INTRODUCTION
1.1 Definition :
Function can be defined as :
To every element in domain, there exists unique image in co-domain.
Generally, we write f : A B and is read as f maps from A to B and this correspondence is denoted by
y f ( x ) such that A and B are two non-empty sets, i.e. to every element of A, there exists one and only
one elements in B.
Note : From definition, it follows that there may exist some elements in B which may not have any corresponding
elements in set A. But there should not be any x left (elements of A) for which there is no elements in set B.
i.e. Functions can’t be multi - valued ( A mappying that is multi -valued is called relation from A to B)
