Functions Excercise:2.1

Functions exercise 2.1 question1(i)

$f(x)=2x$
Given:
The example for a function which is one-one but not onto.
Hint:
One-one function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain
. $f(x_1)=f(x_2)$ , then $x_1=x_2$
Where, $X_1,X_2$ domain of $f(x)$
Onto function defined as every element in the co-domain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
Solution:
Here, we need to give an example of a function for one-one but not onto.
Let we consider the function,
$f:N \rightarrow N$ , given by $f(x)=2N$
Let us consider two elements $x_1$ and $x_2$ in the domain of f, so we get
$f(x_1)=2x_1$ and $f(x_2)=x_2$
Now we know the condition for finding a one-one function.
$2x_1= 2x_2$
$x_1= x_2$
Hence, the function is one-one.
Now, we need to prove $f(x)=2x$ is not onto
Let $f(x)=y$ , such that x, $y\in N$
We get,
$2x=y$
$x=\frac{y}{2}$
If we put $y=1,$
$x=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$ , which is cannot be true as $x \in N$ supposed in solution.
Hence, the given function is not onto.
So, $f(x)=2x$ is an example of one-one but not onto function.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 1 (ii)

$f(x)=y$
Given:
The example for a function which is not one-one but onto.
Hint:
One-one function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain. If one-one is given for any function. $f(x_1)=f(x_2)$ , then $x_1=x_2$
Where, $x_1,x_2 \in$ domain of $f(x)$
Onto function defined as every element in the co-domain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
Solution:
Here, we need to give an example of a function for a not one-one but onto function.
Let the function $f:N \rightarrow N$ , given by $f(1)=f(2)=1$
Here, $f(x)=f(2)=1$
$f(x)=f(1)=1$
Since different elements $1,2$ have same image 1,
$\therefore f$ is not one-one.
Let $f(x)=y$ , such that $y\in N$
Here,y is a natural number and for every y there is a value of x which is a natural number.
Hence,f is onto.
So, the function $f:N \rightarrow N$ , given by $f(1)=f(2)=1$ is not one-one but onto.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 1 (iii)

The example for a function which is neither one-one nor onto.
Hint:
One-one function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain. If one-one is given for any function $f(x)$ as if $f(x_1)=f(x_2)$ , then $x_1=x_2$
Where, $x_1,x_2\in$ domain of $f(x)$
Onto function means every element in the co-domain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
Solution:
Let function $f:N \rightarrow N$ , given by $f(x)=x^2$
Calculate $f(x_1)$ and $f(x_2)$
$\begin{aligned} &f\left(x_{1}\right)=x_{1}^{2} \\ &f\left(x_{2}\right)=x_{2}^{2} \\ &\left(x_{1}\right)^{2}=\left(x_{2}\right)^{2} \\ &x_{1}=x_{2} \text { or } x_{1}=-x_{2} \end{aligned}$
Since, $x_1$ doesn’t have unique image,
Now,
$f(x)=x^2$
Let $f(x)=y$ such that $y\in R$
$x^2=y$
$x=\pm \sqrt{y}$
Since y is real number, then it can be negative also.
If $y=-2, x=\pm \sqrt{-2}$ which is not possible as the root of a negative number is not real.
Hence,x is not real, so f is not onto.
$\therefore$ Function $f:N \rightarrow N$ given by $f(x)=x^2$ is neither one-one nor onto.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 2 (i)

$f_1$ is one-one and onto function.
Given:
$f_{1}=\{(1,3),(2,5),(3,7)\} ; A=\{1,2,3\} ; B=\{3,5,7\}$
Hint:
One-one function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain.
Onto function means every element in the codomain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
Solution:
We need to find the one-one function
Injectivity: (one-one)
$\begin{aligned} &f_{1}(1)=3 \\ &f_{1}(2)=5 \\ &f_{1}(3)=7 \end{aligned}$
Every element of A has different images in B.
$\therefore$ Function $f_1$ is one-one.
Surjectivity: (onto)
Co-domain of $f_1= \left \{ 3,5,7 \right \}$
Range of $f_1$ set of image $\left \{ 3,5,7 \right \}$
Co-domain=Range
So, $f_1$ is onto.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 2 (ii)

$f_2$ is one-one and onto function.
Given:
$f_{2}=\{(2, a),(3, b),(4, c)\} ; A=\{2,3,4\} ; B=\{a, b, c\}$
Hint:
One-one function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain.
Onto function means every element in the codomain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
Solution:
We need to find the one-one function
Injectivity:
$\begin{aligned} &f_{2}(2)=a \\ &f_{2}(3)=b \\ &f_{2}(4)=c \end{aligned}$
Every element of A has different images in B.
$\therefore$ Function $f_2$ is one-one.
Surjectivity:
Co-domain of $f_2=\left \{ a,b,c \right \}$
Range of $f_2=$ set of image $\left \{ a,b,c \right \}$
Codomain = Range
So, $f_2$ is onto

