CHAPTER 1
RELATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

In Class XI, we have introduced the notion of a relation, its domain, co-domain and range. Let us

ww
recall that a relation from a set A to a set B is a subset of A x 6. If R is a relation from a set A to a set
B and {a, b) e R, then we say that a is related to b under relation R and we write as a R b. If
{a, b) g R, then we say that a is not related tob under R and we write as aRb. A relation can be
represented in roster form or tabular form. Sometimes, we also describe a relation by describing

Flo
the common property between the elements of ordered pairs in it. For example, a relation R on

ee
the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4,5} defined by R = {{a,b) :b = a + 2} can also be expressed as: aRb if and

rere
only if & = <7 + 2. In this chapter, we will study different types of relations.

rFF
1.2 RECAPITULATION
uurr
In this section, we will recall some definitions learnt in the earlier class.
foor
CARTESIAN PRODUCT OF SETS Let A and B be two non-empty sets. The set of all ordered pairs (a, b)
ks s
such that aeA and b e Bis called the cartesian product of set A with set B and is denoted by Ax B.
Yoo

Thus, A X B = {{a, b):a sA and b € B}. Note that B x A = {(&, a) :b eB and aeA}
oook

Also, AxB=4>, if A=4» orB = (})


eBB

If A = {1, 2, 3} and B = {j:, y), then


A X B = {(1, x), {1, y), (2, X), (2, y), (3, x), (3, y)}, Bx A = {{x,l], (x,2l {x, 3), (y,l), (y, 2), (y, 3)}
uurr

A X A = {(1,1), (1,2), (1, 3), (2,1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (3,1), (3, 2), (3, 3)}
ad

and, B X B = {{x, x), (x, y), (y, x), (y, y)}


Yo

RELATION Let A and B be two sets. Then a relation R from set A to set B is a subset ofAxB.
dY

Thus, R is a relation from A to B<=>RcAxB.


Re
innd

If R is a relation from a non-void set A to a non-void set B and if (a, b) e R, then we write aRb
which is read as "a is related to b by the relation R". If (a, b) g R, then we write aRb and we say
FFi

that a is not related to b by the relation R.


If A and B are finite sets consisting of in and n elements respectively, then Ax B has mn ordered
pairs. Therefore, total number of relations from A to B is 2'"".
DOMAIN Let Rbea relation from a set A to a set B. Then the set of allfirst components or coordinates of
the ordered pairs belonging to R is called the domain ofR.
Thus, domain of R - {a: {a, b) eR}. Clearly, domain of R c A.
If A = {1, 3,5, 7}, B = {2, 4, 6, 8,10} and R = {(1, 8), (3, 6), (5, 2), (1, 4)} is a relation from A to B,
then Domain (R) = {1,3,5}.
RANGE Let Rbea relation from a set A to a set B. Then the set of all second components or coordinates of
the ordered pairs belonging to R is called the range of R.
Thus, Range of R = {b :{a,b) & R}. Clearly, range of R c B.
If A = {1,3,5, 7), B = {2, 4, 6, 8,10} and R = {(1, 8), (3, 6), (5, 2), (1, 4)} is a relation from A to B,
then Range (R) = {8, 6, 2,4}.
1.2 MATHEMATiCS-XII

RELATION ON A SET Let A be a non-void set. Then a relation from A to itself i.e. a subset of Ax A is
called a relation on set A.

INVERSE OF A RELATION Let A, B be two sets and let Rbea relation from a set A to a set B. Then, the
inverse of R, denoted bi/R~^, is a relation from B to A and isd^ned byR''^ = {{b, a):{a, b)€R).
Clearly, e R o (b,a) Also, Domain(R) = Range (R” and. Range(R) = Domain (R“^)
Let A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {a, b, c, fr}be two sets and R = {(1, a), (1, c), (2, d), (2, c)}be a relation from A
to B. Then, R ^ = {{a, 1), (c, 1), {d, 2), (c, 2)} is
a relation from B to A.

1.3 TYPES OF RELATIONS

In this section, we intend to discuss various types of relations on a set A.

w
1.3.1 VOID, UNIVERSAL AND IDENTITY RELATIONS

Flo
VOID RELATION Let A be a set. Then, (|) c A x A and so it is a relation on A. This relation is called the
void or empty relation on set A.

e
In other words, a relation R on a set A is called void or empty relation, if no element of A is

rree
related to any element of A.

r FF
Consider the relation R on the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4,5} defined by R = {{a, b):a-b =12}.
uurr
We observe that a-b=^12for any two elements of A. for
{a, &) g R for any n, b e A.
R does not contain any element of A x A => R is empty set => R is the void relation on A.
kss
ooook

UNIVERSAL RELATION Let A be a set. Then, Ax Ac Ax A and so it is a relation on A. This relation is


Yo

called the universal relation on A.


eB

In other words, a relation R on a set is called imiversal relation, if each element of A is related to
every element of A.
urr

Consider the relation R on the set A = {1, 2, 3, 4,5, 6} defined by R = {(«, b) e R : | | > 0}.
ad

We observe that
Yo

I fl - b I >0 for all<?,b € A


dY

=> {a, b) e R for all (a, b) e A x A


Re
innd

^ Each element of set A is related to every element of set A


=> R =A X A
Fi

=> R is universal relation on set A


NOTE It is to note here that the void relation and
the universal relation on a set A are respectively the
smallest and the largest relations on set A. Both the empty (or void) relation and the universal relation are
sometimes called trivial relations.

ILLUSTRATION Let A be the set of all students of a boys school. Show that the relation R on A given by
R = {{a, b): a is sister ofb} is empty relation and R' = {(a, b): the difference between the heights of a and b
is less than 5 meters} is the universal relation.
SOLUTION Since the school is boys school. Therefore, no student of the school can be sister of
any student of the school. Thus, (a, b) ^R for any a,b eA.
Hence, R = 4>i.e. R is the empty or void relation on A.
It is obvious that the difference between the heights of any two students of the school has to be
less than 5 meters,
(fl, b) e R for all fl, b e A R = A x A =5> R is the universal relation on set A.
RELATIONS 1.3

IDENTITY RELATION Let A be a set. Then, the relation = {{a, a): a e A} on A is called the identity
relation on A.

In other words, a relation on ^ is called the identity relation if every element of A is related to
itself only.
If A = {1, 2, 3}, then the relation = {(1,1), (2, 2), (3, 3)} is the identity relation on set A. But,
relations = {{1,1), (2, 2)} and R2 = {(1,1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 3)} are not identity relations on A,
because (3, 3) g Ri and in R2 element 1 is related to two elements 1 and 3.
1.3.2 REFLEXIVE RELATION

DEFINITION A relation R on a set A is said to be reflexive, if every element of A is related to itself.


Thus, R is reflexive {a, a) sR for aU a € A.

ww
A relation K on a set A is not reflexive if there exists an element <? e A such that (a, a) g R.

ILLUSTRATION 1 let A = (1,2,3} be a set. Then R = {(1,1), (2,2), (3,3), (1,3), (2,1)} is a reflexive

FF loo
relation on A. But, R^ = {(1,1), (3,3), (2,1), (3, 2)) is not a reflexive relation on A, because 2 s Abut
(2, 2)gJ?i.

ree
ILLUSTRATION 2 The identity relation on a non-void set A is always reflexive relation on A. However,
a reflexive relation on A is not necessarily the identity relation on A. For example, the relation R = {(a, a),
(b, b), (c, c), (a, b)} is a reflexive relation on set A= [a, b, c] but it is not the identity relation on A.

ILLUSTRATION 3 Let S be a non-void set and Rbea relation defined on power set P(S) by

NOTE A relation Ron a set A is not a symmetric relation if there are at least two elements a,b e A such
that {a, b) eR but (b, a) g R.
ILLUSTRATION 4 LetA = (1,2,3,4) and let Rj and R2 be relations on A given by Ri = |(1,3), (1,4),

(3, 1), (2, 2) (4,1)} and R2 = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (1, 3)}. Clearly, Ri is a symmetric relation on A.
However, R2 is not so, because (1,3) e R2 but (3,1) g R2-
note -d reflexive relation on a set A is not necessarily symmetric. For example, the relation R = {(1,1),
(2,2), (3,3), (1,3)) is a reflexive relation on set A = {1,2,3| but it is not symmetric.
ILLUSTRATIONS Prove that a relation Ron a set A is symmetric iffR = R

SOLUTION First, let R be a symmetric relation on set A. Then, we have to prove that R = R " .In
order to prove this we have to prove that R c R”^ and R~^ c R.
1.4 MATHEMATICS-Xn

Now, (a, b) eR

^ {a, b) eR [By definition of inverse relation]

Thus, {a, b) eR => {a,b) eR for all a,b eA.

