prove that f is one-one.
Let x1, x2ϵ Q (domain) such that f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ 2x1 = 2x2
∴ x1 = x2
So, we have f(x1) = f(x2) ⇒ x1 = x2.
Thus, function f is one-one.
Now, we will prove that f is onto.
Let y ϵ Q (co-domain) such that f(x) = y
⇒ 2x = y
Clearly, for every y ϵ Q, there exists x ϵ Q (domain) such that f(x) = y and hence, function f is onto.
Thus, the function f is a bijection and has an inverse.
We have f(x) = y ⇒ x = f-1(y)
But, we found f(x) = y ⇒
Hence,
Thus,
Now, we have g : Q → Q and g(x) = x + 2.
First, we will prove that g is one-one.
Let x1, x2ϵ Q (domain) such that g(x1) = g(x2)
⇒ x1 + 2 = x2 + 2
∴ x1 = x2
So, we have g(x1) = g(x2) ⇒ x1 = x2.
Thus, function g is one-one.
Now, we will prove that g is onto.
Let y ϵ Q (co-domain) such that g(x) = y
⇒ x + 2 = y
∴ x = y – 2
Clearly, for every y ϵ Q, there exists x ϵ Q (domain) such that g(x) = y and hence, function g is onto.
Thus, the function g is a bijection and has an inverse.
We have g(x) = y ⇒ x = g-1(y)
But, we found g(x) = y ⇒ x = y – 2
Hence, g-1(y) = y – 2
Thus, g-1(x) = x – 2
We have (f-1og-1)(x) = f-1(g-1(x))
We found and g-1(x) = x – 2
⇒ (f-1og-1)(x) = f-1(x – 2)
We know (gof)(x) = g(f(x)) and gof : Q → Q
⇒ (gof)(x) = g(2x)
∴ (gof)(x) = 2x + 2
Clearly, gof is a bijection and has an inverse.
Let y ϵ Q (co-domain) such that (gof)(x) = y
⇒ 2x + 2 = y
⇒ 2x = y – 2
We have (gof)(x) = y ⇒ x = (gof)-1(y)
But, we found (gof)(x) = y ⇒
Hence,
Thus,
So, it is verified that (gof)-1 = f-1og-1.
Let A = R – {3} and B = R – {1}. Consider the function f : A → B defined by. Show that f is one-one and onto and hence find f-1.
We have f : A → B where A = R – {3} and B = R – {1}
First, we will prove that f is one-one.
Let x1, x2ϵ A (domain) such that f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ (x1 – 2)(x2 – 3) = (x1 – 3)(x2 – 2)
⇒ x1x2 – 3x1 – 2x2 + 6 = x1x2 – 2x1 – 3x2 + 6
⇒ –3x1 – 2x2 = –2x1 – 3x2
⇒ –3x1 + 2x1 = 2x2 – 3x2
⇒ –x1 = –x2
∴ x1 = x2
So, we have f(x1) = f(x2) ⇒ x1 = x2.
Thus, function f is one-one.
Now, we will prove that f is onto.
Let y ϵ B (co-domain) such that f(x) = y
Clearly, for every y ϵ B, there exists x ϵ A (domain) such that f(x) = y and hence, function f is onto.
Thus, the function f has an inverse.
We have f(x) = y ⇒ x = f-1(y)
But, we found f(x) = y ⇒
Hence,
Thus, f(x) is invertible and
Consider the function f : R+→ [–9, ∞) given by f(x) = 5x2 + 6x – 9. Prove that f is invertible with.
We have f : R+→ [–9, ∞) and f(x) = 5x2 + 6x – 9.
Recall that a function is invertible only when it is both one-one and onto.
First, we will prove that f is one-one.