Functions exercise 2.1 question 2 (iii)

$f_3$ is not one-one and onto function.
Given:
$f_{3}=\{(a, x),(b, x),(c, z),(d, z)\} ; A=\{a, b, c, d\} ; B=\{x, y, z\}$
Hint:
One-one function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain.
Onto function means every element in the codomain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
Solution:
We need to find the one-one function
Injectivity: (one-one)
$\begin{aligned} &f_{3}(a)=x, f_{3}(c)=z \\ &f_{3}(b)=x, f_{3}(d)=z \end{aligned}$
Here $f_3(a),f_3(b)$ have the same image x
Also $f_3(c),f_3(d)$ have the same image z
Therefore, $f_3$ is not one-one.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 3

$f:N \rightarrow N$ , given by $f(x)=x^2+x+1$ is one-one but not onto.
Hint:
Let x and y be any two elements in the domain (N), such that $f(x)=f(y)$
So,f is one-one.
Given:
$f:N \rightarrow N$ , defined by $f(x)=x^2+x+1$
Let us prove that the given function is one-one.
Solution:
We have $f(x)=x^2+x+1$ … (i)
Calculate $f(y)=y^2+x+1$ … (ii)
Now equate equation (i) and (ii)
$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=f(y) \\ &x^{2}+x+1=y^{2}+y+1 \\ &x^{2}+x-y^{2}-y=0 \end{aligned}$
$\begin{array}{r} x^{2}-y^{2}+x-y=0 \\ {\left[\because a^{2}-b^{2}=(a+b)(a-b)\right]} \\ (x+y)(x-y)+x-y=0 \\ (x-y)[(x+y+1)]=0 \end{array}$
From (iii) equation, we can write
$x-y=0, x+y+1\neq 0$
$x+y+1\neq 0$ , because if we substitute $x=1, y= 1$
$1+1+1=3$
Hence, $x+y+1\neq 0$ for any $x\in N$
Where as,
$x-y =0$
$x=y$
So,f is a one-one function.
But, $f(x)=x^3+x+1\geq 3$ for all $x\in N$
So, $f(x)$ doesn’t assume values of1 and 2
$\therefore f$ is not an onto function.
Hence, we proved that, $f(x)=x^2+x+1$ is one-one function not an onto function.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 4

$f:A \rightarrow A$ is neither one-one nor onto.
Given:
$A=\{-1,0,1\} \text { and } f=\{(x, x): x \in A\}$
Hint:
One-one function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain.
Onto function means every element in the co-domain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
Solution:
We need to prove that $f:A \rightarrow A$ is neither one-one nor onto.
First of all we check the function with one-one,
$\begin{aligned} &\begin{gathered} f(x)=x^{2} \\ \text { If } x=1, f(1)=1^{2}=1 \\ \text { If } x=-1, f(-1)=(-1)^{2}=1 \end{gathered}\\ &\text { Here } f(1) \text { and } f(-1) \text { have the same image } 1 \text { . } \end{aligned}$
So,f is not one-one.
Now, we go for onto function,
Co-domain of $f=\left \{ 0,1 \right \}$
$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=x^{2} \\ &f(1)=1^{2}=1 \\ &f(-1)=(-1)^{2}=1 \\ &f(0)=0 \end{aligned}$
Range of $f =\left \{ -1,0.1 \right \}$
Codomain of $f\neq$ Range of $f$ . (both are not same)
Hence, f is not onto

Functions exercise 2.1 question 5 (i)

One-one but not onto.
Given:
$f:N \rightarrow N$ given by $f(x)=x^2$ .
Hint:
One-one function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain.
Onto function means every element in the co-domain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
For any function to be a bijective, the given function be one-one and onto.
Solution:
Let's start with the injection test.
Let x and y be any two elements in the domain(N) such that $f(x)=f(y)$
$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=x^{2}, f(y)=y^{2} \\ &f(x)=f(y) \\ &x^{2}=y^{2} \\ &x=y \end{aligned}$
Where x and y are in N , so we don’t get 1 value.
So,f is an injection.
Surjection test:
Let y be any element in the codomain (N) , such that $f(x)=y$ for some element x in N .
$f(x)=y$
$x^2=y$
$x=\pm \sqrt{y}$ which may not be in N
Example:
If $y=2, x=\pm \sqrt{2}$ which is not in N .
So,f is not a surjection.
The condition of bijection is as we know the function should be one-one and onto.
Hence for this, f is not bijection

Functions exercise 2.1 question 5 (ii)

Neither one-one nor onto.
Given:
$f:Z \rightarrow Z$ given by $f(x)=x^2$

For any function to be a bijective, the given function be one-one and onto.
Solution:
Let's start with the injection test.