So, R c K ...(i)

Now, let {x, y) be an arbitrary element of Then,

Thus, (x, y) € R~^ => {x, y) eR for dW.x,y e A.
So, R“^c R ...(ii)

Flo
From (i) and (ii), we obtain: R =R~^.

e
eree
Conversely, let K be a relation on set A such that R =R~^. Then we have to prove that K is a
symmetric relation on set A. Let {a, b) e R. Then,

{a, b) eR

Thus, (a, b) eR=> {b, a) eR for all a,b eA.

So, R is a symmetric relation on A. Hence, R is symmetric iff R = R~^.

1.3.4 TRANSITIVE RELATION

DEFINITION Let A be any set. A relation R on A is said to be a transitive relation iff


{a, b) eR and{b, c) e R => {a, c) eR for all a,b,c e A. i.e., aRb andbRc =i* aRcforalla,bc e A.

YYo

ILLUSTRATION 2 The relation R on the set N of all natural numbers deifned by


(x,y) eR ^ X divides y, for all x,y eN is transitive.
dd

SOLUTION Let x,y,zeNhe such that (x, y) e R and (y, z) e R. Then,


Re
inn

(x, y) eR and (y, 2) e R


X divides y and, y divides z
F

=> There exist p,qeN such that y =xp and z=yq


=> z = {xp)q
=> z = x{pq)
=> X divides 2 [v pqeN]
=> (a:,2)eR
Thus, (x, y) e R, (y, 2) e R => (x, z) eR for all z, y, 2 € N. Hence, R is a transitive relation on N.
ILLUSTRATION 3 On the set N of natural numbers, the relation R defined by xRy => x is less than y is
transitive, because for any x,y,ze N, we find that
X <y and y <z => x<z i.e., xRyandyRz => xRz
ILLUSTRATION 4 Let S beanon-void set and R be a relation defined on power set P{S) by (A, B) eR

RELATIONS 1.5

ILLUSTRATION 6 The relation "is congruent to" on the set T of all triangles in a plane is a transitive
relation.

1.3.5 ANTISYMMETRIC RELATION

DEFINITION A relation R on set A is said to be an antisymmetric relation iff


{a, b) gR and (b,a) eR=> a = b for all a,b &A
note It follows from this definition that if {a, b) eR but {b, a) e R, then also R is an antisymmetric
relation.

ILLUSTRATION 1 The identity relation on a set A is an antisymmetric relation.


ILLUSTRATION 2 The universal relation on a set A containing at least two elements is not
antisymmetric, because if a ^ b are in A, then a is related to b and b is related to a under the universal
relation will imply that a = b but a^r^^b.

ILLUSTRATION 3 Let R be a relation on the set N of natural numbers defined by
xRy 'x divides y' for all x,y sN
This relation is an antisymmetric relation on N. Since for any two numbers a,b eN, we find that

Floo
a I b and b\a => a = b i.e. aRb and bRa => a = b
It should be noted that this relation is not antisymmetric on the set Z of integers, because we find that for

So, R is a transitive relation on Z. Hence, R is an equivalence relation on Z.
Let us now find the sets of integers realted to various integers in Z. For any integer a, let [«]
denote the set of integers related to a under relation R i.e. [rt] = (a e Z : (a, a) e Rj. Then, we find
that

[0] = {a E Z :(a, 0) E Rj = {a E Z : A-Ois divisible 2} = {a e Z: Ais divisible by 2}


= |0, ± 2, ± 4, ± 6,...}
[1] = {a E Z : (a, 1) € R} = (a e Z : a -1 is divisible by 2} = {a e Z : a -1 = 2X, X s Z)

[3] = {a E Z : (a, 3) E R} = {a e Z : A - 3 is divisible by 2}

Continuing in this manner, we find that
[0]=[2] = [4] = [6]=...; [1]=[3]=[5]=[7]=... and, [0]n[1] = ([i Also, Z = [0]u[l].
Thus, R partitions the set Z into two pairwise disjoint sets known as equivalence classes.
Similarly, the relation K on Z given by
{x, y) € R <=> a: -y is divisible by 3
partitions Z into 3 pairwise disjoints sets i.e. equivalence classes given by
[0] =1-6,-3,0, 3,6,9,...}, [1] ={...,-8,-5,-2,1,4,7,10,.,.},[2] = {...,7,-4,-1,2,5,8,11,...}

It is evident from the above discussion that an equivalence relation R defined on a set A
partitions the set A into pairwise disjoint subsets. These subsets are called equivalence classes
determined by relation R. The set of all elements of A related to an element <7 e A is denoted by [«]

Flo
i.e. [fl] = (x e A : {x, a) e R]. This is an equivalence class. Corresponding to every element in A
there is an equivalence class. Any two equivalence classes are either identical or disjoint. The

EXAMPLE 15 Shozo that the number of equivalence relations on the set {L, 2, 3} containing {1,2) azid
(2,1) is two. [NCERT]
SOLUTION The smallest equivalence relation R^ containing (1,2) and (2,1) is
Rl={(l,l),{2, 2), (3, 3), (1,2), (2,1)}
Now, we are left with four ordered pairs namely (2,3), (3,2), (1,3) and (3,1). If we add any one,
say (2,3) to Ry then for symmetry we must add (3,2) and then for transitivity we are forced to
add (1,3) and (3,1). Thus, the only equivalence relation other than Rj is the universal relation.
Hence, the total number of equivalence relations containing (1,2) and (2,1) is two.
EXAMPLE 16 On the set N of all natural numbers, a relation R is defined as follows:
nRm o Each of the natural numbers n and m leaves the same remainder less than 5 when divided by 5.
Show that R is an equivalence relation. Also, obtain the pairwise disjoint subsets determined by R.
SOLUTION We observe the following properties of relation R.
Reflexivity: Let a be an arbitrary element of N. Then, either a is less than 5 and if fl > 5, then on
dividing a by 5 we obtain a remainder as one of the numbers 0,1,2,3,4.
RELATIONS 1.21

Thus, aRa for all a eN. So, R is reflexive on N.


Si/mmetry: Let a,b sN such that aRb. Then,
aRb => Each of a and b leaves the same remainder less than 5 when divided by 5
=> Each of b and a leave the same remainder less than 5 when divided by 5 => bRa
Thus, aRb ^ bRa for all a,b eN. So, R is symmetric.
Transitivity: Let a,b, c eNhe such that aRb and bRc. Then,
aRb => Each of a and b leaves the same remainder less than 5 when divided by 5
bRc => Each of b and c leaves the same remainder less than 5 when divided by 5
Each of a and c leaves the same remainder less than 5 when divided by 5
=5> aRc

Thus, aRb and bRc => aRc for all a,b, c e N. So, Risa transitive relation on N.
Hence, R is an equivalence relation on N. Let us now find the equivalence classes.

xy = yx^ {x, y) R (x, y) [●.' Multiplication is commutative on Z]
Thus, {x, y) R (x, y) for all (x, y) e Z x Z. So, R is a reflexive relation on Z x Z.

So, R is a symmetric relation on Z.
Transitivity: Let (x, y), (m, u), {a,b)eZx Z be such that (x, y) R (m, u) and (m, i;) R (a, &). Then,

Reflexivity: Clearly, (1,1), (2,2), (3, 3), (4,4), (5,5), (6, 6), (7,7) e R. So, R is a reflexive

If both a and b are odd, then (b, c) eR => Both b and c are odd
Both a and c are odd

Thus, both a and c are even or odd. Therefore, (a, c) € R.


So, (a, b) e R and (b, c) eR => (a, c) g R.
Consequently, R isa transitive relation on A. Hence, R is an equivalence relation on A.
We observe that two numbers in A are related if both are odd or both are even. Since
{L, 3,5,7} has all odd numbers of A. So, all the numbers of {1, 3,5,7} are related to each

CHAPTER 2
FUNCTIONS

2.1 INTRODUCTION

The concept of function is of paramount importance in Mathematics and among other


disciplines as well. In earlier class we have introduced the notion of fimction and we have learnt

ww
about some special functions like identity function, constant function, polynomial function,
rational function, modulus function, greatest integer function, signum function etc. along with

FF loo
their graphs. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of two real functions have also
been studied in the earlier class. In this chapter, we would like to extend our study about

ree
functions from where we finished in earlier class. We will study about various kinds of
functions, composition of functions and inverse of a function. Let us first recapitulate what we

rFee
have learnt about functions in earlier class.

