Chapter 1
Function
1.1 Function
Function can be described in five ways.
1. A verbal statement
E.g.
A={1,2}, B={5,10,15}
A function from A to B
By a verbal statement,
“is one fifth of”
2. An arrow diagram

3. A set of order pairs


{(1,5), (2,10)}

4. A table form
x 1 2
5x 5 10

5. A graph

Function

3
Phyo Min Zaw (M.C.Sc) MCK Education Center Math

A function from a set A to a set B


Each element of A relates to exactly one element of B.
x is related to y: x↦y
y = the image of x
A= domain of the function
B= codomain of the function
R= the range of the function (the set of all images)
R={y∈B| y is the image of some x in A}
R⊂B means that the range is a subset of the codomain.

1.2 Function Notation


f: A B means that “f is a function from A to B”.
f: x ↦ y means that “ f maps x to y” or
“ y is the image of x under f”
y= f(x) means that y is denoted by f(x).
f(x) means that “ f of x”.
f: x ↦ 3x means that “ 3x is the image of x under f”.
f(x)= x2+ x+ 1 is called “ the formula for the function f”.

 f maps both 2 and -3 to 9.


 That is f(2)= 9, f(-3)=9
 it is not a one-to-one function.

 The image of 2 under g = g(2)


o The image of -1 under f is 3
o that is f(-1)=3

Equality of function
Two functions f and g are equal (that is f=g) if and only if
(1) f and g have the same domain,
(2) f and g have the same codomain, and
(3) f(x)=g(x) for each element x of the domain
In symbol,
f: AB and g:A B have the same function
if and only if
f(x)=g(x) for each x in A.

Change a=31.62 and t(30°)=1.366to three significant figure.


a=31.6 (3.s.f)
t(30°)=1.37 (3.s.f)

1.3 Some ideas on Functions


Range
f:A  B.
x∈A , y∈B
f: x ↦y
A = domain of th function
The set of all images of element of A= the range of the function.
Rf(A)= the range of f.
Rf(A)={f(x)| x∈A}.

One-to-One correspondence
Let f:A B be function.
Each element of B is related to exactly one element of A.
Then f is called a one-to-one correspondence between A and B.
The set A and B are said to be in one-to-one correspondence.

Some useful functions


(1)Constant function
Let f: RR
f(x)=k, k𝛜R is a constant.
f(-1)=k
f(0)=k
f(4)=k
f(5)=k,…etc
The function f is called a constant function.

(2) Identity function on A


Let I:A A be a function.
I(x)=x is called the identity function on A.
Each element of A is related to itself.
I(1)=1
I(0)=0
I(-3)=-3
I is a one-to-one correspondcec between A and A.

(3) Modulus function


f(x)=|𝑥|
(or)
x if x≥0
f(x)=
-x if x<0
|𝑥| 𝑖𝑠 𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑚𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑢𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑥 𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑏𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑒 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑥.
E.g
|2| = 2, |−5| = 5, |0| = 0
𝑓: 𝑅 → 𝑅 𝑑𝑒𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑦
𝑓(𝑥) = |𝑥| 𝑖𝑠 𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑑 𝑚𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑢𝑠 𝑓𝑢𝑛𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛.

Fig: modulus function.

4. Step function
Let A={x|0≤x≤3} and B=R.
Let f:A B be defined by
𝟎 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝟎 ≤ 𝒙 < 𝟏
f(x)= 𝟏 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝟏 ≤ 𝒙 < 𝟐
𝟐 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝟐 ≤ 𝒙 < 𝟑
This function is called a step function.

1.4 Composite function of Functions


Let f:A B and g:BC be given functions.
the range of f is a subset of the domain of g.

(g∘f)(x)= g(f(x))
g∘f is called the composite of f and g.
g∘f is read “ g circle f”.
(f∘g)(x)=f(g(x))

1.5 Some Properties of Composite of functions.


Closure
By the definition of composition of two functions, the composite of functions is again a
function. In most applications we work on particular sets of functions, and we should like the
composite of two functions of a certain type to be of the same type.
Eg.
f(x)= 2x+3, g(x) =5x-4 : this functions are known as linear function.
(f∘g)(x)=10x -5,
(g∘f)(x)= 10x+11,
both f∘g and g∘f are also linear functions.
Linear functions are closed under composition.
Closure property is satisfy.

Eg.
f:AA, g:AA
f∘g :A A

7
Phyo Min Zaw (M.C.Sc) MCK Education Center Math

These functions f and g and composition function f∘g are one to one correspondence.
One-to-one correspondence between A and A are closed under composition.
Closure property is satisfy.

Associative property
(h∘(g∘f))(x) = h((g∘f)(x))=h(g(f(x)))
((h∘g) ∘f)(x)= (h∘g)(f(x))
(h∘(g∘f))(x)= ((h∘g) ∘f)(x)
h∘(g∘f)= (h∘g) ∘f
It illustrates the associative property of composition of functions.

Identity function
I:RR defined by I(x)=x
f:RR be a function.
(f∘I)(x)=f(x)
(I∘f)(x)=f(x)
∴(f∘I)(x)=(I∘f)(x)=f(x)
f∘I =I∘f = f

Commutativity
The composition of functions does not, in general, obey the commutative law.
In particular case, f∘g= g∘f
In general, f∘g ≠ g∘f

1.6 Inverse functions


f:AB
g:BA
y=f(x)⇔x=f-1(y)

To find Inverse function

Our main purpose is to obtain a function from B to A.

8
Phyo Min Zaw (M.C.Sc) MCK Education Center Math

This does not give us a function from B to A.