Let x1, x2ϵ R+ (domain) such that f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ 5x12 + 6x1 – 9 = 5x22 + 6x2 – 9
⇒ 5x12 + 6x1 = 5x22 + 6x2
⇒ 5x12 – 5x22 + 6x1 – 6x2 = 0
⇒ 5(x12 – x22) + 6(x1 – x2) = 0
⇒ 5(x1 – x2)(x1 + x2) + 6(x1 – x2) = 0
⇒ (x1 – x2)[5(x1 + x2) + 6] = 0
⇒ x1 – x2 = 0 (as x1, x2ϵ R+)
∴ x1 = x2
So, we have f(x1) = f(x2) ⇒ x1 = x2.
Thus, function f is one-one.
Now, we will prove that f is onto.
Let y ϵ [–9, ∞) (co-domain) such that f(x) = y
⇒ 5x2 + 6x – 9 = y
Adding to both sides, we get
Clearly, for every y ϵ [–9, ∞), there exists x ϵ R+ (domain) such that f(x) = y and hence, function f is onto.
Thus, the function f has an inverse.
We have f(x) = y ⇒ x = f-1(y)
But, we found f(x) = y ⇒
Hence,
Let f : N → N be a function defined as f(x) = 9x2 + 6x – 5. Show that f : N → S, where S is the range of f, is invertible. Find the inverse of f and hence find f-1(43) and f-1(163).
We have f : N → N and f(x) = 9x2 + 6x – 5.
We need to prove f : N → S is invertible.
Recall that a function is invertible only when it is both one-one and onto.
First, we will prove that f is one-one.
Let x1, x2ϵ N (domain) such that f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ 9x12 + 6x1 – 5 = 9x22 + 6x2 – 5
⇒ 9x12 + 6x1 = 9x22 + 6x2
⇒ 9x12 – 9x22 + 6x1 – 6x2 = 0
⇒ 9(x12 – x22) + 6(x1 – x2) = 0
⇒ 9(x1 – x2)(x1 + x2) + 6(x1 – x2) = 0
⇒ (x1 – x2)[9(x1 + x2) + 6] = 0
⇒ x1 – x2 = 0 (as x1, x2ϵ R+)
∴ x1 = x2
So, we have f(x1) = f(x2) ⇒ x1 = x2.
Thus, function f is one-one.
Now, we will prove that f is onto.
Let y ϵ S (co-domain) such that f(x) = y
⇒ 9x2 + 6x – 5 = y
Adding 6 to both sides, we get
9x2 + 6x – 5 + 6 = y + 6
⇒ 9x2 + 6x + 1 = y + 6
⇒ (3x + 1)2 = y + 6
Clearly, for every y ϵ S, there exists x ϵ N (domain) such that f(x) = y and hence, function f is onto.
Thus, the function f has an inverse.
We have f(x) = y ⇒ x = f-1(y)
But, we found f(x) = y ⇒
Hence,
Thus, f(x) is invertible and
Hence, we have
Thus, f-1(43) = 2 and f-1(163) = 4.
Let f : R – → R be a function defined as. Show that f : R – → range(f) is one-one and onto. Hence, find f-1.
We have f : R – → R and
We need to prove f : R – → range(f) is invertible.
First, we will prove that f is one-one.
Let x1, x2ϵ A (domain) such that f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ (4x1)(3x2 + 4) = (3x1 + 4)(4x2)
⇒ 12x1x2 + 16x1 = 12x1x2 + 16x2
⇒ 16x1 = 16x2
∴ x1 = x2
So, we have f(x1) = f(x2) ⇒ x1 = x2.
Thus, function f is one-one.
Now, we will prove that f is onto.
Let y ϵ range(f) (co-domain) such that f(x) = y
⇒ 4x = 3xy + 4y
⇒ 4x – 3xy = 4y
⇒ x(4 – 3y) = 4y
Clearly, for every y ϵ range(f), there exists x ϵ A (domain) such that f(x) = y and hence, function f is onto.
Thus, the function f has an inverse.