FUNCTION AS A CORRESPONDENCE let A and B be tzvo non-empty sets. Then a function f'fromsetA

that:
dY
Re

(i) all elements of set A are associated to elements in set B.


idn

(ii) an element of set A is associated to a unique element in set B.


FFin

In other words, a function f'from a set A toasetB associates each element of set A to a unique element of
set B.

Terms such as "map" (or "mapping"), "correspondence" are used as synonyms for "function".
/
If/is a function from a set A to a set B, then we write/: A -> B or A B, which is read as fis a
function from A toB oif maps A to B.
If an element a e A is associated to an element^ € B, then b is called "thef-image of a" or "image of a
under f" or" the value of the function fat a ". Also, a is called the pre-image of b under the function/.
We write it as b =f{a).
The set A is known as the domain of / and the set B is known as the co-domain of /. The set of aU
/-images of elements of A is known as the range of / or image set of A under / and is denoted by
/(A).
Thus, /(A) = \f{x): X e A] = Range of /.

B corresponding to each input from the set A just as the function 'machine' shown in Fig. 2.2 which

ww
generate an output y = 2x^ + 5for each input x.
Usually, real functions are described by using a mathematical formula. It is traditional to let :c
denote the input and y the corresponding output and to describe the function we write an

Flo
equation relating x and y. In such an equation x and y are called variables. Because the value of

e
the variable y is determined by that of the variable x, so we call y the dependent variable and x the

eree
independent variable.

In order to represent a real function y = f{x) geometrically as a graph, we use a cartesian
sk

coordinate system on which units for the independent variable x are marked on the horizontal
oook

axis i.e. x-axis and imits for the dependent variable y on the vertical axis i.e. y-axis.

GRAPH OF A FUNCTION The graph of a real function f consists of points whose coordinates (x, y) satisfy
y =f (x)ffor all X e Domain (/).
In this section, we shall discuss graphs of some standard real functions.
uurr

By the definition of a real function /, for a given x in its domain there is only one number y =f (x)
ad
Yo

in its range. Geometrically, this means that any vertical line x = a crosses the graph of / (x) at
most once only. This observation leads to the following useful criterion for checking whether a
dY

curve in a plane is the graph of a function or not.

VERTICAL LINE TEST A curve in a plane represents the graph of a real function if and only if no vertical
line intersects it more than once.

The curves shown in Fig. 2.3 (a) are the graphs of function whereas the curves shown in

FUNCTIONS 2.3

Following are some standard real functions which will occur very frequently in the study of
calculus.

CONSTANT FUNCTION Ifk is a fixed real number, then a function f (x) given byf{x)=k for all x&R is
called a constant function.
Sometimes we also call it the constant function k.
We observe that the domain of the constant function f(x)=k is the set R of all real numbers and
range of / is the singleton set [k].
The graph of a constant function/ (x) = cf is a straight line parallel to x-a)ds (see Fig. 2.4) which is
above or below :r-axis according as k is positive or negative. If cf = 0, then the straight line is
coincident to x-axis,

We observe that the domain of the modulus function is the set R of all real numbers and the

The graph of the modulus function is as shown in Fig. 2.6 for x > 0, the graph coincides with
FFi

the graph of the identity function i.e. the line y = x and for x < 0, it is coincident to the line y = - x.

GREATEST INTEGER FUNCTION (FLOOR FUNCTION) For any real number X, we use the symbol [x]

[2.75] = 2, [3] =3, [0.74] = 0,[-7.45] =-8etc.
The function f :R R defined by f (x) = [x] for all x eR is called the greatest integer function or the
floor function.
It is also called a step function.

2.2.1 OPERATIONS ON REAL FUNCTIONS

In this section, we shall recall various operations, namely addition, subtraction, multiplication,

division etc. on real functions.


eBB

ADDITION Letf:Di Randg:D2 ^ be two real functiorts. Then, their sum f -h g is defined as that
function from Dj nD^to R which associates each x e n D2 fo the number f (x) + g (x).
uurr

In other words, if /: Dj ^ R and g: D2 —> R are two real functions, then their sum / + ^ is a
ad

function from n D2 to R such that


Yo

if + g)(x) = f (x) + g (x) for all X e Dj n D2


dY

PRODUCT Let /:Dj R and g:D2 R be two real functions. Then, their product (or pointwise
Re

multiplication) f g is a function from n D2 fo R and is defined as


FFin

DIFFERENCE (SUBTRACTION) Let / > R andg:D2 ^ be two realfunctions. Then the difference
ofgfrom f is denoted byf-gand is defined as
(f-g){x) = f(x)-g{x) forallx^DinD2
QUOTIENT Let /: Dj ^ R and R: D2 R be two real functions. Then the quotient off by g is denoted
by f-8 and it is a function from Dj n D2 - |x: ^ (x) = 0) fo R defined by

^ {X) =
fix)
for all X nD2-{x:g (x) = 0}

MULTIPLICATION OF A FUNCTION BY A SCALAR Let f :D ~=^Rbaa realfunction and abea scalar (real
number). Then the product af is a function from D toR and is defined as
FUNCTIONS 2.11

{af){x) = af{x) forallxeD.


RECIPROCAL OF A FUNCTION I//: D -> R is a real function, then its reciprocalfunction /^ is a function
(l) 1
from D - [x: f (x) = 0] to R and is defined as - (;\:) =
f fix)
REMARK 1 The sum, difference product and quotient are defined for real functions only on their common
domain. These operations do not make any sense for general functions even if their domains are same,
because the sum, difference, product and quotient may or may not be meaningful for the elements in their
common domain.

In such a case it is not possible to list the images of all elements of set A to see whether different

SJww that the function f :Z -> Z defined by f{x) = x^ + x for all x eZ, is a
many-one function.
SOLUTION Let x, y eZ. Then,
fix) = fiy) +x = y^+ y => (x^-y^) + {x-y) = 0
(.t -y) (a: + y + 1) = 0 => x = y or, y - -.r -1.
Since f(x)=f{y) does not provide the unique solution a: =y but it also providesy =-a:-1.
This means that x ^y but f{x) = f{y) when y = - a: -1. For example, if we put a:=liny = -a:-l
we obtain y = - 2. This shows that 1 and -2 have the same image under f. Hence, f is a many-one
function.

2.4 COMPOSITION OF FUNCTIONS

Let A, B and C be three non-void sets and let /: A ^: B -> C be two functions. Since /is a
function from A to B, therefore for each x e A there exists a unique element/(at) e B. Again, since
^ is a function from B to C, therefore corresponding to f{x) e B there exists a unique element
iif (^)) e C. Thus, for each x e A there exists a unique element g (fix)) e C.
It follows from the above discussion that / and g when considered together define a new
function from A to C. This function is called the composition of/and g and is denoted by gof. We
define it formally as follows:

DEFINITION Let f :A B and g:B ~>Cbe two functions. Then a function gof: A C defined by

note 1 It is evident from the definition that gof is defined only iffor each xeA,f(x) is an element of

domain ofg so that we can take its g-image. Hence, for the composition gof to exist, the range off must be a

subset of the domain ofg as shown in Fig. 2.37.

defined for those elements in domain of / which have their images in domain of g. Similarly, if
range of g is not a subset of domain of /, then fog is defined for those elements in domain of g
which have their images in the domain of /.
Thus, we may define the composition of two real functions as follows:

Let A and B be two sets and \etf: A -i- Bbe a mapping. As we have discussed earlier that if a e A
is associated to & e B under the function f, then 'b' is called the/image of 'a' and we write it as
b = /(fl). We also say that 'a' is the pre-image or inverse element of 'b' under/and we write
a

It should be noted that the inverse of an element under a function


may consist of a single element two or more elements or no
element depending on whether function is injective or many-one;
onto or into. If /: A B is a many-one and into function, then the
inverse of some elements of B may or may not exist or the inverse of
some element of B may consists of more than one element. If/is a
bijection, then for each b eB,f~^ (b) exists and it consists of a

2.7 INVERSE OF A FUNCTION

FF loo
LetAandBbe two sets and \etf :A B be a function. If we follow a rule in which elements of B
are associated to their pre-images, then we find that under such a rule there may be some

ree
elements in B which are not associated to elements in A. This happens when/is not an onto map.
Therefore all elements in B will be associated to some elements in A if/is an onto map. Also, if it

oroFr
rur
one element in A. Therefore an element in B will be associated to a unique element in A if/is an

In order to find the inverse of a bijection, we may follow the following algorithm.
ALGORITHM

Let /: A -> B be a bijection. To find the inverse of / we follow the following steps:
Step I Put f (x) = y, where y e B and x e A.
Step n Solve f (x) = y to obtain x in terms ofy.
Step in In the relation obtained in step II replace x by f~^{y) to obtain the required inverse of ./

THEOREM 1 The inverse of a bijection is unique. [NCERT]

i^ROOF Let f: A -> B be a bijection. If possible, let ^: B -> /I and h:B~^Ahe tv^o inverses of/.
We have to prove that g = h. In order to prove this it is sufficient to show that g{y)=h (y) for all
y e B. Let y be an arbitrary element of B.