$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=x^{2}, f(y)=y^{2} \\ &f(x)=f(y) \\ &x^{2}=y^{2} \\ &x=\pm y \end{aligned}$
Therefore,f is not an injection
Surjection test:
Let y be any element in the codomain (Z) , such that $f(x)=y$ for some element x in Z .
$f(x)=y$
$x^2=y$
$x=\pm \sqrt{y}$ which may not be in N
Example:
If $y=2, x=\pm \sqrt{2}$ which is not in N .
So,f is not a surjection.
The condition of bijection is as we know the function should be one-one and onto.
Hence for this, f is not bijection.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 5 (iii)

For any function to be bijective, the given function be one-one and onto.
Solution:
Let us check for the given function is injection, surjection and bijection.
Let's start with the injection test.

$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=x^{3}, f(y)=y^{3} \\ &f(x)=f(y) \\ &x^{3}=y^{3} \\ &x=y \end{aligned}$
So,f is an injection
Surjection test:
Let y be any element in the codomain (N) , such that $f(x)=y$ for some element x in N .
$f(x)=y$
$x^3=y$
$x=\sqrt[3]{y}$ which may not be in N
So,f is not a surjection.
Here f is injective but not surjective, so the f is not a bijective.
The condition of bijection is as we know the function should be one-one and onto.
Hence for this, f is not bijection.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 5 (iv)

$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=x^{3}, f(y)=y^{3} \\ &f(x)=f(y) \\ &x^{3}=y^{3} \\ &x=y \end{aligned}$
So,f is an injection
Surjection test:

$f(x)=y$
$x^3=y$
$x=\sqrt[3]{y}$ which may not be in N

The condition of bijection is as we know the function should be one-one and onto.
Hence for this, f is not bijection.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 5 (v)

Neither an injection nor a surjection.
Given:
$f:R \rightarrow R$ , defined by $f(x)=\left | x \right |$ .
Hint:
Injective function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain.
Surjective
function means every element in the co-domain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
Bijection ⇒ Function should fulfill the injection, surjection condition.
Solution:

Injection:
Let x and y be any two elements in the domain (R) such that $f(x)=f(y)$
$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=|x|, f(y)=|y| \\ &x=\pm y \end{aligned}$
Therefore f is not an injection.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 5 (vi)

Neither injective nor surjective.
Given:
$f:Z \rightarrow Z$ defined by $f(x)=x^2+x$ .
Hint:
One-one function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain.
Onto function means every element in the co-domain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
Bijective ⇒ Function should fulfill the injective, surjective condition.
Solution:
Let us check if the given function is an injective, surjective, bijective.
Injection:
Let x,y be any two elements in domain $f(x)=f(y)$ .
$f(x)=x^2+x, f(y )=y^2+y$
Here we cannot say that x=y.
For example,
$x=2$ and $y=-3$
Then $x^2+x=2^2+2 =6$
$y^2+y=(-3)^2-3 =6$
Therefore, we have two number 2 and -3 in the domain z whose image is same as 6.
So f is not an injective.
Surjection:
Let y be any element in co-domain (R) such that $f(x)=(y)$ for some element x in (R)
$f(x)=(y)$
$x^2+x=y$
Here we can’t say $x\in Z$ .
$\begin{aligned} &y=-4\\ &x^{2}+x=-4\\ &x^{2}+x+4=0 \text { , on solving this }\\ &x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4 a c}}{2 a} \text { (formula) }\\ &a=1, b=1, c=4\\ &x=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^{2}-4 \cdot 1 \cdot 4}}{2 \cdot 1}\\ &x=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{-15}}{2 \cdot 1}\\ &x=\frac{-1 \pm i \sqrt{15}}{2 \cdot 1} \text { which is not in } Z \end{aligned}$
So, f is not surjective and f is not a bijective.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 5 (vii)

Bijective.
Given:
As $f:Z \rightarrow Z$ defined by $f(x)=x-5$
Hint:
One-one function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain.
Onto function means every element in the co-domain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
Bijection ⇒ Function should fulfill the injection, surjection condition.
Solution:
Injection test:
Let $x,y$ be any two elements in domain(Z) such that $f(x)=(y),f(x)=x-5,f(y)=y-5$
$f(x)=f(y)$
$x-5=y-5$
$x=y$
So, f is an injection.
Surjection test:
Let y be any element in the co-domain(Z) such that $f(x)=y$ for some element x in Z( domain)
$f(x)=y$
$x-5=y$
$x=y+5$ which is in Z.
So, Z is a surjection and f is a bijection.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 5 (viii)

Neither injective nor surjective.
Given:
$f:R \rightarrow R$ defined by $f(x)=\sin x$ .
Hint:
One-one function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain.
Onto function means every element in the co-domain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
Solution:
Injection test
Let x and y be any two elements in the domain (R) such that $f(x)=f(y)$
$\sin x=\sin y$
Here x may not be equal to y because $\sin 0 = \sin \pi =0$
So, f is not an injection.
Surjection test:
Range of $f=[-1,1]$
Co-domain of $f=R$
Both are not the same.
So f is not a surjection and f is not a bijection

Functions exercise 2.1 question 5 (ix)