We have f(x) = y ⇒ x = f-1(y)
But, we found f(x) = y ⇒
Hence,
Thus, f(x) is invertible and
If f: R → (–1, 1) defined by is invertible, find f-1.
We have f: R → (–1, 1) and
Given that f-1 exists.
Let y ϵ (–1, 1) such that f(x) = y
⇒ 102x – 1 = y (102x + 1)
⇒ 102x – 1 = 102xy + y
⇒ 102x – 102xy = 1 + y
⇒ 102x (1 – y) = 1 + y
Taking log10 on both sides, we get
We have f(x) = y ⇒ x = f-1(y)
But, we found f(x) = y ⇒
Hence,
Thus,
If f: R → (0, 2) defined by is invertible, find f-1.
We have f: R → (0, 2) and
Given that f-1 exists.
Let y ϵ (0, 2) such that f(x) = y
⇒ 2e2x = y (e2x + 1)
⇒ 2e2x = e2xy + y
⇒ 2e2x – e2xy = y
⇒ e2x (2 – y) = y
Taking ln on both sides, we get
We have f(x) = y ⇒ x = f-1(y)
But, we found f(x) = y ⇒
Hence,
Thus,
Let f : [–1, ∞) → [–1, ∞) is given by f(x) = (x + 1)2 – 1. Show that f is invertible. Also, find the set S = {x: f(x) = f-1(x)}
We have f : [–1, ∞) → [–1, ∞) and f(x) = (x + 1)2 – 1
Recall that a function is invertible only when it is both one-one and onto.
First, we will prove that f is one-one.
Let x1, x2ϵ [–1, ∞) (domain) such that f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ (x1 + 1)2 – 1 = (x2 + 1)2 – 1
⇒ (x1 + 1)2 = (x2 + 1)2
⇒ x12 + 2x1 + 1 = x22 + 2x2 + 1
⇒ x12 + 2x1 = x22 + 2x2
⇒ x12 – x22 + 2x1 – 2x2 = 0
⇒ (x12 – x22) + 2(x1 – x2) = 0
⇒ (x1 – x2)(x1 + x2) + 2(x1 – x2) = 0
⇒ (x1 – x2)[x1 + x2 + 2] = 0
⇒ x1 – x2 = 0 (as x1, x2ϵ R+)
∴ x1 = x2
So, we have f(x1) = f(x2) ⇒ x1 = x2.
Thus, function f is one-one.
Now, we will prove that f is onto.
Let y ϵ [–1, ∞) (co-domain) such that f(x) = y
⇒ (x + 1)2 – 1 = y
⇒ (x + 1)2 = y + 1
Clearly, for every y ϵ [–1, ∞), there exists x ϵ [–1, ∞) (domain) such that f(x) = y and hence, function f is onto.
Thus, the function f has an inverse.
We have f(x) = y ⇒ x = f-1(y)
But, we found f(x) = y ⇒
Hence,
Thus, f(x) is invertible and
Now, we need to find the values of x for which f(x) = f-1(x).
We have f(x) = f-1(x)
We can write
On substituting, we get
t4 = t
⇒ t4 – t = 0
⇒ t (t3 – 1) = 0
⇒ t (t – 1)(t2 + t + 1) = 0
t2 + t + 1 ≠ 0 because this equation has no real root t.
⇒ t = 0 or t – 1 = 0
⇒ t = 0 or t = 1
Case – I: t = 0
⇒ x + 1 = 0
∴ x = –1
Case – II: t = 1
⇒ x + 1 = 1
∴ x = 0
Thus, S = {0, –1}
Let A = {x ϵ R | –1 ≤ x ≤ 1} and let f : A → A, g : A → A be two functions defined by f(x) = x2 and g(x) = sin πx/2. Show that g-1 exists but f-1 does not exist. Also, find g-1.
We have f : A → A where A = {x ϵ R | –1 ≤ x ≤ 1} defined by f(x) = x2.
