Answer Key:
f = {(1, 2) (2, 2) (3, 2) (4, 3) (5,4)}
Let A = {1,2, 3, 4, 5}
B = {2, 3, 4}
(i) Arrow diagram
Show that the function f : N → N defined by f(x) = 2x – 1 is one-one but not onto.
Answer Key:
f: N → N
N = {1,2,3,4,5,… }
f(x) = 2x – 1
f(1) = 2(1) – 1 = 2 – 1 = 1
f(2) = 2(2) – 1 = 4 – 1 = 3
f(3) = 2(3) – 1 = 6 – 1 = 5
f(4) = 2(4) – 1 = 8 – 1 = 7
f(5) = 2(5) – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9
f = {(1,1) (2, 3) (3, 5) (4, 7) (5,9) …..}
(ii) Here Range is not equal to co-domain. This function not an onto function.
∴ The given function is one-one but not an onto.
Question 5.
Show that the function f: N ⇒ N defined by f(m) = m2 + m + 3 is one-one function.
Answer Key:
N = {1,2,3, 4,5, ….. }
f(m) = m2 + m + 3
f(1) = 12 + 1 + 3 = 5
f(2) = 22 + 2 + 3 = 9
f(3) = 32 + 3 + 3 = 15
f(4) = 42 + 4 + 3 = 23
f = {(1,5) (2, 9) (3, 15) (4, 23)}
∴ The function is a one-one function.

Answer Key:
A = {1, 2, 3, 4}
B = N
f: A → B,f(x) = x3
(i) f(1) = 13 = 1
f(2) = 23 = 8
f(3) = 33 = 27
f(4) = 43 = 64
(ii) Therange of f = {1, 8, 27, 64 )
(iii) It is one-one and into function.
Question 7.
In each of the following cases state whether the function is bijective or not. Justify your Answer Key.
(i) f: R → R defined by f (x) = 2x + 1
(ii) f: R → R defined by f(x) = 3 – 4x2
Answer Key:
(i) f(x) = 2x + 1
f(0) = 2(0) + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1
f(1) = 2(1) + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3
f(2) = 2(2) + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5
f(3) = 2(3) + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7
Different elements has different images
∴ It is an one-one function.
It is also an onto function. The function is one-one and onto function.
∴ It is a bijective function.
(ii) f(x) = 3 – 4x2
f(1) = 3 – 4(1)2
= 3 – 4 = -1
f(2) = 3 – 4(2)2 = 3 – 16 = – 13
f(3) = 3 – 4(3)2 = 3 – 36 = – 33
f(4) = 3 – 4(42) = 3 – 64 = – 61
It is not a bijective function. The positive numbers “R” do not have negative pre – image in X in R.
Question 8.
Let A= {-1,1}and B = {0,2}.
If the function f: A → B defined by
f(x) = ax + b is an onto function? Find a and b.
Answer Key:
A = {-1, 1}; B = {0,2}
f(x) = ax + b
f(-1) = a(-1) + b
0 = -a + b
a – b = 0 ….(1)
f(1) = a(1) + b
2 = a + b
a + b = 2 ….(2)
Solving (1) and (2) we get
a-b = 0 …..(1)
a+b = 2 …..(2)
________________
(1)+ (2) ⟹2a = 2
a =2/3 = 1Substitute a = 1 in (1)
The value of a = 1 and b = 1
Question 9.
If the function f is defined by
(i) f(3)
(ii) f(0)
(iii) f(1. 5)
(iv) f(2) + f(-2)
Answer Key:
f(x) = x + 2 when x = {2,3,4,……}
f(x) = 2
f(x) = x – 1 when x = {-2}
(i) f(x) = x + 2
f(3) = 3 + 2 = 5
(ii) f(x) = 2
f(0) = 2
(iii) f(x) = x – 1
f(-1.5) = -1.5 – 1 = -2.5
(iv) f(x) = x + 2
f(2) = 2 + 2 = 4
f(x) = x – 1
f(-2) = – 2 – 1 = – 3
f(2) + f(-2) = 4 – 3
= 1
Question 10.
A function f: [-5, 9] → R is defined as follows:
f(x) = 5x2 – 1 ; x = {2, 3, 4, 5}
f(x) = 3x – 4 ; x = {6, 7, 8, 9}
(i) f(-3) + f(2)
f(x) = 6x + 1
f(-3) = 6(-3) + 1 = -18 + 1 = -17
f(x) = 5x2 – 1
f(2) = 5(2)2 – 1 = 20 – 1 = + 19
f(-3) + f(2) = – 17 + 19
= 2
(ii) f(7) – f(1)
f(x) = 3x – 4
f(7) = 3(7) – 4 = 21 – 4 = 17
f(x) = 6x + 1
f(1) = 6(1) + 1 = 6 + 1 = 7
f(7) – f(1) = 17 – 7
= 10
(iii) 2f(4) + f(8)
f(x) = 5x2 – 1
f(4) = 5(4)2 – 1 = 5(16) – 1
= 80 – 1 = 79
f(x) = 3x – 4
f(8) = 3(8) – 4 = 24 – 4 = 20
2f(4) + f(8) = 2(79) + 20
= 158 + 20
= 178
f(-2) = 6(-2) + 1 = -12 + 1 = -11
f(x) = 3x – 4
f(6) = 3(6) – 4 = 18 – 4 = 14
f(x) = 5x2 – 1
f(4) = 5(4)2 – 1 = 5(16) – 1
= 80 – 1 = 79
f(x) = 6x + 1
f(-2) = 6(-2) + 1 = -12 + 1 = -11
The distance S an object travels under the influence of gravity in time t seconds is given by S(t) = 1/2 gt2 + at + b where, (g is the acceleration due to gravity), a, b are constants. Check if the function S (t)is one-one.
Answer Key:
S(t) = 1/2 gt2 + at + b
Let t be 1, 2, 3, ………, seconds
S(1) = 1/2 g(12) + a(1) + b = 12 g + a + b
S(2) = 1/2 g(22) + a(2) + b = 2g + 2a + b
Yes, for every different values of t, there will be different values as images. And there will be different pre images for the different values of the range. Therefore it is one-one function.
Question 12.
The function ‘t’ which maps temperature in Celsius (C) into temperature in Fahrenheit (F) is defined by
t(C) = F where F = 9/5 C + 32. Find,
(i) t(0)
(ii) t(28)
(iii) t(-10)
(iv) the value of C when t(C) = 212
(v) the temperature when the Celsius value is equal to the Fahrenheit value.
Answer Key:
Given t(C) = 9C/5 + 32
(i) t(0) = 9(0)/5 + 32
= 32° F
(ii) t(28) = 9(28)/5 + 32
= 252/5 + 32
= 50.4 + 32
= 82.4° F
(iii) t(-10) = 9(−10)/5 + 32
= -18 + 32
= 14° F
(iv) t(C) = 212
9C/5 + 32 = 212
9C/5 = 212 – 32
= 180
9C = 180 × 5
C = 180×5/9
= 100° C
(v) consider the value of C be “x”
t(C) = 9C/5 + 32
x = 9x/5 + 32
5x = 9x + 160
-160 = 9x – 5x
-160 = 4x
x = −160/4 = -40
The temperature when the Celsius value is equal to the fahrenheit value is -40°