Bijective
Given:
$f:R \rightarrow R$ defined by $f(x)=x^3+1$ .
Hint:
Bijection: function should be one-one and onto function.
Solution:
Injection test:
Let x and y be any two elements in the domain (R) such that $f(x)=f(y)$
$x^3+1=y^3+1$
$x^3=y^3$
$x=y$
So, f is an injection.
Surjection test:
Let y be any element in the codomain (N) , such that $f(x)=y$ for some element x in R .
$f(x)=y$
$x^3 +1=y$
$x^3 =y-1$
$x=\sqrt[3]{(y-1)}\in R$
So, f is a surjection.
So, f is a bijection.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 5 (x)

Surjective but not injective
Given:
$f:R \rightarrow R$ , defined by $f(x)=x^3-x$
Hint:
Injective function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain.
surjective function means every element in the co-domain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
Solution:
Injective test:
Let x and y be any two elements in the domain (R), such that
$f(x)=f(y)$
$x^3-x=y^3-y$
Here we cannot say $x=y$
For example $x=1, y=1$
$x^3-x=1-1=0$
$y^3-y=(-1)^3-(-1)= -1+1=0$
So, -1 and 1 have the same image 0.
Thus f is not an injection.
Surjection test:
Let x and y be any two elements in the domain (R) such that $f(x)=f(y)$ for some element (R) in R.
$f(x)=f(y)$
$x^3-x=y$
In order to identity surjection,
$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=x^{3}-x \\ &f^{\prime}(x)=3 x^{2}-1=0 \\ &x=\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \end{aligned}$
Therefore, f is a surjective.
Therefore, f is not a bijective.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 5 (xi)

Neither injective nor surjective.
Given:
$f:R \rightarrow R$ defined by $f(x)=\sin ^{2}x+\cos ^2x$ .
Hint:
Injective (one-one): function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain.
Surjective(Onto): function means every element in the co-domain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
Solution:
Injection condition:
$f(x)=\sin ^{2}x+\cos ^2x$
$\sin ^{2}x+\cos ^2x=1$ ( by formula)
So, $f(x)=1$ for every x in R.
For all elements in the domain the image is 1. So,f is not an injective.
Surjection:
Range of $f=\left \{ 1 \right \}$ , co-domain of f=R
Both are not the same.
So, f is not a surjection and f is not a bijection.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 5 (xii)

Injective but not surjective
Given:
$f: Q-\{3\} \rightarrow Q, \text { defined by } f(x)=\frac{2 x+3}{x-3}$
Hint:
Injective (one-one): function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain.
Surjective(Onto): function means every element in the co-domain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
Solution:
Injection:
let x,y be any two elements in the domain $\left ( Q-\{3\} \right )$ , such that $f(x)=f(y)$ .
$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=\frac{(2 x+3)}{(x-3)}, f(y)=\frac{(2 y+3)}{(y-3)} \\ &f(x)=f(y) \\ &\frac{(2 x+3)}{(x-3)}=\frac{(2 y+3)}{(y-3)} \\ &\begin{array}{l} (2 x+3)(y-3)=(2 y+3)(x-3) \\ 2 x y-6 x+3 y-9=2 x y-6 y+3 x-9 \\ 9 x=9 y \\ x=y \end{array} \end{aligned}$
So, f is an injection.
Subjection test:
Let y be any element in the co-domain Q, such that $f(x)=y$ for some element x in ( $\left ( Q-\{3\} \right )$ (domain).
$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=y\\ &\frac{(2 x+3)}{(x-3)}=y\\ &2 x+3=x y-3 y\\ &2 x-x y=-3 y-3\\ &x(2-y)=-3(y+1)\\ &x=-3(y+1) /(2-y), \text { which is not defined at } y=2 \end{aligned}$
So, f is not surjective.
Therefore, f is not bijective

Functions exercise 2.1 question 5 (xiii)

Injective
Given:
$f:Q\rightarrow Q$ defined by $f(x)=x^3+1$
Hint:
Injective (one-one): function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain.
Surjective(Onto): function means every element in the co-domain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
Solution:
Injection: Let x,y be any two element in the domain Q,
such that $f(x)=f(y)$ .
$\begin{aligned} &x^{3}+1=y^{3}+1 \\ &x^{3}=y^{3} \\ &x=y \end{aligned}$
Therefore, f is an injection.
Surjection: Let y be any two element in the co-domain Q, such that $f(x)=y$ for some element x in Q.
$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=y \\ &x^{3}+1=y \\ &x^{3}=y-1 \\ &x=\sqrt[3]{(y-1)} \end{aligned}$ which may not be Q.
So, f is not surjective.
Therefore, f is not bijective.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 5 (xvi)