Recall that a function is invertible only when it is both one-one and onto.
First, we will check if f is one-one.
Let x1, x2ϵ A (domain) such that f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ x12 = x22
⇒ x12 – x22 = 0
⇒ (x1 – x2)(x1 + x2) = 0
⇒ x1 – x2 = 0 or x1 + x2 = 0
∴ x1 = ±x2
So, we have f(x1) = f(x2) ⇒ x1 = ±x2.
This means that two different elements of the domain are mapped to the same element by the function f.
For example, consider f(–1) and f(1).
We have f(–1) = (–1)2 = 1 and f(1) = 12 = 1 = f(–1)
Thus, f is not one-one and hence f-1 doesn’t exist.
Now, let us consider g : A → A defined by g(x) = sin
First, we will prove that g is one-one.
Let x1, x2ϵ A (domain) such that g(x1) = g(x2)
(in the given range)
∴ x1 = x2
So, we have g(x1) = g(x2) ⇒ x1 = x2.
Thus, function g is one-one.
Let y ϵ A (co-domain) such that g(x) = y
Clearly, for every y ϵ A, there exists x ϵ A (domain) such that g(x) = y and hence, function g is onto.
Thus, the function g has an inverse.
We have g(x) = y ⇒ x = g-1(y)
But, we found g(x) = y ⇒
Hence,
Thus, g(x) is invertible and
Let f be a function from R to R such that f(x) = cos (x + 2). Is f invertible? Justify your answer.
We have f : R → R and f(x) = cos (x + 2).
Recall that a function is invertible only when it is both one-one and onto.
First, we will check if f is one-one.
Let x1, x2ϵ R (domain) such that f(x1) = f(x2)
⇒ cos (x1 + 2) = cos (x2 + 2)
As the cosine function repeats itself with a period 2π, we have
x1 + 2 = x2 + 2 or x1 + 2 = 2π + (x2 + 2)
∴ x1 = x2 or x1 = 2π + x2
So, we have f(x1) = f(x2) ⇒ x1 = x2 or 2π + x2
This means that two different elements of the domain are mapped to the same element by the function f.
For example, consider f(0) and f(2π).
We have f(0) = cos (0 + 2) = cos 2 and
f(2π) = cos (2π + 2) = cos 2 = f(0)
Thus, f is not one-one.
Hence, f is not invertible and f-1 does not exist.
If A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and B = {a, b, c, d}, define any four bijections from A to B. Also, give their inverse function.
Given A = {1, 2, 3, 4} and B = {a, b, c, d}.
We need to define bijections f1, f2, f3 and f4 from A to B.
Consider f1 = {(1, a), (2, b), (3, c), (4, d)}
(1) f1 is one-one because no two elements of the domain are mapped to the same element.
f1 is also onto because each element in the co-domain has a pre-image in the domain.
Thus, f1 is a bijection from A to B.
We have f1-1 = {(a, 1), (b, 2), (c, 3), (d, 4)}
Using similar explanation, we also have the following bijections defined from A to B -
(2) f2 = {(1, b), (2, c), (3, d), (4, a)}
We have f2-1 = {(b, 1), (c, 2), (d, 3), (a, 4)}
(3) f3 = {(1, c), (2, d), (3, a), (4, b)}
We have f3-1 = {(c, 1), (d, 2), (a, 3), (b, 4)}
(4) f4 = {(1, d), (2, a), (3, b), (4, c)}
We have f4-1 = {(d, 1), (a, 2), (b, 3), (c, 4)}
Let A and B be two sets each with finite number of elements. Assume that there is an injective map from A to B and that there is an injective map from B to A. Prove that there is a bijection from A to B.
Given A and B are two finite sets. There are injective maps from both A to B and B to A.
Let f be the injective map defined from A to B.
Thus, we have f is one-one.
We also know that there is a one-one mapping from B to A.
This means that each element of B is mapped to a distinct element of A.
