f : R R given by f(x) = x2
5. Give examples of two functions f : N Z and g : Z Z such that gof is injective but g is
not injective. (Hint: Consider f(x) = x and g(x) = |x|)
6. Prove that the function f given by f(x) = x2 - x + 1 is neither strictly increasing nor strictly
decreasing on (-1, 1).
7. Using the definition, prove that the function is invertible if and only if f is
both one-one and onto.
8. Let * be a binary operation on the set Q of rational numbers as follows:
1. a*b = a - b
2. a*b = a2 + b2
3. a*b = a + ab
4. a*b = (a - b)2
Find which of the binary operations are commutative and which are associative.
9. Consider the binary operation * : R R R and o : R R R defined as a * b = |a - b|
and aob = a, a, b R. Show that * is commutative but not associative, o is associative but
not commutative. Further, show that , a, b, c, R, a*(boc) = (a*b)o(a*b). [If it is so, we
say that the operation * distributes over the operation o]. Does o distribute over *? Justify
your answer.
10. Let R be relation defined on the set of natural number N as follows:
R = {(x, y): x N, y N, 2x + y = 41}. Find the domain and range of the relation R. Also
verify whether R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
1. f is a function since each element of A in the first place in the ordered pairs is related to
only one element of A in the second place while g is not a function because 1 is related to
more than one element of A, namely, 2 and 3.
2. 3 * 4 = 2 (3) + 4 - 3 = 7
3. Since, f is one - one three elements of {1, 2, 3} must be taken to 3 different elements of the
co - domain {1, 2, 3} under f. Hence, f has to be onto.
4. f : R R given by f(x) = x2
As f(-1) = f(1) = 1
-1 and 1 have same image. f is not injective.
e.g. -2 co-domain, but R=domain of f. f is not surjective.
5. Given: two functions f : N Z and g : Z Z
Let f(x) = x and g(x) = |x|
gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g(x) = |x|.since domain of gof is N and therefore gof is injective.
But g is not injective as g(-1) = |-1| = 1 ,g(1) = |1| = 1 i.e
two different elements have same image.
6. Given: f(x) = x2 - x + 1
f'\(x) = 2x - 1
f(x) is strictly increasing if f'(x) < 0
2x - 1 > 0
y=f(x)
Thus,for each y in B,there exists x in A such that f(x)=y.So,f is onto.
Conversely,if f is one-one, and onto ,then f is invertible.
8. i. a*b = a - b = -(b - a) = -b*a operation * is not commutative.
(a*b)*c = (a - b)*c = (a - b) - c = a - b - c
And a*(b*c) = a*(b - c) = a - (b - c) = a - b + c
Here, (a * b)*c a*(b*c) operation * is not associative.
R is not symmetric
as (1, 39) R but (39, 1) R
R is not transitive
as (11, 19) R, (19, 3) R
But (11, 3) R
Hence, R is neither reflexive, nor symmetric and nor transitive.