Bijective
Given:
$f:R \rightarrow R$ , defined by $f(x)=5x^3+4$
Hint:
Bijective function should be one-one and onto function.
Solution:
Let x and y be any two elements in the domain(R), such that $f(x)=f(y)$ .
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow 5 x^{3}+4=5 y^{3}+4 \\ &\Rightarrow 5 x^{3}=5 y^{3} \\ &\Rightarrow x^{3}=y^{3} \\ &\Rightarrow x=y \end{aligned}$
So, f is an injection.
Subjection test:
Let y be any element in the co-domain(R), such that $f(x)=y$ .
$\begin{aligned} &5 x^{3}+4=y \\ &x^{3}=\frac{(y-4)}{5} \in R \end{aligned}$
So, f is a surjective.
Hence, f is a bijective.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 5 (xv)

Solution:
Let
$\begin{aligned} &x_{1}, x_{2} \in R \\ &f\left(x_{1}\right)=3-4 x_{1}, f\left(x_{2}\right)=3-4 x_{2} \\ &f\left(x_{1}\right)=f\left(x_{2}\right) \\ &3-4 x_{1}=3-4 x_{2} \\ &x_{1}=x_{2} \end{aligned}$
Hence f is an injective.
Subjection test:
Let
$\begin{aligned} &y=3-4 x\\ &x=\frac{3-y}{4}\\ &\therefore\\ &\forall y \in R, \exists \frac{3-y}{4} \in R\\ &f\left(\frac{3-y}{4}\right)=3-4\left(\frac{3-4}{4}\right)=y \end{aligned}$
$\therefore f$ is onto
Hence, f is bijection.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 5 (xvi)

Neither injective nor surjective.
Given:
$f:R \rightarrow R$ defined by $f(x)=1+x^2$
Hint:
Injective (one-one): function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain.
Surjective(Onto): function means every element in the co-domain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
Solution:
Injection condition:
Let x,y be any two elements in domain R such that
$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=f(y), f(x)=1+x^{2}, f(y)=1+y^{2} \\ &1+x^{2}=1+y^{2} \\ &x^{2}=y^{2} \\ &x=\pm y \end{aligned}$
Therefore, f is not an injection.
Surjection test:
Let y be any two elements in domain (R) such that $f(x)=y$ for some element x in R.
$\begin{aligned} &f(x)=y \\ &1+x^{2}=y \\ &x^{2}=y-1 \\ &x=\sqrt[2]{(y-1)} \\ &\text { For, } y=O \in R \\ &x=\pm \sqrt{-1}=\pm i \text { is not in } R \text { . } \end{aligned}$
So, f is not a surjection and f is not a bijection

Functions exercise 2.1 question 5 (xvii)

Neither injective nor surjective.
Given:
$f:R \rightarrow R$ defined by $f(x)=\frac{x}{1+x^2}$
Hint:
Injective (one-one): function means every element in the domain has a distinct image in the co-domain.
Surjective(Onto): function means every element in the co-domain has at least one pre image in the domain of function.
Solution:
Let x and y be any two elements in domain (R), such that f(x) = f(y).
$\frac{x}{1+x^2} = \frac{y}{1+y^2}$
xy²+ x = x²y + y
xy² − x²y + x − y = 0
−xy(−y + x) + 1(x − y) = 0
(x − y) (1 – xy) = 0
x = y or x = $\frac{1}{y}$
So, f is not an injection.
Surjection test:
Let y be any element in co-domain (R), such that f(x) = y for some element x in R (domain).
f(x) = y
$\frac{x}{1+x^2} = y$
yx² – x + y = 0
x((-1) ± √(1 - 4x²))/(2y) if y ≠ 0
= (1 ± √(1 - 4y²))/(2y), which may not be in R
For example, if y = 1, then (1 ± √(1-4))/(2y) = (1 ± i√3)/2, which is not in R Therefore, f is not surjection and f is not bijection.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 6

One
Given:
$F:A\rightarrow B$ is an injection such that the range of $f=\left \{ a \right \}$
Hint:
For an injection there will be exactly one image for each element.
Solution:
Here $f=\left \{ a \right \}$
⇒ Since F is an injection, there will be exactly one image for each element of f.
⇒ So, the number of images of f is one.
$\therefore$ Number of element in A is one.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 7

Given:

Hint:

For a bijection, we have to prove that this function is one-one and onto

Solution:

Let and

Consider the function

Here

For one-one function, we have

So,is a one-one function.

For onto function, we have

Again here

Substituting the value ofin

is onto function.

Hence is bijective.

Note:

If any function is bijective, then it is invertible.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 8 (i)

f is not bijective.
Given:
$f:A \rightarrow A$ , given by $f(x)=\frac{x}{2}$
To prove:
Here we have to show that the given function is one-one and onto.
Solution:
For one-one:
Let $x_1$ and $x_2$ be any two elements in the domain A, such that
$\begin{aligned} & f\left(x_{1}\right)=f\left(x_{2}\right) \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{x_{1}}{2}=\frac{x_{2}}{2} \\ \Rightarrow & x_{1}=x_{2} \end{aligned}$
So,f is one-one.
For onto:
Let y be any element in the codomain A, such that $f(x)=(y)$ for some element x in domain A
Then, $f(x)=(y)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{2}=y$ $\left [ f(x)=\frac{x}{2} \right ]$
$\Rightarrow x=2y$ , which may not be in A=[-1, 1]
So f is not onto.
Hence,f is not bijective.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 8 (ii)