Let g (y) = Xi and h (y) = X2- Then,

THEOREM 3 If f: A B is a bijection and g:B ^ A is the inverse off, then fog = /g and gof =

Let a: be an element of A such that f(x) = y. Then,

HINTS TO SELECTED PROBLEMS


Yo

3. f: {1,2, 3}-> {a,b, c} is given by f (!) =a, f {2] =b, f (3) =c. Clearly, it is a bijection.
dY

Similarly, g: {a, b, c} {apple, ball, cat} given by ^ (a) = apple,g (6) = ball, ^ (c) =cat is also
Re

a bijection. Since composition of two bijection is a bijection.


innd

So, gof: {1, 2, 3} (apple, ball, cat} is a bijection.


FFi

It is given that: / = {(1, a), (2,b), (3, c)} and g = {(<?, apple), (b, ball), (c,cat)}
gof = {(1, apple), (2, ball), (3, cat)}
Clearly, / “ ^ = {{a, 1), (b, 2), (c, 3)} and g~ ^ = {(apple, a), (ball, b), (cat, c)}
(gof)^ ^ = {(apple, 1), (ball, 2), (cat, 3)} ...(i)

and, f~ ^og~ ^ = {(apple, 1), (ball, 2), (cat, 3)} -(ii)


From (i) and (ii), we get {gof)~ ^ =f~ ^og~ V
6. It is given that /: R -> R such that / (a:) = 4x + 3.
/ is an injection: Let a:, y e R be such that / (a*) = / (y) => 4x + 3 = 4y + 3 => a: = y.
So, / is an injection.
fis a surjection: Let y be an arbitrary element of R (Co-domain) such that f{x) - y. Then,
FUNCTIONS 2.59

/{x)=y^ 4x+3 = y ^ x =
y —3
Thus, for any y e i? there exists x = — e R such that

/w=/(^ = 4 ^V3=y
4 J ^

So, /: i? R is a bijection and hence invertible. Let / denote the inverse of /. Then,
fof~ ^ (:c) = X for all x e R

x=y [V x,yeR^]

So, / is an injective map.
f is onto: Lety e [4, oo).Then,/(x) = y=>x^ + 4= y=>x = yjy -4 [V xsR^]

And, y e [4, oo) => y - 4 > 0 => -Jy > 0 => a: = ^y -4 e R

A:-y = 0^x = y [3 (x + y) + 2 ^ 0 as X, y E R'*’]
2.60 MATHEMATICS-XII

So, / is an injection.
/ is a surjection: Let y be an arbitrary element of [- 5, oo). Then,
-i + Vy + 6
/ (x) =y => 9x^ + 6:c -5 = y => (3x +1)^ = y + 6:^ 3x + l = Jy'+ 6 => x = 3

Thus, for each y e [- 5, oo) there exists x = eR such that / (x) = y.

3.3 INVERSES OF TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS


dY

We know that trigonometric functions are periodic functions, and hence, in general, all
trigonometric functions are not bijections. Consequently, their inverses do not exist. However, if
innd
Re

we restrict their domains and co-domains, they can be made bijections and we can obtain their
inverses. In the following sections, we shall do all these things to obtain the inverses of
Fi
F

trigonometric functions.
3.3.1 INVERSE OF SINE FUNCTION

Consider the fimction /: R —> R given by f (x) = sin x. The graph of this function is shown in
Fig. 3.1. Clearly, it is a many-one into function as it attains same value at infinitely many points
and its range [-1,1] is not same as its co-domain. We know that any function can be made an
onto function, if we replace its co-domain by its range. Therefore,/: R -» [-1,1] is a many-one
onto function. In order to make / a one-one function, we will have to restrict its domain in such a
way that in that domain there is no turn in the graph of the function and the function takes every
value between -1 and 1. It is evident from the graph of / (x) = sin x that if we take the domain as
(-n/2, n/2], then/(x) becomes one-one. Thus,/: [- tt/2, jt/2] -> [-1,1] given by/(0) =sin 0

The inverse of the sine function is denoted by sin" ^ Thus, sin

Rl-MARK 1 In the above discussion, we have restricted the domain of sine function to the interval
[-tc/2, 7i/2] to make it a bijection. In fact, if we restrict its domain to any one of the intervals
dY

[-K/2,K/2],[K/2,3n/2],[3n/2,5n/2],[-3n/2,-K/2], [-5 k/2, - 3 k/2] or, in general


Re
idn

[nn - n/2, nn + n/2], neZ, then also it becomes a bijection. We can, therefore, define the inverse of the
FFin

sine function in each of these intervals. Thus, sin” ^ x is a function with domain [-1,1] and range
[-7t/2, jt/2] or [-3n/2,-n/2]or [n/2, 3 n/2]and so on. Corresponding to each such interval, we get
a branch of the function sin” ^ x. The branch of the function sin” ^: [-1,1] [- n/2, n/2] called the
principal value branch as shown in fig. 3.3 and the value xfor given value of x e [-1, l]is called the
principal value.
REMARK 2 By considering sin” ^ x as a function with domain [-1,1] and range [~nl2, n/2] or
[n/2, 3n/2] or [3n/2,5 n/2] andsoon,weget different branches. If all thesebranchesareput together
and drawn on the same scale, we obtain the graph as shown in Fig. 3.4. Clearly, this graph can be obtained
from the graph of sine function by interchanging the coordinate axes. The branch of
sin”^: [-1,1] [-n/2, n/2]is the principal value branch and the value of sm~^ x lying in [-tc/2, n/2]
for a given value ofx e [-1,1] is called the principal value.

In the above property we observe that the relations between trigonometric functions and their
inverses hold true for specific values of 0. If 0 does not lie in the domain of a trigonometric
function in which it is not a bijection, then the above relations do not hold good. For example,
sin ^(sin0) = 0 holds true for 0 6[-tc/2, rc/2]. If 0 g[-Tt/2, tc/2], what is the value of
sin ^ (sin 0)? To answer this, we partition real line into sub-intervals so that the sine function

ALGEBRA OF MATRICES

4.1 MATRIX

DEFINITION A set ofmn numbers (real or imaginary) arranged in the form of a rectangular array of m
rows and n columns is called anmxn matrix (to be read as ‘m by n' matrix).

w
An mx n matrix is usually written as

In compact form the above matrix is represented by A = [ojj]^ or, A = [Ojj].
The:lhnumbers a^u are known as the elements of the matrix A. The element fly belongs
ks

to 1 row and j column and is called the (/, element of the matrix A = [Ojj]. Thus, in the
Yo
oo

element Ojj the first subscript i always denotes the number of row and the second subscript j,
number of column in which the element occurs.
eB

Following are some examples of matrices:

NOTE It is to note here that to define a matrix we must define its order and its elements either by a general
formula (See illustration given below) or separately.
ILLUSTRATION

[CBSE 2002 C, 2013]

SOLUTION Since the corresponding elements of two equal matrices are equal. Therefore,
x-y 2X + z' -1 5 ■
=> x-y = -l, 2x+z=5, 2x-y = 0, 32 + w=13.
2x-y 3z+w 0 13

Solving the equations x - y = -1 and 2 x - y = 0 as simultaneous linear equations, we get


x=l,y = 2.
Now putting X =1 in 2x + z=5, we obtain z = 3. Substituting z = 3 in 3z + w =13, we obtain
w =4.

Thus, x=l, y = 2. z = 3 and w = 4.

2-1 4fl-6 3 2a
=> X + 3 = 0, 2y + x = -7, 2-1 = 3 and - 6 = 2a.

Solving these equations, we obtain: a = 3, x = -3, y=-2, 2 = 4.


ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES

BASED ON BASIC CONCEPTS (BASIC)

ww
EXAMPLE 1 A matrix has 12 elements. What are the possible orders it can have?
SOLUTION We know that if a matrix is of order m.xn, then it hasmn elements. Therefore, to
find all possible orders of a matrix with 12 elements, we will have to find all ordered pairs {a, b)

Flo
such that a and b are factors of 12. Clearly, all possible ordered pairs of this type are :

ee
(1,12), (12,1), (3, 4), (4, 3), (2, 6), (6, 2)

eer
Hence, possible orders of the matrix are: 1 x 12,12 x 1, 3 x 4, 4 x 3, 2 x 6 and 6x2.

If A =

PROP): (i) Since A and B are matrices of the same order t?t x n, A + B is also a matrix of order
m X n.Therefore, k(A + B) is also of order m x n. Further, kA and kB are of order m x n. Therefore,
kA + kB is also of order m x n. Thus, k{A + B) and kA + kB are matrices of the same order such

Hence, k{A + B) = kA + kB
(ii) Since k and I are scalars, cf + / is also a scalar. Therefore, (k + I) A is a matrix of order m x n.
Also, kA and lA are m x n matrices. Therefore, kA lA is also an m x n matrix.

PROOF Let A and B be two matrices such that AB exists. Then it is quite possible that BA may not

exist. Similarly, if BA exists, then AB may not exist. Further, if AB and BA both exist, then they

PROOF Let A , B -P’yJnxp andC =[qy]px^ . Then AB is an m x p matrix and so (AB) C is

whenever both sides of equality are defined.
PROOF LetA=[fl,y],„^„ , B - xp and C — ^p be three matrices. Then, B + C is of order
nx p and so A (B + C) is of order mx p. Since AB and AC both are of the same order mx p.
Therefore, AB + AC is of order mx p. Thus, A (B + C) and AB + AC are of the same order mx p
such that

representing these two parts
F

Parti Partn
i.e. A =[x 30000 - x]
Let R denote the 2x1 matrix representing the annual interest rates of interest on two parts i.e.
Parti r 0.09’
^ " Part II [0.11
The total annual interest on the two parts is given by the matrix multiplication AR.
AR = 3060
0.09
[x 30000-x] 0.11
= 3060

0.09 x +0.11 (30000-x) = 3060


9 11
X + (30000-x) = 3060 => 9x+ 330000-11 x = 306000 => x=12,000
100 100

Hence two parts of ? 30,000 are ? 12,000 and ? 18,000 respectively.

Step 1 When n = 1, by the definition of integral powers of a matrix, we have

matrix such that

(A'^)ij = aji for all i = 1,2,.. .,n;j = 1,2,...,m.


Thus, A is obtained from A by changing its rows into columns and columns into rows.

THEOREM2 For any two matrices A and B of the same Order, {A + B) -A +B .
PROOF Let A = [Oij]„ x„ and B = x« . Then, A + B will be a matrix of the order m x m and
so

(A + B)^ will be a matrix of order n x m. Since A^ and B^ are both n x m matrices. Therefore,

PROOF Let A = [a-; ] be an m x n matrix. Then, for any scalar k, kA is also an w x n matrix and so
(fcA)^ is ann X m matrix. Again A ^ is ann x m matrix and so cfA^ is ann x m matrix. Thus, the two

5.1.5 DETERMINANT OF A SQUARE MATRIX OF ORDER 4 OR MORE


To evaluate the determinant of a square matrix of order 4 or more we follow the same procedure
as discussed in evaluating the determinant of a square matrix of order 3.
For example.
1 2-13
2 1-2 3
A =
3 1 2 1
1-1 0 2
1 -2 3 2-2 3 2 1 3
1+ 1 1+2
A = (-1) (1) 1 2 1 +(-l) (2) 3 2 1 +(-l)
1+ 3
(-1) 3 1 1
-1 0 2 1 0 2 1 -1 2
2 1-2
+ {-l)^-"^(3) 3 1 2
1 -1 0
A = 1(16)-2 (12)+ (-!)(-11)-3 (14)= -39.
DETERMINANTS 5.5

REMARK It is evident from the above discussion tiuit every square matrix A = [Ojj] of order n can be
associated to a number (real or complex) or an expression which is called determinant of the square matrix
A. Thus, determinant may be thought as a function from the set M of all square matrices to the set of all
numbers (real or complex).
5.2 SINGULAR MATRIX

non-singular matrix.

5.3 MINORS AND COFACTOR

MINOR Let A =[Ojj] be a square matrix of order n. The minor Mq ofaq in A is the determinant of the
square sub-matrix of order (n -1) obtained by leaving i^^ row and column of A.

For example, if A = -3 2 / then

COFACTOR LetA= [Ojj] be a square matrix of order n. The cofactor ofaq in A is equal to (-1)' i
times the determinant of the sub-matrix of order (n-1) obtained by leaving i;th row and column of A.
It follows from this definition that

ww
Cjj = Cofactor of a^j in A= (~ 1)* i A^y, where M^y is minor of fly- in A.

5.5 EVALUATION OF DETERMINANTS
If A is a square matrix of order 2, then its determinant can be easily found. But, to evaluate
determinants of square matrices of higher orders, we should always try to introduce zeros at
maximum number of places in a particular row (column) by using the properties given in
section 5.4 and then we should expand the determinant along that row (column).

ww
We shall be using the following notations to evaluate a determinant:
(i) Rj to denote i* row.
;th
(ii) Rj Rj to denote the interchange of i* and j rows.

Flo
;th
row to the
(iii) Ri Ri +X Rj to denote the addition of X times the elements of j

e
corresponding elements of row.

eree
(iv) R,- (X) to denote the multiplication of all elements of row by

FFr
Similar notations are used to denote column operations if R is replaced by C.

Type III EVALUATION OF DETERMINANTS BY USING FACTOR HEOREM

If / (x) is a polynomial such that / (a) = 0, then (.r - a) is a factor of / (x).


For example, -6 +11 :r - 6 vanishes for x = l. Therefore, (x -1) is its factor.
Thus, if a determinant is a polynomial in x such that its value is zero for x = a, then x - fl is a
factor of A.

SOLUTION If we put ^7 =fj in A, we find that its two columns C\ and C2 become identical.
Therefore, A becomes zero and thus a-bis a factor of A. Similarly b - c and c - a are factors of A.
The product of principal diagonal terms is bc^ which is a third degree expression. Therefore, A is
of third degree. Since -b,b - cand c - a are factors of A. Therefore, (fl -b) {b - c) (c - a)isa third
degree factor of A. Thus, there cannot be any other factor of A in terms of a, b and c. The only other
factor of A can be a constant, say X.

following algorithm.
ALGORITHM

Step I Obtain the system of equations and compute D i.e. the determinant of the coefficient matrix.
Step n IfD ^ 0, then the system has only the trivial solution i.e. x = y=z = 0.So,x = 0=y=zis the
only solution of the given system.
Step III IfD = 0, then take any two out of three equations and replace one of the variables z (say) by k.
Solve the system so obtained by Cramer's rule. The solution so obtained with z = k gives a
solution of the given system.

ww
REMARK It is evident from the above discussion that a homogeneous system of equations will have
non-trivialsolution iff\D\-0.

So, the system has infinitely many solutions. Consider the first two equations. Putting 2 = ^: in
first two equations, we get
X + y = cf

6.4 ELEMENTARY TRANSFORMATIONS OR ELEMENTARY OPERATIONS OF A MATRIX

The following three operations applied on the rows (columns) of a matrix are called elementary
row (column) transformations.
(i) Interchange of any tiuo rows (columns)
If row (column) of a matrix is interchanged with the row (column), it will be denoted by
Rj ++ Rj (Cj ++Cy).

For example, 2l = -1 2 1 , then by applying K2 ^-^3 B = 3 2 4


3 2 4 -12 1
6.28 MATHEMATICS-Xll

(ii) Multiplying all elements of a row (column) of a matrix by a non-zero scalar


If the elements of row (column) are multiplied by a non-zero scalar k, it will be denoted by
R,- ^ R,- (fc) [q q (k)] or Ri ^ kRi [Q ^ kq]
■ 3 2 -1] 3 2 -1

A= 0 1 2 , then by applying R2 3R2, we obtain: B = 0 3 6


-1 2 -3 -1 2 -3

(iii)Adding to the elements of a row (column), the corresponding elements of any other row (column)
multiplied by any scalar k.

oww
If k times the elements of row (column) are added to the corresponding elements of the
row (column), it will be denoted by R,- Rj + k Rj (Q -> Q + Cy).

