Question 12 Marks
Let f = {(1, 1), (2, 3), (0, - 1), - 1, - 3)} be a function from Z to Z defined by f (x) = ax + b for some integers a, b. Determine a,b.
Answer
Here f(x) = ax + b
f = {(1, 1), (2, 3), (0, -1), (-1, -3)}
$ \Rightarrow $ f (1) = 1, f (2) = 3, f(0) = -1, f(-1) = -3
Now f(1) = 1 $ \Rightarrow a \times 1 + b = 1 \Rightarrow $ a+ b = 1 . . . (i)
$f(2) = 3 \Rightarrow a \times 2 + b = 3 \Rightarrow 2a + b = 3$ . . . (ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii) we get
2a+b-(a+b)=3-1 $ \Rightarrow $ a = 2
Putting a = 2 in (i)
2 + b = 1 $ \Rightarrow $ b = -1

Question 22 Marks
Let $f= \left\{ \left(x , \frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 1 + x ^ { 2 } } \right) : x \in R \right\}$ be a function from R into R. Determine the range of f.
Answer
Here $f ( x ) = \frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 1 + x ^ { 2 } }$
Put $y = \frac { x ^ { 2 } } { 1 + x ^ { 2 } }$ $\Rightarrow$ $y+y x^2=x^2 \Rightarrow x^2(1-y)=y$
$\Rightarrow x ^ { 2 } = \frac { y } { 1 - y } \Rightarrow x = \pm \sqrt { \frac { y } { 1 - y } }$
$\frac { y } { 1 - y } \geq 0$
$\Rightarrow \frac { y } { y - 1 } \leq 0$
$\Rightarrow 0 \leq \mathrm { y } < 1$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm { y } \in [ 0,1 )$
$\therefore$Range of f(x) = [0, 1)

Question 32 Marks
Find the domain and the range of the real function f defined by f(x) = |x - 1|.
Answer
Here f (x) = |x - 1|
The function f (x) is defined for all values of x
$\therefore$Domain of f(x) = R
when x > 1
|x - 1| = x - 1 > 0
When x = 1
|x - 1| = 0
When x < 1
|x - 1| = - x + 1 > 0
Range of f(x) = all real numbers $ \geqslant 0$
$ = \left[ {0,\infty } \right)$

Question 42 Marks
Find the domain and range of the real function f defined by $f(x) = \sqrt {x - 1} $
Answer
Here f (x) = $\sqrt {x - 1} $, f (x) assumes real values if $x - 1 \geqslant 0 \Rightarrow x \geqslant 1$
$ \Rightarrow x \in \left[ {1,\infty } \right)$
$\therefore$ Domain of f(x) $ = \left[ {1,\infty } \right)$
For $x \geqslant 1,f(x) \geqslant 0$
Range of f (x) = all real numbers $ \geqslant 0$
$ = \left[ {0,\infty } \right)$

Question 52 Marks
Find the domain of the function $f(x) = \frac{{{x^2} + 2x + 1}}{{{x^2} - 8x + 12}}$.
Answer
Here $f(x) = \frac{{{x^2} + 2x + 1}}{{{x^2} - 8x + 12}}$
f (x) is a rational function of x.
f (x) assumes real values of all x except for those values of x for which
$x^2-8 x+12=0$
$\Rightarrow(x-6)(x-2)=0$
$\Rightarrow x=2,6$
$\therefore$ Domain of function $=R-\{2,6\}$.

Question 62 Marks
If $f(x)=x^2$, find $\frac{{f(1.1) - f(1)}}{{(1.1 - 1)}}$
Answer
Here $f(x)=x^2$
At $x=1.1$
$\mathrm{f}(1.1)=(1.1)^2=1.21$
$\mathrm{f}(1)=(1)^2=1$
$\therefore \frac{f(1.1)-f(1)}{(1.1-1)}=\frac{1.21-1}{0.1}=\frac{0.21}{0.1}=2.1$

Question 72 Marks
If the function t which maps temperature in degree Celcius into temperature in degree Fahrenheit is defined by t(C) = $\frac{9C}{5}$+ 32, then find the value of C, when t(C) = 212.
Answer
Here it is given that, $t(C) =$ $\frac{9 C}{5}$$+ 32$
Put $t(C) = 212$, we get
$212 =$ $\frac{9 C}{5}$ + 32
$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{9 C}{5}$$= 212 - 32$
$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{9 C}{5}$ = 180
$\therefore$ C = $\frac{5 \times 180}{9}$
$C = 5$ $\times$ 20 = 100

Question 82 Marks
If the function t which maps temperature in degree Celcius into temperature in degree Fahrenheit is defined by t(C) = $\frac{9C}{5}$+ 32, then find t(-10).
Answer
Here it is given that, $t(C) =$ $\frac{9 C}{5}$$+ 32$
Put C = -10, we get
$t(-10) =$ $\frac{9 \times(-10)}{5}$$+ 32$
= $\frac{-9 \times 10}{5}$ $+ 32 = - 9$ $\times$ $2 + 32$
= -18 + 32 = 14

Question 92 Marks
If the function t which maps temperature in degree Celcius into temperature in degree Fahrenheit is defined by t(C) = $\frac{9C}{5}$+ 32, then find t(28).
Answer
We have, $t(C) =$ $\frac{9 C}{5}$$+ 32$
On putting C = 28, we get
$t(28) = $$\frac{9 \times 28}{5}$ $+ 32 =$ $\frac{252}{5}$ + $\frac{32}{1}$
= $\frac{252+160}{5}$ = $\frac{412}{5}$ = 82.4

Question 152 Marks
Find the domain of the function f(x) = $\begin{equation} \frac{x^{2}+3 x+5}{x^{2}-5 x+4} \end{equation}$
Answer
Since $x^2-5 x+4=(x-4)(x-1)$, therefore the function $f$ is defined for all real numbers except at $x=4$ and $x=1$.
Therefore, the domain of $f$ is $R -\{1,4\}$

Question 162 Marks
Let f = {(1, 1), (2, 3), (0, –1), (–1, –3)} be a linear function from Z into Z. Find f(x).
Answer
Since f is a linear function, f(x) = mx + c.Since (1, 1), (0, – 1) $\in$ R, f (1) = m + c = 1 and f (0) = c = –1.
This gives m = 2 and hence f(x) = 2x – 1

Question 182 Marks
Let N be the set of natural numbers and the relation R be defined on N such that R = {(x, y) : y = 2x, x, y $\in$ N}. What is the domain, codomain and range of R? Is this relation a function?
Answer
Since the relation R is defined on N.Therefore,
The domain of R is the set of natural numbers N. The co-domain is also N. The range is the set of even natural numbers.
Since every natural number n has one and only one image, this relation is a function.