f is not bijective
Given:
$g:A \rightarrow A$ , given by $g(x)=\left | x \right |$
To prove:
Function f is one-one, onto or bijective.
Hint:
For any function to be a bijective, the given function should be one-one and onto.
Solution:
First we will check whether the given function is one-one or not.
We know for one-one function
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \quad g\left(x_{1}\right)=g\left(x_{2}\right) \\ &\Rightarrow \quad\left|x_{1}\right|=\left|x_{2}\right| \\ &\Rightarrow \quad x_{1}=\pm x_{2} \end{aligned}$
So, g is not one-one.
$g(x)=\left | x \right |$
Let $g(x)=y$ such that $y \in A$
$y=|x|$
Hence, the value of y is defined only if y is positive,
But y is a real number
Hence, if y is negative, there is not corresponding element of x
i.e; $y=-x$ , there is no value of x inA
Hence, f is not onto.
So, g is not onto.
Hence g is not bijective.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 8 (iii)

f is not bijective.
Given:
$h:A\rightarrow A$ , given by $h(x)=(x)^2$
To prove:
Function h is one-one, onto or bijective.
Hint:
For any function to be bijective, the given function should be one-one and onto.
Solution:
First we will check whether the given function is one-one or not.
We know for function h to be one-one
$\begin{aligned} &\begin{aligned} & h\left(x_{1}\right)=h\left(x_{2}\right) \\ \Rightarrow & x_{1}^{2}=x_{2}^{2} \\ \Rightarrow & x_{1}=\pm x_{2} \end{aligned}\\ &\text { So, } h \text { is not one-one. } \end{aligned}$
$h(x)=x^2$
Let $h(x)=y$ such that $y \in A$
$y=x^2$
Hence, the value of y is defined only if y is positive,
But y is a real number
Hence, if y is negative, there is not corresponding element of x
i.e; for $y=-1$ , there is no value of x in A.
Hence, h is not onto.
Hence, h is not bijective.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 9 (i)

f is surjective.
Let $f=\left \{ \left ( x,y \right ) \right \}:x$ is a person, y is the mother of x
Hint:
As for each element x in the domain set, there is a unique element y in the co-domain set.
So, f is a function.
Solution:
First we check for injection or one-one.
We know: For one-one,for each element x in the domain set, there should be a unique element y in the co-domain set.
But here,y can be the mother of two or more persons.
So, f is not injective.
Again for surjective,
For every mother y defined by (x,y) , there exists a person x for whom y is mother.
So, f is surjective.
Hence, f is surjective function.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 9 (ii)

Let $g:\left \{ \left ( a,b \right ) \right \}:a$ is person and b is an ancestor of a
To prove:
The mapping is injective, surjective or not.
Hint:
As for each element x in the domain set, there is a unique related element y in the co-domain set.
So, f is a function.
Solution:
Since the ordered map (a,b) is not a map because "a" can have many ancestors. So the codomain set is not unique.
So, g is not a function.
Note:
If the function does not exist then we can’t show that the function is an injective or surjective.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 10

Given $A= \left \{ 1,2,3 \right \}$
Number of element in A =3
We know that,
Number of one-one function

number of ways of arranging 3 elements.
=3! = 6
Hence, the number of one-one function as following:
$\\(i) \{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3)\}\\ (ii) \{(1,1),(2,3),(3,2)\}\\ (iii) \{(1,2),(2,1),(3,3)\}\\ (iv) \{(1,2),(2,3),(3,1)\}\\ (v) \{(1,3),(2,2),(3,1)\}\\ (vi) \{(1,3),(2,1),(3,2)\}\\$

Functions exercise 2.1 question 11

f is bijection.
Given:
$f:R \rightarrow R$ is a function defined by $f(x)=4x^3+7$ .
To prove:
f is bijection.
Hint:
Any function to be bijection. The given function should be one-one and onto.
Solution:
First we will check whether the function is one-one or not.
Let x and y be any two element in the domain R such that
$\begin{aligned} & f(x)=f(y) \\ \Rightarrow & 4 x^{3}+7=4 y^{3}+7 \\ \Rightarrow & \quad 4 x^{3}=4 y^{3} \\ \Rightarrow & x^{3}=y^{3} \\ \Rightarrow & x=y \end{aligned}$
So, f is one-one.
Now, we will check if the given function is onto or not.
Let y be any element in the co-domain R such that $f(x)=y$ for some element x in R (domain).
$f(x)=y$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \quad 4 x^{3}+7=y \\ &\Rightarrow \quad 4 x^{3}=y-7 \\ &\Rightarrow \quad x=\sqrt[3]{y-7} \end{aligned}$
So, for every element in the co-domain there exists some pre-image in the domain.
So, f is onto.
Hence f is bijection.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 12

