Question 1. Let f : R → R be defined as f(x) = 10x + 7. Find the function g : R → R such that g o f = f o g = 1R.

Solution:

As, it is mentioned here

f : R → R be defined as f(x) = 10x + 7

To, prove the function one-one

Let’s take f(x) = f(y)

10x + 7 = 10y + 7

x = y

Hence f is one-one.

To, prove the function onto

y ∈ R, y = 10x+7

x=y−710∈Rx=10y−7​∈R

So, it means for y ∈ R, there exists x=y−710x=10y−7​

f(x)=f(y−710)=10(y−710)+7=y–7+7=yf(x)=f(10y−7​)=10(10y−7​)+7=y–7+7=y

Hence f is onto.

As, f is one-one and onto. This f is invertible function.

Let’s say g : R → R be defined as g(y)=y−710g(y)=10y−7​

gof=g(f(x))=g(10x+7)=(10x+7)−710=10×10=xgof=g(f(x))=g(10x+7)=10(10x+7)−7​=1010x​=x

fog=f(g(x))=f(x−710)=10(x−710)+7=x–7+7=xfog=f(g(x))=f(10x−7​)=10(10x−7​)+7=x–7+7=x

Hence, g : R → R such that g o f = f o g = 1R.

g : R → R is defined as g(y)=y−710g(y)=10y−7​

Question 2. Let f : W → W be defined as f(n) = n – 1, if n is odd and f(n) = n + 1, if n is even. Show that f is invertible. Find the inverse of f. Here, W is the set of all whole numbers.

Solution:

The function f is defined as

f(n)={n−1,nisoddn+1,nisevenf(n)={n−1,nisoddn+1,niseven

As, we know f is invertible, if and only if f is one-one and onto.

ONE-ONE

For the pair of number, we will deal with three cases:

Case 1: When both numbers p and q are odd numbers.

f(p) = p-1

f(q) = q-1

f(p) = f(q)

p-1 = q-1

p – q = 0

Case 2: When both numbers p and q are even numbers.

f(p) = p+1

f(q) = q+1

f(p) = f(q)

p+1 = q+1

p – q = 0

Case 3: When p is odd and q is even

f(p) = p-1

f(q) = q+1

f(p) = f(q)

p-1 = q+1

p – q = 2

Subtracting an odd number and even always gives a odd number, not even. Hence, the case 3 result is impossible.

So, the function f is one-one, for case 1 and case 2 only.

ONTO

Case 1: When p is odd number

f(p) = p-1

y = p-1

p = y+1

Hence, when p is odd y is even.

Case 2: When p is even number

f(p) = p+1

y = p+1

p = y-1

Hence, when p is even y is odd.

So, it means for y ∈ W, there exists p = y+1 and y-1 for odd and even value of p respectively.

Hence f is onto.

As, f is one-one and onto. This f is an invertible function.

Let’s say g : W → W be defined as g(y)={y−1,yisoddy+1,yiseveng(y)={y−1,yisoddy+1,yiseven

f = g

Hence, The inverse of f is f itself

Question 3. If f : R → R is defined by f(x) = x2– 3x + 2, find f (f(x)).

Solution:

f(x) = x2– 3x + 2

f(f(x)) = f(x2– 3x + 2)

= (x2– 3x + 2)2 – 3(x2– 3x + 2) + 2

= x4 + 9x2 + 4 -6x3 – 12x + 4x2 – 3x2 + 9x – 6 + 2

f(f(x)) = x4 – 6x3 + 10x2 – 3x

Question 4. Show that the function f : R → {x ∈ R : – 1 < x < 1} defined by f(x) = x1+∣x∣   1+∣xx​ , x ∈ R is one one and onto function.

Solution:

As, it is mentioned here

f : R → {x ∈ R : – 1 < x < 1} defined by f(x)=x1+∣x∣  f(x)=1+∣xx​ , x ∈ R

As, we know f is invertible, if and only if f is one-one and onto.

ONE-ONE

For the pair of number, we will deal with three cases:

Case 1: When both numbers p and p are positive numbers.

The function f is defined as

Case 1: When both numbers p and q are positive numbers.

f(p)=p1+∣p∣f(p)=1+∣pp

f(q)=q1+∣q∣f(q)=1+∣qq

f(p) = f(q)

p1+∣p∣=q1+∣q∣1+∣pp​=1+∣qq

p1+p=q1+q1+pp​=1+qq

p(1+q) = q(1+p)

p = q

Case 2: When number p and q are negative numbers.

f(p)=p1+∣p∣f(p)=1+∣pp

f(q)=q1+∣q∣f(q)=1+∣qq

f(p) = f(q)

p1+∣p∣=q1+∣q∣1+∣pp​=1+∣qq

p1−p=q1−q1−pp​=1−qq

p(1-q) = q(1-p)

p = q

Case 3: When p is positive and q is negative

f(p)=p1+∣p∣f(p)=1+∣pp

f(q)=q1+∣q∣f(q)=1+∣qq

f(p) = f(q)

p1+∣p∣=q1+∣q∣1+∣pp​=1+∣qq

p1+p=q1−q1+pp​=1−qq

p(1-q) = q(1+p)

p + q = 2pq

Here, RHS will be negative and LHS will be positive. Hence, the case 3 result is impossible.

So, the function f is one-one, for case 1 and case 2.

