Question 513 Marks
Classify the following functions as injection, surjection or bijection:

f : R → R, defined by f(x) = 1 + x2

Answer
f : R → R, defined by f(x) = 1 + x2

Injection test: Let $\text{x, y}\in\text{R,}$ such that,

f(x) = f(y)

⇒ 1 + x2 = 1 + y2

⇒ x2 - y2 = 0

⇒ (x - y)(x + y) = 0

either x = y or x = -y or $\text{x}\neq\text{y}$

Therefore, f is not one-one.

Surjection: Let $\text{y}\in\text{R}$ be arbitrary, then

f(x) = y

⇒ 1 + x2 = y

⇒ x2 + 1 - y = 0

$\therefore\ \text{x}\pm\sqrt{\text{y}-1}\notin\text{R}$ or y < 1

$\therefore$ f is not onto.

Question 523 Marks
Find fog and gof if:

f(x) = x + 1, g(x) = 2x + 3

Answer
f(x) = x + 1, g(x) = 2x + 3

f : R → R; g : R → R

Computing fog: Clearly, the range of g is a subset of the domain of f.

⇒ fog : R → R

(fog)(x) = f(g(x))

= f(2x + 3)

= 2x + 3 + 1

= 2x + 4

Computing gof: Clearly, the range of f is a subset of the domain of g.

⇒ fog : R → R

(gof)(x) = g(f(x))

= g(x + 1)

= 2(x + 1) + 3

= 2x + 5

Question 533 Marks
Find fog and gof if:

f(x) = ex, g(x) = logex

Answer
f(x) = ex, g(x) = logex

$\text{f}:\text{R}\rightarrow0,\infty;\ \text{g}:0,\infty\rightarrow\text{R}$

Computing fog: Clearly, the range of g is a subset of the domain of f.

$\text{fog}(0,\infty)\rightarrow\text{R}$

fog(x) = f(g(x))

= f(logex) = logeex

= x

Computing gof: Clearly, the range of f is a subset of the domain of g.

⇒ fog : R → R

(gof)(x) = g(f(x))

= gex

= logeex

= x

Question 543 Marks
If $\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{\text{x}+3}$ and g(x) = x2 + 1 be two real functions, then find fog and gof.
Answer
$\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{\text{x}+3}$

For domain,

$\text{x}+3\geq0$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}\geq-3$

Domain of $\text{f}=[-3,\infty)$

Since f is a square root fuction, range of $\text{f}=[0,\infty)$

$\text{f}:[-3,\infty)\rightarrow[0,\infty)$

g(x) = x2 + 1 is a polynomial.

⇒ g : R → R

Computation of fog: Range of g is not a subset of the doamin of f.

and domain (fog) = {x : x $\in$ domain of g and g(x) $\in$ domain of f(x)}

⇒ Domain (fog) = {x : x $\in\text{R}$ and x2 + 1 $\in[-3,\infty)$}

⇒ Domain (fog) = {x : x $\in\text{R}$ and x2 + 1 $\geq-3$}

⇒ Domain (fog) = {x : x $\in\text{R}$ and x2 + 4 $\geq0$}

⇒ Domain (fog) = {x : x $\in\text{R}$ and $\text{x}\in\text{R}$}

⇒ Domain (fog) = R

fog : R → R

(fog)(x) = f(g(x))

= f(x2 + 1)

$=\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1+3}$

$=\sqrt{\text{x}^2+4}$

Computation of gof: Range of f is a subset of the doamin of g.

$\text{gof}:[-3,\infty)\rightarrow\text{R}$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{(gof)(x)}=\text{g(f(x)})$

$=\text{g}(\sqrt{\text{x}+3})$

$=(\sqrt{\text{x}+3})^2+1$

$=\text{x}+3+1$

$=\text{x}+4$

Question 553 Marks
Find fog and gof if:

f(x) = x + 1, g(x) = sinx

Answer
f(x) = x + 1, g(x) = sinx

Range of f = R $\subset$ Domain of g = R ⇒ gof exists

Range of g = [-1, 1] $\subset$ Domain of f = R ⇒ fog exists

Now,

fog(x) = f(g(x)) = f(sinx) = sinx + 1

And

gof(x) = g(f(x)) = g(x + 1) = sin(x + 1)