But, B is the co-domain of f and A is the domain of f.
So, every element of the co-domain of the function f has a pre-image in the domain of the function f.
Thus, f is also onto.
Therefore, f is a bijection as it is both one-one and onto.
Hence, there exists a bijection defined from A to B.
If f : A → A and g : A → A are two bijections, then prove that
(i) fog is an injection
(ii) fog is a surjection
Given f : A → A and g : A → A are two bijections. So, both f and g are one-one and onto functions.
We know (fog)(x) = f(g(x))
Thus, fog is also defined from A to A.
(i) First, we will prove that fog is an interjection.
Let x1, x2ϵ A (domain) such that (fog)(x1) = (fog)(x2)
⇒ f(g(x1)) = f(g(x2))
⇒ g(x1) = g(x2) [since f is one-one]
∴ x1 = x2 [since g is one-one]
So, we have (fog)(x1) = (fog)(x2) ⇒ x1 = x2.
Thus, function fog is an interjection.
(ii) Now, we will prove that fog is a surjection.
Let z ϵ A, the co-domain of fog.
As f is onto, we have y ϵ A (domain of f) such that f(y) = z.
However, as g is also onto and y belongs to the co-domain of g, we have x ϵ A (domain of g) such that g(x) = y.
Hence, (fog)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(y) = z.
Here, x belongs to the domain of fog (A) and z belongs to the co-domain of fog (A).
Thus, function fog is a surjection.

A. S defines a function from A to B
B. S0 defines a function from A to C
C. S0 defines a function from A to B
D. S defines a function from A to C
Given that
A = {x ϵ R: –1 ≤ x ≤ 1} = B
C = {x ϵ R: X ≥ 0}
S = {(x, y) ϵ A × B: x2 + y2 = 1}
S0 = {(x, y) ϵ A × C: x2 + y2 = 1}
x2 + y2 = 1
⇒ y2 =1 - x2
∴ y ϵ B
Hence, S defines a function from A to B.
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
f: R → R given by is
A. injective B. surjective
C. bijective D. none of these
Given function is f: R → R given
f(x) = x + √x2
For this function if we take x = 2,
f(x) = 2 + √4
⇒ f(x) =2
For this function if we take x = -2,
f(x) = -2 + √4
⇒ f(x) = 0
So, in general for every negative x, f(x) will be always 0. There is no x ϵ R for which f(x) ϵ (-∞, 0).
Hence, it is neither injective nor surjective and so it is not bijective either.
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
If f : A → B given by 3f(x) + 2–x = 4 is a bijection, then
A. A = {x ϵ R : –1 < x < ∞}, B = {x ϵ R : 2 < x < 4}
B. A = {x ϵ R : –3 < x < ∞}, B = {x ϵ R : 0 < x < 4}
C. A = {x ϵR : –2 < x < ∞}, B = {x ϵ R : 0 < x < 4}
D. none of these
Given that f: A → B given by 3f(x) + 2–x = 4 is a bijection.
3f(x) + 2–x = 4
⇒ 3f(x) = 4 - 2–x
⇒ 4 - 2–x ≥ 0
⇒ 4 ≥ 2–x
⇒ 2 ≥ -x
⇒ x ≥ -2
So, x ϵ (-2, ∞)
But, for x =0, f(x) = 1.
Hence, the correct option is none of these.
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
The function f : R → R defined by f(x) = 2x + 2|x| is
A. one-one and onto
B. many-one and onto
C. one-one and into
D. many-one and into
Given that f: R → R where f(x) = 2x + 2|x|
Here, for each value of x we will get different value of f(x).
So, it is one-one.
Also, f(x) is always positive for x ϵ R.
There is no x ϵ R for which f(x) ϵ (-∞, 0).
So, it is into.
Hence, the given function is one-one and into.