ONTO

Case 1: When p>0.

f(p)=p1+∣p∣f(p)=1+∣pp

y=p1+py=1+pp

p=y1−y(y≠1)p=1−yy​(y=1)

Case 2: When p <0

f(p)=p1+∣p∣f(p)=1+∣pp

y=p1−py=1−pp

p=y1+y(y≠−1)p=1+yy​(y=−1)

Hence, p is defined for all the values of y, p∈ R

Hence f is onto.

As, f is one-one and onto. This f is an invertible function.

Question 5. Show that the function f : R → R given by f(x) = x3 is injective.

Solution:

As, it is mentioned here

f : R → R defined by f(x) = x3, x ∈ R

To prove f is injective (or one-one).

ONE-ONE

The function f is defined as

f(x) = x3

f(y) = y3

f(x) = f(y)

x3 = y3

x = y

The function f is one-one, so f is injective.

Question 6. Give examples of two functions f : N → Z and g : Z → Z such that g o f is injective but g is not injective.

(Hint : Consider f(x) = x and g (x) = | x |).

Solution:

Two functions, f : N → Z and g : Z → Z

Taking f(x) = x and g(x) = |x|

Let’s check, whether g is injective or not

g(5) = |5| = 5

g(-5) = |-5| = 5

As, we can see here that

Taking two integers, 5  and -5

g(5) = g(-5)

but, 5 ≠ -5

So, g is not an injective function.

Now, g o f: N → Z is defined as

g o f = g(f(x)) = g(x) = |x|

Now, as x,y∈ N

g(x) = |x|

g(y) = |y|

g(x) = g(y)

|x| = |y|

x = y (both x and y are positive)

Hence, g o f is an injective.

Question 7. Give examples of two functions f : N → N and g : N → N such that g o f is onto but f is not onto.

(Hint : Consider f(x) = x + 1 and g(x)={x−1,x>11,x=1g(x)={x−1,x>11,x=1​

Solution:

Two functions, f : N → N and g : N → N

Taking f(x) = x+1 and g(x)={x−1,x>11,x=1g(x)={x−1,x>11,x=1​

 As, f(x) = x+1

y = x+1

x = y-1

But, when y=1, x = 0. Which doesn’t satiny this relation f : N → N.

Hence. f is not an onto function.

Now, g o f: N → N is defined as

g o f = g(f(x)) = g(x+1)

When x+1=1, we have

g(x+1) = 1 (1∈ N)

And, when x+1>1, we have

g(x+1) = (x+1)-1 = x

y = x, which also satisfies x,y∈ N

Hence, g o f is onto.

Question 8. Given a non empty set X, consider P(X) which is the set of all subsets of X.

Define the relation R in P(X) as follows: For subsets A, B in P(X), ARB if and only if A ⊂ B. Is R an equivalence relation on P(X)? Justify your answer.

Solution:

Given, A and B are the subsets of P(x), A⊂ B

To check the equivalence relation on P(X), we have to check

  • Reflexive

As, we know that every set is the subset of itself.

Hence, A⊂ A and B⊂ B

ARA and BRB is reflexive for all A,B∈ P(X)

  • Symmetric

As, it is given that A⊂ B. But it doesn’t make sure that B⊂ A.

To be symmetric it has to be A = B

ARB is not symmetric.

  • Transitive

When A⊂ B and B⊂ C

Then of course, A⊂ C

Hence, R is transitive.

So, as R is not symmetric. 

R is not an equivalence relation on P(X).

Question 9. Given a non-empty set X, consider the binary operation ∗ : P(X) × P(X) → P(X) given by A ∗ B = A ∩ B ∀ A, B in P(X), where P(X) is the power set of X. Show that X is the identity element for this operation and X is the only invertible element in P(X) with respect to the operation ∗.

Solution:

Given, P(X) × P(X) → P(X) is defined as A*B = A∩B ∀ A, B ∈ P(X)

This implies, A⊂  X and B ⊂  X

So, A∩X = A and B∩X = B ∀ A, B ∈ P(X)

⇒ A*X = A and B*X = B

Hence, X is the identity element for intersection of binary operator.

Question 10. Find the number of all onto functions from the set {1, 2, 3, … , n} to itself.

Solution:

Onto function from the set {1,2,3,…..,n} to itself is just same as the permutations of n.

1×2×3×4×…….×n

Which is n!.

Symmetric & Skew Symmetric Matrix-Properties, Solved Examples, Class 12 Matrices Chapter Notes Study Material Download pdf

A symmetric matrix and skew-symmetric matrix both are square matrices. But the difference between them is, the symmetric matrix is equal to its transpose whereas skew-symmetric matrix is a matrix whose transpose is equal to its negative. If A is a symmetric matrix, then A = A T   and if A is a skew-symmetric matrix then A T  = – A.

Onto Functions(Surjective Functions)-Definition, Graph, Properties, Solved Examples, FAQs

  Onto Function is one of the many types of functions defined based on the relationship between its domain and codomain. For any function to be onto, it needs to relate two sets with a very specific mapping between elements, meaning that each element of the codomain has at least one element in the domain as its pre-image. In simple words, for any function, if all the elements of the codomain are mapped to some element of the domain, then the function is said to be an onto function.  In this article, we will discuss the concept of onto or surjective function in detail including its definition, example, and many more. We will also discuss key differences between one one, onto and into functions as well. Table of Contents What is an Onto Function?
