Relations and Functions (Ex – 2.3)
Question 1.
Which of the following relations are functions? Give reasons. If it is a function, determine its domain and range.
(i) {(2, 1), (5, 1), (8, 1), (11, 1), (14, 1), (17, 1)}
(ii) {{2, 1), (4, 2), (6, 3), (8, 4), (10, 5), (12, 6), (14, 7)}
(iii) {(1, 3), (1, 5), (2, 5)}.
Solution.
(i) We have a relation R = {(2, 1), (5, 1), (8, 1), (11, 1), (14, 1), (17, 1)} Since 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17 are the elements of domain of R having their unique images.
∴ The given relation is a function.
Hence domain = {2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17) and Range = {1}.
(ii) We have a relation
R = {(2,1), (4, 2), (6, 3), (8, 4), (10, 5), (12, 6), (14, 7)}
Since 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 are the elements of domain of R having their unique images.
∴ The given relation is a function.
Hence domain = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14} and Range = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}.
(iii) We have a relation R = {(1, 3), (1, 5), (2, 5)}
Since the distinct ordered pairs (1, 3) and (1, 5) have same first element i.e., 1 does not have a unique image under R.
∴ It is not a function.
Question 2.
Find the domain and range of the following real functions:
(i) f(x) = −|x|
(ii) f(x) = √(9−x2)
Solution.
Question 3.
A function f is defined by f (x) = 2x – 5. Write down the values of
(i) f (0)
(ii) f (7)
(iii) f (-3)
Solution.
We are given f (x) = 2x – 5
(i) f (0) = 2(0) – 5 = 0- 5 = -5
(ii) f (7) = 2(7) – 5 = 14- 5 = 9
(iii) f (-3) = 2(-3) – 5 = -6 – 5 = -11.
Question 4.
The function T which maps temperature in degree Celsius into temperature in degree by
t(C)=9C/5+32
Find
(i) t (0)
(ii) t (28)
(iii) t (-10)
(iv) The value of C, when t (C = 212)
Solution.
Question 5.
Find the range of each of the following functions.
(i) f(x) = 2 – 3x, x ∈ R, x>0.
(ii) f(x)=x2+ 2, x is a real number.
(iii) f (x) = x, x is a real number.
Solution.
(i) Given f (x) = 2 – 3x, x ∈ R, x > 0
∵ x > 0 ⇒ -3x < 0 ⇒ 2 – 3x < 2 + 0 ⇒ f (x) < 2
∴ The range of f (x) is (-2).
(ii) Given f (x) = x2 + 2, x is a real number
We know x2≥ 0 ⇒ x2 + 2 ≥ 0 + 2
⇒ x2 + 2 > 2 ∴ f (x) ≥ 2
∴ The range of f (x) is [2, ∞).
(iii) Given f (x) = x, x is a real number.
Let y =f (x) = x ⇒ y = x
∴ Range of f (x) = Domain of f (x)
∴ Range of f (x) is R.
