CHAPTER 2 : RELATIONS AND FUNCTIONS

1. Let


2. A = {1,0,-1}, B={2,3}, C={1,-1}, find A B C and B A C
3. If (a, 1), (b, -1) and (c, c) are three elements of A B and n(B A) = 9, Find
the sets A, B and B C.
4. Write all relations from A to B where A = {3, 1} and B= {2, 5}.
5. If f(x) = x + , prove that [f(x)]
3
= f(x
3
) + 3f .
6. If f(x) = , x - , then show that f(f(x)) = , provided x - .
7. If f(x) = , x 1, then show that f(f(x)) = x, provided that x 0.
8. If f(x) = , x -1, then show that f(f(x)) = - , provided that x 0.
9. Let .
(i) Write R in Roster form (ii) Draw the arrow diagram of R
(iii) Find the domain of R (iv) Find the range of R.
10. Let A = {-3, -2, - 1, 0, 1, 2, 3}. Let R be a relation on A defined by the rule
(a,b) R if 1+ab >0. Write R in roster form.
11. What is the fundamental difference between a relation and a function? Is
every relation a function? Justify your answer. Is the converse true?
12. Find the domain and the range of the functions