Given:
$f:R \rightarrow R$ , given by $f(x)=e^x$ .
To prove:
f is one-one but not onto.
Hint:
If different element in A have distinct images in B then the function is one-one and if every element in B has at least one pre-image in A then the function is onto.
Solution:
First we will check whether the function is one-one or not.
Here, let $x,y \in R$ such that
$f(x)=f(y)$
$\begin{array}{ll} \Rightarrow & e^{x}=e^{y} \\ \Rightarrow & e^{x-y}=1=e^{0} \\ \Rightarrow & x-y=0 \\ \Rightarrow & x=y \end{array}$
$\therefore f$ is one-one
Now, we check onto
$f(x)=e^x$
Let $f(x)=y$ such that $y \in R$
$y=e^x$
clearly the range of $e^{x} \text { is }(0, \infty)=R^{+}$ but the given range isR
co-domain≠ Range
$\therefore f$ is not onto.
Note:
When co-domain is replaced by $R_0^+$ , i.e. $(0, \infty)$ then f become onto function.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 13

Given:
$f:R_0^+\rightarrow R$ given by $f(x)\log _ax:a >0$ .
To prove:
$f(x)\log _ax:a$ is bijection.
Hint:
For any function to be bijective, the function should be one-one and onto.
Solution:
Let $x,y \in R_0^+$ such that
$f(x)=f(y)$
$\begin{array}{ll} \Rightarrow & \log _{a} x=\log _{a} y \\ \Rightarrow & \log _{a} \frac{x}{y}=0 \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{x}{y}=1 \\ \Rightarrow & x=y \end{array}$
$\therefore f$ is one-one.
Now, let $y\in R$ be arbitrary then
$f(x)=y$
$\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \quad \log _{a} x=y \\ &\Rightarrow \quad x=a^{y} \in R_{0}^{+} \\ &{\left[\because a>0 \Rightarrow a^{y}>0\right]} \end{aligned}$
Thus for all $y\in R$ , there exist $x=a^y$ such that $f(x)=y$ .
$\therefore f$ is onto
$\therefore f$ is one-one and onto.
Hence f is bijective.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 14

Given:
$A=\left \{ 1,2,3 \right \}$
To prove:
One-one function must be onto.
Solution:
Here $f:A\rightarrow A$ and $A=\left \{ 1,2,3 \right \}$
We know that, since f is one-one, so the three elements of $\left \{ 1,2,3 \right \}$ must be taken to different element of the co-domain $\left \{ 1,2,3 \right \}$ under f.
Hence f must be onto.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 15

Given:
$f:A\rightarrow A$ , given by $A=\left \{ 1,2,3 \right \}$ .
To prove:
Onto function must be one-one.
Solution:
Let f is not one-one then there exists two elements say 1 and 2 in the domain having same image in the co-domain.
Also, the image of 3 under f can be only one element.
$\therefore$ The range set will have at most two element of the co-domain, but we know that in the range set we have three elements $\left \{ 1,2,3 \right \}$ .
i.e. There arises a contradiction that f is not onto function.
Hence f must be one-one.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 16

Given:
Here given that $\left \{ 1,2,3....n \right \}$ is the set.
Here we have find all onto function from the given set.
Hint:
Since if f is onto then all element have a unique pre image.
Solution:
Taking the set $\left \{ 1,2,3 \right \}$
$\therefore$ Total number of one-one function $3\times 2\times 1=6$
As example since f is onto, all elements of $\left \{ 1,2,3 \right \}$ have unique pre-image

Element	Number of possible pairs
1	3
2	2
3	1

So as the diagram, we get

Elements	Number of possible pairs
1	n
2	n-1
3	n-2
.	.
.	.
n-1	.
n	2
	1

So as the diagram, we get $n \times(n-1) \times(n-2) \times \ldots \times 2 \times 1=n !$

Functions exercise 2.1 question 17

Let $f_1:R\rightarrow R$ and $f_2:R\rightarrow R$ be two function given by
$f_1(x)=x$
$f_2(x)=x$
We can easily verify that $f_1$ and $f_2$ are one-one functions.
Now,
$\left(f_{1}+f_{2}\right) x=f_{1}(x)+f_{2}(x)=x-x=0$
$\therefore f_1+f_2:R\rightarrow R$ is a function given by $(f_1+f_2)x=0$
Since $f_1+f_2$ is a constant function.
Hence it is not one-one.:

Functions exercise 2.1 question 18

Answer:

Let $f_1:Z\rightarrow Z$ defined by $f_1(x)=x$ and $f_2:Z\rightarrow Z$ defined by $f_2(x)=-x$
Then $f_1$ and $f_2$ are surjective functions.
Now,
$f_1+f_2:Z\rightarrow Z$ is given by
$\begin{aligned} \left(f_{1}+f_{2}\right)(x) &=f_{1}(x)+f_{2}(x) \\ &=x-x \\ &=0 \end{aligned}$

Since $f_1+f_2$ is a constant function.
Hence it is not surjective.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 19