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
Let the function f : R – {–b} → R – {1} be defined by then
A. f is one-one but not onto
B. f is onto but not one-one
C. f is both one-one and onto
D. none of these
Given that f: R – {–b} → R – {1} where
Here, f(x) = f(y) only when x=y.
Hence, it is one-one.
Now, f(x) = y
⇒ x + a = y(x + b)
⇒ x – yx = yb – a
So, x ϵ R – {1}
Hence, it is onto.
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
The function f : A → B defined by f(x) = –x2 + 6x – 8 is a bijection, if
A. A = (–∞, 5] and B = (–∞, 1]
B. A = [–3, ∞] and B = (–∞, 1]
C. A = (–∞, 3] and B = [1, ∞)
D. A = [3, ∞) and B = [1, ∞)
Given that f: A → B defined by f(x) = –x2 + 6x – 8 is a bijection.
f(x) = –x2 + 6x – 8
⇒ f(x) = –(x2 - 6x + 8)
⇒ f(x) = - (x2 - 6x + 8 + 1 - 1)
⇒ f(x) = - (x2 - 6x + 9 - 1)
⇒ f(x) = - [(x – 3)2 – 1]
Hence, x ϵ (–∞, 5] and f(x) ϵ (–∞, 1]
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
Let A = {x ϵR : –1 ≤ x ≤ 1} = B. Then, the mapping f : A → B given by f(x) = x |x| is
A. injective but not surjective
B. surjective but not injective
C. bijective
D. none of these
Given that A = {x ϵ R: –1 ≤ x ≤ 1} = B. Then, the mapping f: A → B given by f(x) = x |x|.
For x <0, f(x) <0
⇒ y = -x2
⇒ x = √-y, which is not possible for x > 0.
Hence, f is one-one and onto.
∴ the given function is bijective.
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
Let f: R → R be given by f(x) = [x]2 + [x + 1]–3, where [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x. Then, f(x) is
A. many-one and onto
B. many-one and into
C. one-one and into
D. one-one and onto
Given that f: R → R be given by f(x) = [x]2 + [x + 1] – 3
As [x] is the greatest integer so for different values of x, we will get same value of f(x).
[x]2 + [x + 1] will always be an integer.
So, f is many-one.
Similarly, in this function co domain is mapped with at most one element of domain because for every x ϵ R, f(x) ϵ Z.
So, f is into.
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
Let M be the set of all 2 × 2 matrices with entries from the set R of real numbers. Then the function f : M → R defined by f(A) = |A| for every A ϵ M, is

B. neither one-one nor onto
C. one-one not one-one
D. onto but not one-one
Given that M is the set of all 2 × 2 matrices with entries from the set R of real numbers. Then the function f: M → R defined by f(A) = |A| for every A ϵ M.
If f(a) =f(b)
⇒ |a| = |b|
But this does not mean that a=b.
So, f is not one-one.
As a ≠ b but |a|=|b|
So, f is onto.
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
The function f : [0, ∞) → R given by f(x) is
A. one-one and onto
B. one-one but not onto
C. onto but not one-one
D. neither one-one nor onto
Given that f: [0, ∞) → R where
Let f(x) = f(y)
⇒ xy + x = xy + y
⇒ x = y
So, f is one-one.
Now, y = f(x)
⇒ xy + y = x
⇒ y = x – xy
Here, y≠1 i.e. y ϵ R.
So, f is not onto.
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

B. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
C. {1, 2, 3, 4}
D. {1, 2, 3}
Given that f(x) = 7–xPx–3
Here, 7-x ≥ x-3
⇒ 10 ≥ 2x
⇒ 5 ≥ x
So, domain = {3, 4, 5}
Range = {4P0, 3P1, 2P2} = {1, 3, 2}
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
A function f from the set on natural numbers to integers defined by
..is
A. neither one-one nor onto
B. one-one but not onto
C. onto but not one-one
D. one-one and onto both
Given that a function f from the set on natural numbers to integers where
For n is odd
Let f(n) = f(m)
⇒ n = m
For n is even
Let f(n) = f(m)
⇒ n = m
So, f is one-one.