If the system of equations has one or more solutions, then it is said to be a
consistent system of equations, otherwise it is an inconsistent system of equations.
For example, the system of linear equations
7.2 MATHEMATICS-XM

2x + 3y = 5
4-t + 61/ = 10
is consistent, because x = \,y =1 and :c = 2, y = 1/3 are solutions of it.
However, the system of linear equations
2x + 3y = 5
4x + 6y = 9
is inconsistent, because there is no set of values of x, y which satisfy the two equations
simultaneously.
HOMOGENEOUS AND NON-HOMOGENEOUS SYSTEMS A system of equations AX = B is called a
homogeneous system ifB = 0. Otherwise, it is called a non-homogeneous system of equations.

ww
For example, the system of equations
2x + 3y = 0
3x-y = 0

Flo
is a homogeneous system of linear equations whereas the system of equations given by

e
2x + 3y = 1

3x-y = 5

is a non-homogeneous system of linear equatioruj.

7.2 MATRIX METHOD FOR THE SOLUTION OF A NON-HOMOGENEOUS SYSTEM

orr
In the previous section, we have seen that a system of simultaneous linear equations can be
sfo
expressed as a matrix equation. In tliis section, we shall discuss about a method for solving a
system of non-homogenous simultaneous linear equations in which the number of unknowns is
kks
Yoo

same as the number of equations. In this method, we will use the inverse of the coefficient
oooo

matrix. So, it is also known as matrix method.

THEOREM 1
If A is ^ non-singular matrix, then the system of equations given by AX = Bhas the unique
solution given byX = A~ ^B.
urr

PROOF We have, AX = B, where | A | 0. Since | A | 0, therefore A exists.

Pre-multiplying both sides of AX = B by A~ ^ we get


A“ ^ (AX) = A" => (A“ ^A) X = A" % => /X = A” ^B => X = A”
dd

Re

Thus, the system of equations AX = B has a solution


inn

Uniqueness: If possible, let Xj and X2 be two solutions of AX = B. Then,


F

AXi = B and AX2 = B


^ AXi = AX2
A” ^AXi) = A” ^ (AX2) ^ (A” ^ A) Xi = (A” ^ A) X2 => IX^ = IX2 => X^ = X2.
Hence, the given system of equations has the unique solution given by X = A” ‘B.
Q.E.D.
In the above theorem, we have proved that a non-homogenous system AX = B of« simultaneous
linear equations with M-unknowns has the unique solution given by X=A“^B, if A is a
non-singular matrix. Now, a natural question arises, what happens when A is a singular matrix?
In order to answer this, let us consider the following system of equations:
2x + y = 3
4x + 2y = 6
This system of equations can be written in matrix form as

, , or AX = B where A - 4
o 2
,X = ^yj and B= f
■" [6.
Clearly, | A | = 0. Also, the system of equations has infinitely many solutions as the two
equations represent coincident lines in xy-plane.
Now, consider the following system of equations:
2x + y = 3
4a: + 2y =5
For this system of equations also the determinant of the coefficient matrix A is zero i.e. A is a
singular matrix. But, the system has no solution i.e. it is an inconsistent system of equations, as
the lines represented by the two equations are non-coincident parallel lines.
It follows from the above discussion that the system of equations AX = B may be incor\sistent

ww
or it may be consistent with infinitely many solutions when the coefficient matrix A is singular.
We now state and prove the following criterion for the consistency or inconsistency of a
non-homogenous system of linear equations.

Flo
THEOREM 2 {Criterion of consistenci/) Let AX = B be a system of n-Hnear equations in n unknowns.

e
(i) If\A\ 0, then the system is consistent and has the unique solution given by X = A~'^B.

reree
(ii) If\A\ = 0 and{adj A) B = O,thenthesystemisconsistentandhasi nfinitelymany solutions.

r FF
(hi) If \A\ =0 and {adj A) B * O, then the system is inconsistent.

PROOF(i) See Theorem 1

(ii) We have.
AX = B, where | A = 0.

=> {adj A) {AX) = {adj A) B


ooook

=> {{adjA)A)X = {adjA)B


eBB

=> (|A17„)X = {adjA)B [V (adj A) A = |A|I„1


=> I ^ IX = {adj A) B
If I AI = 0 and {adj A) B =0, then | A | X = {adj A) B is true for every value of X.
uurr
ad

So, the system of equations AX = B is consistent and it has infinitely many solutions,
Yo

(iu) If I AI =0and((jrf/ A)B then the equation | A | X ={adj A) B is not true because its LHS is
dY

always a null matrix whereas the RHS is non-null matrix. So, the system is inconsistent.
Q.E.D.
Re

The above discussion suggests the following algorithm to solve a system of simultaneous linear
FFi

equations.
ALGORITHM

Step I Obtain the system of equations and express it in the matrix equation from AX = B.
Step II Find I A |.
Step III If\A\^0, then the given system of equations is consistent with unique solution. To obtain the
solution compute A~ ^ by using A~ ^ — adj A and use the formula X = A ^ B.
A

Step IV If \ A\=0, then the given system of equations is either inconsistent or it has infinitely many
solutions. To distinguish these two proceed as follows:
Compute {adj A) B.
If {adj A) B=aO, then the given system of equations is inconsistent i.e. it has no solution.
If {adj A) B =0, then the given system of equations is consistent xvith infinitely many
solutions.
7,4 MATHEMATICS-XII

In order to find these infinitely many solutions, replace one of the variables by some real
number. This will reduce the number of variables by one. Now, take any two out of the three
equations and solve them by matrix method.
Following examples will illustrate the above algorithm.

7.3 SOLUTION OF HOMOGENEOUS SYSTEM OF LINEAR EQUATIONS
In chapter 6, we have learnt about determinant method to solve a homogeneous system of linear
equations. In this section, we shall discuss matrix method to solve the same.
Let AX = O be a homogeneous system of n linear equations with n unknowns.
Let us now discuss two cases:

Case I When | A | 0 i.e. matrix A is non-singular.


If|A| ^ 0, then A'^ exists.
7.18 MATHEMATICS-XH

AX = O

A"^(AX) = A~'^0
{A-^A)X = O ^ = O ^X = O
=^2 =■■■ =% = 0
Thus, if the coefficient matrix A is a non-singular, then the homogeneous system of equations
has the unique solutionX = O i.e. - X2 = ... = x,, =0.
Tliis solution is known as the trivial solution.

Case II When | A j = 0 i.e. matrix A singular.


If I A I = 0, then {adj A) B= (adj A) 0=0
i.e. the condition of consistency is always satisfied. So, the given system of equations is
consistent and it has infinitely many solutions which can be obtained by giving any real value to

ww
one of the variables and then solving the remaining equations by matrix method.
In order to solve a homogeneous system of the three linear equations with 3 unknowns x, y, z,
we may use the following algorithm.

function / (x) shown in Fig. 8.1. It is evident from the graph that / (x) is not defined &tx = a.

For x>0,f{x)=l, being a constant function, is continuous. So, a: = 0 is the only point of possible

Now, lim f{x)= lim (1-2a)=1 and lim f{x)= lim 1=1

MEANING OF DIFFERENTIABILITY AT A POINT As we have Seen in the chapter on continuity of a
function that if a function f{x) is continuous at a point x=a (say), then its graph is an unbroken
curve at {a, f{a)) and there are no holes and jumps in the graph of the function in the
neighbourhood of point x =a. Now, a natural question arises: What do we mean when we say
that a function f{x) is differentiable at a point x = c? In the following discussion we shall try to
answer this question.
9.2 MATHEMATICS-Xil

Consider the functidn f{x) defined on an open interval {a, b). Let P {c, /(c)) be a point on the
curve y =f (x), and let Q(c-h, /(c -h)), and R{c + h, f{c + h)) be two neighbouring points on
the left and right hand side respectively of point P as shown in Fig. 9.1. Then,

Slope of chord PQ = -h }/=A=‘)
IR {c + h,f(c+h))
f{c + h)-f{c)
and. Slope of chord PR = h
yp{c.m
We know that tangent to a curve at a point P (say) is the
limiting position of chord PQ when Q tends to P. Therefore, Q(c-h//(c-h)) X
■>
as /i -> 0 points Q and R both tend to P from left hand and ^ CT

right hand sides respectively. Consequently, chords PQ and Fig. 9.1


PR become tangent(s) at point P.

Thus, lim = lim (Slope of chord PQ)

idnY
Re

o There is a unique tangent at point P.