Given:
$f_1$ and $f_2$ are one-one mapping.
To prove:
The product $f_1 \times f_2$ is not one-one.
Solution:
Let $f_1:R\rightarrow R$ be defined by $f_1(x)=x$
and $f_2:R\rightarrow R$ be defined by $f_2(x)=x$
Clearly $f_1$ and $f_2$ are one-one functions.
Now, $F= f_1\times f_2:R\rightarrow R$ is defined by
$F(x)=\left(f_{1} \times f_{2}\right)(x)=f_{1}(x) \times f_{2}(x)=x^{2}$ …(i)
Clearly $F(-1)=1=F(1)$
since the two elements have the same image.
$\therefore F$ is not one-one.
Hence $f_1 \times f_2$ is not one-one.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 20

Let $f_1:R\rightarrow R$ and $f_2:R\rightarrow R$ are two function defined by $f_1(x)=x^2$ and $f_2(x)=x$ .
Clearly $f_1$ and $f_2$ are one-one functions.
Now, $\frac{f_1}{f_2}:R\rightarrow R$ given by
$\left(\frac{f_{1}}{f_{2}}\right) x=\frac{f_{1}(x)}{f_{2}(x)}=x^{2} \vee x \in R$
Let $\frac{f_1}{f_2}=f$
$\therefore f= R\rightarrow R$ defined by $f(x)=x^2$
Now, $f(-1)=1=f(1)$
since, the two elements have the same image.
$\therefore f$ is not one-one.
Hence, $\frac{f_1}{f_2}:R\rightarrow R$ is not one-one.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 21 (i)
Answer:

$f=(2,5),(3,7),(4,6)$
Given:
Here given that
$A= \left \{ 2,3,4 \right \}$ and $A= \left \{ 2,5,6,7 \right \}$
Here we have to construct an example of injective.
Hint:
For injective, we have to construct the example of one-one function.
Solution:
Here $A= \left \{ 2,3,4 \right \}$ and $A= \left \{ 2,5,6,7 \right \}$
Hence for injective (i.e) one-one.
$f=(2,5),(3,7),(4,6)$
Hence the result.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 21 (ii)

Answer:

$f=(2,2),(5,3),(6,4),(7,4)$
Given:
Here given that
$A= \left \{ 2,3,4 \right \}$ and $A= \left \{ 2,5,6,7 \right \}$
Here we have to construct an example as the mapping from A to B which is not injective.
Hint:
In this question we construct an example of many one function.
Solution:
Here $A= \left \{ 2,3,4 \right \}$ and $A= \left \{ 2,5,6,7 \right \}$
Hence we have
$g=(2,2),(3,5),(4,2)$
It is many-one.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 21 (iii)
Answer:

Given: Here given that
$A= \left \{ 2,3,4 \right \}$ and $A= \left \{ 2,5,6,7 \right \}$
Here we have to find a mapping from A to B.
Solution:
Here $A= \left \{ 2,3,4 \right \}$ and $A= \left \{ 2,5,6,7 \right \}$
$h=(2,2),(5,3),(6,4),(7,4)$
This is the required mapping.

Functions exercise 2.1 question 22

Answer:

Let $f:R\rightarrow R$ given by $f_1(x)=x-[x]$
To prove:
The given function is neither one-one nor onto.
Solution:
First we will check whether the given function is one-one or not.
For one-one; we have,
$\therefore f(x)=x-[x]$
$\Rightarrow f(x)=0$ for all $x\in R$
$\therefore f$ is not one-one where as many-one.
Again, Range $(f)=[0,1) \neq R$
$\therefore f$ is not onto.
Hence f is neither one-one nor onto

Functions exercise 2.1 question 23
Answer:

Given:
$f(n)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} n+1, & \text { if } n \text { is odd } \\ n-1, & \text { if } n \text { is even } \end{array}\right.$
To prove:
Function f is bijection.
Hint:
For any function to be a bijection, the given function should be one-one and onto.
Solution:
Here $f:N \rightarrow N$
First we will check whether the given function is one-one or not.
For one-one,
Case I : If n is odd
Let $x,y\in N$ such that $f(x)=f(y)$
As $f(x)=f(y)$
$\begin{array}{ll} \Rightarrow & x+1=y+1 \\ \Rightarrow & x=y \end{array}$
Case II : If n is even
Let $x,y\in N$ such that $f(x)=f(y)$
As $f(x)=f(y)$
$\begin{array}{ll} \Rightarrow & x-1=y-1 \\ \Rightarrow & x=y \end{array}$
So, f is injective (one-one).
Again we will check whether the given function is onto or not.
For onto,
Case I : If n is odd
As for every $f:N \rightarrow N$ , $n \in N$ , there exists $y=n-1$
$f(y )=f(n-1)$
$=n-1+1$
$=n$
Case II : If n is even
As for every $n \in N$ , there exists $y=n+1$
$\Rightarrow f(y)=f(n+1)=n+1-1=n$
So f is surjective (onto).
Hence f is a bijection.