Also, each element of y is associated with at least one element of x, so f is onto.
Hence, f is one-one and onto.
Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
Let f be an injective map with domain {x, y, z} and range {1, 2, 3} such that exactly one of the following statements is correct and the remaining are false.

The value of f–1(1) is
A. x
B. y
C. z
D. none of these
Given that f is an injective map with domain {x, y, z} and range {1, 2, 3}.
Case-1
Let us assume that f(x) =1 is true and f(y) ≠ 1, f(z) ≠ 2 is false.
Then f(x) = 1, f(y) = 1 and f(z) = 2.
This violates the injectivity of f because it is one-one.
Case-2
Let us assume that f(y) ≠1 is true and f(x)= 1, f(z) ≠ 2 is false.
Then f(x) ≠ 1, f(y) ≠ 1 and f(z) = 2.
This means there is no pre image of 1 which contradicts the fact that the range of f is {1, 2, 3}.
Case-3
Let us assume that f(z) ≠2 is true and f(x)= 1, f(y) ≠ 1 is false.
Then f(z) ≠ 2, f(y) = 1 and f(x) ≠1.

A. f(x) = x3

C. f(x) = 2x + 1
D. f(x) = x2 + x
a. f(x) = x3
⇒ For no value of x ϵ Z, f(x) = 2.
Hence, it is not bijection.
b. f(x) = x + 2
If f(x) = f(y)
⇒ x + 2 = y + 2
⇒ x = y
So, f is one-one.
Also, y = x + 2
⇒ x = y – 2 ϵ Z
So, f is onto.
Hence, this function is bijection.
c. f(x) = 2x + 1
If f(x) = f(y)
⇒ 2x + 1 = 2y + 1
⇒ x = y
So, f is one-one.
Also, y = 2x + 1
⇒ 2x = y – 1
So, f is into because x can never be odd for any value of y.
d. f(x) = x2 + x
For this function if we take x = 2,
f(x) = 4 + 2
⇒ f(x) = 6
For this function if we take x = -2,
f(x) = 4 - 2
⇒ f(x) = 2
So, in general for every negative x, f(x) will be always 0. There is no x ϵ R for which f(x) ϵ (-∞, 0).
It is not bijection.

Given that A = {x: –1 ≤ x ≤ 1} and f: A → A such that f(x) = x |x|.

Given that a function f : [2, ∞) → B defined by f(x) = x2 – 4x + 5 is a bijection.
Put x = 2 in f(x),
f(x) = 22 – 4× 2 + 5
⇒ f(x=2) = 4 – 8 + 5
⇒ f(x=2) = 1
So, B ϵ [1, ∞)

D. neither one-one nor onto
Given that function f : R → R where f(x) = (x – 1) (x – 2) (x – 3)
If f(x) = f(y)
Then
(x – 1) (x – 2) (x – 3) = (y – 1) (y – 2) (y – 3)
⇒ f(1) = f(2) = f(3) = 0
So, f is not one-one.
y = f(x)
∵ x ϵ R also y ϵ R so f is onto.

D. neither an injection nor a surjection
Given that f : [–1/2, 1/2] → [π/2, π/2] where f(x) = sin–1 (3x – 4x3)
Put x = sinθ in f(x) = sin–1 (3x – 4x3)
⇒ f(x=sinθ) = sin–1 (3sinθ – 4sinθ3)
⇒ f(x) = sin–1 (sin3θ)
⇒ f(x) = 3θ
⇒ f(x) = 3 sin–1x
If f(x) = f(y)
Then
3 sin–1x = 3 sin–1y
⇒ x = y
So, f is one-one.
y = 3 sin–1x
∵ x ϵ R also y ϵ R so f is onto.
Hence, f is bijection.