FFin

Thus, fix) is differentiable at point P, iff there exists a unicjue tangent at point P. In other words, f{x) is
differentiable at a pofnt P iff the curve does not have P as a comer point. Ya

Consider the function fix) = | x |. This function is not differentiable at .y = -x

X = 0, because if we draw tangent at the origin as the limiting


position of the chords on the left hand side of the origin, it is the line >
y = -x whereas the tangent at the origin as the limiting position of ^ 0 X

the chords on the right hand side of the origin is the line y = x.
Mathematically, left hand derivative at the origin is -1 (slope of the
line y = - x) and the right hand derivative at the origin is 1 (slope of V'

Fig. 9.2
the line y = x).
Let/(x) be a differentiable function at a point P. Then the curve y = fix) has a unique tangent at
P. Since tangent at P is the limiting position of the chord PQ when Q -> P. So, if fix) is
DIFFERENTIABILITY 9.3

differentiable at a point P, then chords exist on both sides of point P. This r^eans that the curve
exists on both sides of P. Consequently/(x) is continuous at P. r
It follows from the above discussion that, if a function is not differentiable at x = c, then either it
has (c, /(c)) as a comer point or it is discontinuous at x -- c.
Also, ever} differentiable function is continuous as proved below.
THEOREM If a function is differentiable at a point, it is necessarily continuous at that point. But, the
converse is not necessarily true.

10.1 INTRODUCTION

In the previous chapter, we have learnt about differentiability of a function at a point. The same

ww
was extended to the domain of a function. In case, a
function is differentiable at every point of its
domain, then each point in its domain can be associated to the derivative of the function at that
point. Such a correspondence between points in the domain and the set of values of derivatives

Flo
at those points defines a new function which is known as the derivative or differentiation of the
given function. In the previous class, we have studied that the derivative of a function f{x) is

ee
given by

rere
fjx + h)-f{x) d ( f{x-h)-f{x)

r FF
d (c , \
-r f (^') = lim
h
or. —

/ (a:) = ,lim -h
dx /f->0
uurr
This is also called the derivative or differentiation
foor
with respect to x and is also denoted by/' (x)
or, Df{x). Sometime the derivative or differentiation of a fimction/(x) is also called the
ks s

differential coefficient of / (x). The process of finding the derivative of a function by using the
Yoo

above definition is called the differentiation from first principles or by flfc-initio method or by
ooook

delta method.

10.2 RECAPITULATION

In the previous class, we have learnt about the following fundamental rules for differentiation,
(i) Differentiation of a constant functions zero i.e. , ,-W = o

(ii) Let / (x) be a differentiable function and let c be a constant. Then, c f (x) is also
differentiable such that

4-

10.2 MATHEMATICS-Xli

i.e. the derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the
function,

(iii) Product rule: If / (x) and g (a:) are differentiable functions, then / (x) g (x) is also
differentiable function such that

^
dx \f{x)g(x)]=~(f
dx\ {x)]g{x)+fix).-^(g
J dx\ (x)
If / (x), g (x) and h (x) are differentiable functions, then
d (

10.5 DIFFERENTIATION BY USING TRIGONOMETRICAL SUBSTITUTIONS

Sometimes, it becomes very easy to differentiate a function by using trigonometrical


transformations. Usually this is done in case of inverse trigonometrical functions. Some
important results on trigonometrical and inverse trigonometrical functions are given below for
ready reference,

10.7 DIFFERENTIATION OF IMPLICIT FUNCTIONS

Fre
Up till now we have discussed derivatives of functions of the form y = / (x). If the variables x and

rrF
y are connected by a relation of the form/ (x, y) = 0 and it is not possible or convenient to express
y as a function x in the form y = (j> (x), then y is said to be an implicit function of x. To find in
ouur
sffoo
such a case, we differentiate both sides of the given relation with respect to x, keeping in mind
okks

that the derivative of 4>(y) with respect to x is — ● —.

10.10 DIFFERENTIATION OF PARAMETRIC FUNCTIONS


Sometimes x and y are given as functions of a single variable e.g. x = (j)(f), y = v|/ (f) are two
functions of a single variable. In such a case x and y are called parametric functions or parametric
equations and t is called the parameter. To find —
dx
in case of parametric functions, we first obtain
the relationship between x and y by eliminating the parameter t and then we differentiate it with
respect to x. But, it is not always convenient to eliminate the parameter. Therefore, — can also be
dx
obtained by the following formula
dy _ dy/dt
dx dx/dt

In order to prove this, let A x and A y be the changes in x and y respectively corresponding to a

ww
small change A f in t. Then,

10.11 DIFFERENTIATION OF A FUNCTION WITH RESPECT TO ANOTHER FUNCTION


ouur
ad

So far we have discussed derivative of one variable, say, y with respect to other variable, say, x.
Yo

In this section, we will discuss derivative of a function with respect to another function.
Let u=f(x) and z; = g (:c) be two functions of x. Then, to find the derivative of / ( a:) with respect to
d
idnY
Re

du
g- (x) i.e., to find dv
we use the following formula
FFin

du du/dx
dv dv/dx

Thus, to find the derivative of/(a:) with respect to ^(x), we first differentiate both with respect
to a: and then divide the derivative of f (x) with respect to a: by the derivative of g (a:) with
respect to x.
Following examples will illustrate the procedure.

Let y =^{x) be a function of x. Let Ay be the change in y corresponding to a sma^l change Ax in x.
Then, represents the change in y due to a unit change in x. In other words, ^ represents the

As A X -> 0, the limiting value of this average rate of change of y with respect to x in the interval

12.2 RELATED RATES

Generally we come across with the problems in which the rate of change of one of the quantities
involved is required corresponding to the given rate of change of another quantity. For example,
suppose the rate of change of volume of a spherical balloon is required when the rate of change
of its radius is given. In such type of problems, we must find a relation connecting such
quantities and differentiate this relation w.r. to time. The procedure is illustrated in the
follo'wing examples.

ALGEBRAIC INTERPRETATION OF ROLLE’S THEOREM Let/(x) be a polynomial with a and b as its

roots. Since a polynomial function is everywhere continuous and differentiable and a and b are
roots of f(x), therefore f(a) =f{b) =0. So, f(x) satisfies conditions of Rolle's theorem.

a root of /' (x). Thus, algebraically Rolle's theorem can be interpreted as follows:
Fi

Betxveen any two roots of a polynomial /(x), there is alxvays a root of its derivative f' (x).
REMARK On Rolle's theorem generally two types of problems are formulated.
(a) To check the applicability of Rolle's theorem to a given function on a given interval,
(b) To verify Rolle's theorem for a given function on a given interval. In both types of problems we first
check whether /(x) satisfies conditions of Rolle's theorem or not. The folloxving results are very
helpful in doing so.
(i) A polynomial functioxi is everywhere continuous and differentiable.
(ii) The exponential function, sine and cosine functions are every xvhere continuous and
differentiable.
(iii) Logarithmic function is continuous and differentiable in its domain.
(iv) tan X is not continuous at x = ± n/l, ± 3ti/2, ± 5tc/2...
(v) I XI is not differentiable at x = 0.
(vi) Iff '(x) tends tot <x>as x -> k, then /(x) is not differentiable at x = k.

/(x) = sin X is continuous on [0, n] and differentiable on (0, k). We also find that

Since c = tt/2 € (0, k) such that/ '(c) = 0. Hence, Rolle's theorem is verified,

Also,/(0) =sin 0 + cos 0-1 =0 and /(7c/2) = sin jt/2 + cos ;c/2-1 =1-1 =0. Therefore,
f(0) =f(n/2). Thus, f{x) satisfies conditions of Rolle's theorem on [0, tc/2] . Therefore, there
exists c e (0, tc/2) such that/ '(c) = 0.
Now, f{x) = sin a: + cos x-1 => f '(x) = cos x - sin x
/ '(x) = 0 => cos X - sin X = 0 => sin X = cos X => tan x = 1 => x = ji/4
Clearly, c=n/4 e(0, n/2) such that/'(c) =0. Hence, Rolle's theorem is verified,

Now, /(x) =sin x-sin 2x => /'(x) = cos x-2 cos 2x

SLOPE (GRADIENT) OF A LINE The trigonometrical tangent of the angle that a line makes with the

The slope of a line is generally denoted by m. A Y

Thus, m = tan 0, where 0 is the angle which a line makes with the
positive direction of :r-axis in anticlockwise sense.