The inverse of the given function f does not exist.
When the function f is not a one-to-one correspondence, the inverse of the given function f
does not exist, i.e., f-1 does not exist.

This does not give us a function from B to A.


There is no inverse function.
Observe again that the given function f is not a one-to-one correspondence and that f-1 does
not exist.

Condition for Existence Inverse function


g:B A
g(b)=x, g is called the inverse of f (g=f-1)
f(x)=b

f:A B has the inverse function g:B A if and only if f is a one-to-one correspondence
between A and B.

y=f(x) ⟺ x= f-1(y)
(or)
Let f-1(x)=y ⟺ f(y)= x

9
Phyo Min Zaw (M.C.Sc) MCK Education Center Math

Domain of f = {x| x∈R, x≠k, k=constant}


Eg.
𝟐
𝒇(𝒙) =
𝟑 − 𝟒𝒙
𝟑
Domain of f = {x| x∈R, x≠ }
𝟒
𝟑𝒙 − 𝟐
𝒇 𝟏 (𝒙) =
𝟒𝒙
Domain of f-1={x| x∈R, x≠0}

1.8 Binary operation


f:N×N N
(x,y) ↦ f((x,y))=x+y

Defintion
A binary operation “⊙” on a set A is a function from A×A into A. The domain of “⊙” is
A×A and the range of “⊙” is a subset of A.

Closure Property
⊙(x,y)= x⊙y ∈A whenever (x,y) ∈ A×A

Remark
(1) If N is the set of natural numbers, then the function
Addition
⊙: N×N  N defined by
(x, y) ↦x⊙y= x+y
is a binary operation. That is, addition is a binary operation on the set of natural
numbers.
(2) Similarly, multiplication
⊙: N×N  N defined by
(x, y) ↦x⊙y= xy
is a binary operation. That is, multiplication is a binary operation on the set of natural
numbers.

Remark
The simplest way to show the elements produced by a binary operation is by construction of a
table (known as Cayley table) as shown in figure below.
The elements a⊙b can be found at the intersection of the row containing a and the column
containing b.

10
Phyo Min Zaw (M.C.Sc) MCK Education Center Math

Definition 2:
A binary operation ⊙: A×A A
(a, b) ↦ a⊙b
is said to be commutative if and only if
a⊙b= b⊙a

Composite
⊙ is a binary operation.
⊙: A×A  A
(a, b) ↦ a⊙b
(a⊙b) ⊙c means that (a, b) ↦ a⊙b ∈A, and
(a⊙b, c) ↦ (a⊙b) ⊙c

Definition 3
A binary operation ⊙: A×A A
(a, b) ↦ a⊙b
is said to be associative if and only if
a⊙(b⊙c)= (a⊙b)⊙c

Cayley Tables
 Cayley tables are widely used for binary operation.

Example
Let A={0, 1, 2, 3, 4} and a binary operation ⊕:A× AA be defined by (x, y) ↦x⊕y=r,
where r is the remainder when x+y is divided by 5. (Here + is the usual addition). Complete
the following Cayley’s table. This kind of binary operation is called 5-hour clock arithmetic
or arithmetic modulo 5.]
11
Phyo Min Zaw (M.C.Sc) MCK Education Center Math

⊕ 0 1 2 3 4
0 0 1 2 3 4
1 1 2 3 4 0
2 2 3 4 0 1
3 3 4 0 1 2
4 4 0 1 2 3
This kind of binary operation together with set A is called 5-hour clock arithmetic or
arithmetic modulo-5.
 ⊕3 denotes addition in 3-hour clock arithmetic (based on a clock with the numerals 0, 1,
2).
x⊕3 y = the remainder when x+y is divided by 3.
 ⊗5 is multiplication in 5-hour clock arithmetic. (Notice that the entries are the remainders
on division by 5)
x⊗5 y = the remainder when xy is divided by 5

𝒇(𝒙) ÷ (𝒙 − 𝒌) → 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 = 𝒇(𝒌)
𝒇(𝒙) ÷ (𝒙 + 𝒌) → 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 = 𝒇(−𝒌)

Prove if f(x) is divided by (x-k), the remainder is f(k)


Proof:
Let Q(x) be the quotient.
Let R be the remainder when f(x)÷(x – k).
Q(x)
(x – k) f(x)

R
f(x)= (x – k) Q(x) + R
Substitute k for x,
f(k) = (k – k) Q(x)+ R

∴ f (k) =R
The remainder = f(k)
This is the remainder theorem.

The factor theorem

(1) (x-k) is a factor of f(x)f(k)=0


(2) (x+k) is a factor of f(x)f(-k)=0
(3) (ax-b) is a factor of f(x) f( )=0
(4) (ax+b) is a factor of f(x) f(− )=0

Factor Theorem
Prove if the remainder is zero, f(x) is divisible by (x-k) that is (x – k) is a factor of f(x).
Proof:
Let Q(x) be the quotient.
Let R be the remainder when f(x)÷(x – k).
Q(x)
(x – k) f(x)

0
f(x)= (x – k) Q(x) + 0
Substitute k for x,
f(k) = (k – k) Q(x)
=0
∴ f (k) =0
The remainder = f(k) = 0
∴(x – k ) is a factor of f(x). (or)
f(x) is divisible by (x – k).
This is the factor theorem.

Notes:
To find factors,
f(x)= x3 – 3x2 – 4x +12
Consider the integers which divides 12.
They are ±1, ±2, ±3, ±4, ±6, ±12.
