TOPIC: FUNCTIONS = x( x + 2)
Since every horizontal line cuts through h(x) at
most once, therefore h is one-one and h–1 exists.
QUESTIONS y = cos( x + 1)
cos −1 y = x + 1
1(a) f : x → x 2 − 2 x + 1, x ∈ ℜ, x ≥ 1
x = cos −1 y − 1

h −1 ( x) = cos −1 x − 1, x ∈ ℜ, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1
R f = [0, ∞ )
Since every horizontal line cuts through f(x) at
most once, therefore f is one-one and f –1 exists. 1
(c) s( x) = + x , x ∈ ℜ, x ≠ 0
y = x 2 + 2x x

y = ( x + 1) 2 − 1
y= 3
( x + 1) 2 = y + 1
From the graph, any horizontal line cuts the 2
graph of y = f(x) at most once. Thus, the x +1= ± y +1
function is a one – one function. x = −1 + y + 1 –2
or
(b) f : x → 4 − x2 , x ∈ [− 2, 2]
x = −1 − y + 1 (N.A.Q x ≥ 0 ) R s = (−∞,−2] ∪ [2, ∞)

2 D f -1 = R f = [0, ∞) Since the horizontal line y = 3 cuts through the

y= f(x)
graph more than once, therefore s is not one-one
y= 1
∴ f −1 ( x) = −1 + x + 1, x ∈ ℜ, x ≥ 0 and s –1 does not exist.

From the graph, the horizontal line
y = 1 cuts the graph of y = f(x) at 2 points. 1
Thus, the function is not a one to one function.

D g = (−1, ∞) R g = (−∞, ∞) 1 y −3 the graph of f at most once, hence f is one-one.
Then, 2 x + 1 = e y −3 ⇒ x =