Since a line parallel to x-axis makes an angle of 0® with x-axis. ^

FFr
o
Therefore, its slope is tan 0° = 0. X' X

A line perpendicular to x-axis or parallel to y-axis makes an angle of


for
ur
90° with x-axis, so its slope is tan ti/2 = oo.

Also, the slope of a line equally inclined with axes is +1 or, -1 as

Angle between two lines: The angle 0 between two lines having slopes and m2 is given by

Condition of parallelism: If the lines are parallel, then 0 = 0°.
ni2 -mi
tan 0 - tan 0 = 0^ = 0 ^ m2 = mi
1 + mi m2
Thus, when two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal.
Condition of perpendicularity: If two lines of slopes mi and m2 are perpendicular, then
mi m2 =-l.
15.2 MATHEMATICS-XII

Thus, when two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1. If m is the slope of a
line, then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is .

SOLUTION
Let the point of contact of one of the tangents be (x^, yf). Then, (xj, yj) lies on
y = cos (x + y)
yi = cos (xi + yi)
Since the tangents are parallel to the line x + 2y = 0. Therefore,
Slope of the tangent at (Xj, yf) = (Slope of the line x + 2y = 0

The equation of the curve is y = cos (x + y).

16.1 INTRODUCTION
In this chapter, we shall study monotonicity of functions. A function / (j:) is said to be a mono-
tonically increasing function on [a, b], if the values of / (:c) increase or decrease with the increase

ww
or decrease in x. If the values of / (a:) decrease with the increase in the values of x, then / (a:) is
said to be a monotonically decreasing function. The monotonicity of functions in [a, b] is
strongly connected to the sign of its derivative in [a, . The relation between the two will be
discused in section 16.4. In determining the intervals of monotonicity of a function in its domain,

Flo
we shall be solving the inequations f (x) >0 and f'{x)< 0. So, we shall first discuss the

the following algorithm.

ALGORITHM
dY

Step I Factorize P (a:) and Q (a:) into linear factors.


Re

Step n Make coefficient ofx positive in all factors.


innd

Step ni Equate all the factors to zero and find the corresponding values ofx. These values are generally
FFi

known as critical points.


Step rv Plot the critical points on the number line. Note that n critical points will divide the number line
in {n +1) regions.
Step V In the right most region, the expression will be positive and in other regions it will be
alternatively negative and positive. So, mark positive sign in the right most region and than
mark alternatively negative and positive signs in the remaining regions.
Step VI Obtain the solution set of the given inequation by selecting the appropriate regions in step V.
Following illustrations will illustrate the above algorithm.
ILLUSTRATION 1 Solve: Ax^ - 24 x^ + 44x - 24 > 0.
SOLUTION We have,

=> (a:-1)(x^ -5x + 6) >0 => (x-1) (a: - 2) (x - 3) > 0 -.(i)
16.2 MATHEMATICS-Xll

On equating all factors, on LHS of the inequation, to zero, we obtain x=l,2, 3 as critical points.
Let us plot these critical points on the number line as shown in Fig. 16.1. These points divide the
number line into four regions. In the right most region the expression on LHS of (i) bears
positive sign and then alternatively negative and positive signs as marked in Fig, 16.1. Since the
expression in (i) is positive. Therefore, solution set of inequation (i) is the union of the regions
marked with + signs. Hence from Fig. 16.1, we obtain (1, 2) u(3, oo) as the solution set.
i.e.
x^-6x^+llx-6>0 => (x-l)(x-2)(x-3)>0 ^ xe(1,2) u(3,oo).
Hence, the solution set of the given inequality is (1, 2) u (3, oo).

In the previous chapters, we have learnt about various applications of differentiation. In this
chapter, we will use differentiation to find the maximum and minimum values of differentiable

functions in their domains. In the end of the chapter, we will discuss applications of maxima and
minima in solving some applied problems.

17.2 MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM VALUES OF A FUNCTION IN ITS DOMAIN

MAXIMUM Let f (x) be a real function defined on an interval [a, b]. Then, /(x) is said to have the
maximum value in \a, b], if there exists a point c in [a, b] such that f (x) < f{c) for all x e {a, h].

reFe
In such a case, the number /(c) is called the maximum value of/(:e) in the interval [a, b] and the

point c is called a point of maximum value of / in the A y

It follows from this expression that/ (1) = 10 is the maximum value of function/ and the point of

value in interval [a, b], if there exists a point c e {a, b]such that f (x) >/ (c) for all x e [a, b].

not attain the minimum value, because -(x-1) +10 can be


made as small as we please, which is also evident from the graph (Fig. 17.2). The function
/(x) = x^ +5 attains the minimum value 5 at x = 0, but it does not attain the maximum value at

any point in its domain. In fact, / (x) can be made as large as we please. From the graph of / (x)

the maximum value.

Re

Let us now consider the function / (x) = sin x defined on the interval [0,2 tt] .
in

Clearly, -1 < sin x < 1 for all x e [0, 2 7t]. So, -1 5/ (x) < 1 for all x e [0, 2tc].
F

Also, / - =1 and / — = -l.

Thus, / (x) attains both the maximum value 1 and the


minimumvalue -1 in the interval [0, 2 ti] . Points x = Jt/2
and X = 3n/2 are respectively the points of maximum and
minimum values of / in the interval [0, 2 x]. This is also
evident from the graph of / (x) as shown in Fig. 17.5. Fig. 17.5 Graphof/(x) = siny,0 SxS2n
Now, consider the function/ given by / (x) = x^defined on
(- 2, 2). Clearly, it is an increasing function in the given interval. So, it should have the minimum
value at a point closest to - 2 on its right and the maximum value at a point closest to 2 on the left.
In fact, it is not possible to locate such points as shown in Fig. 17.6. Therefore, / (x) = x^ has
neither the maximum value nor the minimum value in the interval (- 2,2).

17.3 LOCAL MAXIMA AND LOCAL MINIMA


In the previous section, we have discussed about the greatest (maximum) and the least
(minimum) values of a function in its domain. But, there may be points in the domain of a
function where the function does not attain the greatest (or the least) value but the values at
these points are greater than or less than the values of the function at the neighbouring points.
Such points are known as the points of local minimum or local maximum and we will be mainly
discussing about the local maximum and local minimum values of a function.
LOCAL MAXIMUM ^ function fix) is said to attain a local maximum at x^= a if there exists a
neighbourhood ia-3,a + S) of a such that
fix) < fid) for all X eia-d,a + S), x¥= a.
17.6 MATHEMATICS-XII

or, f{x)~f{a) < Qfor all X s{a-8, a -i- S), x*a.


In such a case, f{a) is called the local maximum value of f{x) atx =a.
LOCAL MINIMUM A function f{x) is said to attain a local minimum at x = a if there exists a
neighbourhood {a ~b,a + of a such that
f{x) > f{a) for all x e{a - b, a + S), x ^ a
or, f{x) -f{a) >0for all x e{a ~ b, a + S), x ^ a.
The value of the function atx = a i.e. f{a) is called the local minimum value of f{x) at x = a.
The points at which a function attains either the local maximum values or local minimum values
are known as the extreme points or turning points and both local maximum and local minimum
values are called the extreme values of f{x). Thus, a function AY

attains an extreme value at x = a if /(a) is either a local maximum

loow w
value or a local minimum value. Consequently, at an extreme
point 'a', fix) - /(a) keeps the same sign for all values of x in a
deleted neighbourhood of a.
In Fig. 17.12 we observe that the x-coordinates of the points A, C

ree
and £ are points of local maximum and the values at these points X

i.e. their y-coordinates are the local maximum values of /(x). The o

NOTE By A local maximum (or local minimum) value of a function at a point x = a, we mean the greatest
ks
(or the least) value in the neighbourhood of point x = a and not the maximum (or the mmimum) in the
domain of the function. In fact a function may have any number of points of local maximum (or local
soo

minimum) and even a local minimum value may be greater than a local maximum value. In Fig. 17.12 the
YYouor

minimum value at D is greater than the maximum value at A. Thus, a local maximum value may not be
BBook

the greatest value and a local minimum value may not be the least value of the function in its domain.

It follows from the above definition that if a is a point of local maximum of a function/, then in
ouru

the neighbourhood of a the graph of / should be as shown in Fig. 17.13. Clearly, / (x) is

Similarly, if a is a point of local minimum of a function /, then in the neighbourhood of a the
graph of / should be as shown in Fig. 17.14. Here, we observe that/ (x) is decreasing in the left

/'(a:) <0 forx e(fl-6, (?) and,/’(.r) >0 for :x: e(fl, fl+6).
This also suggests that /' {ci) must be zero.
In view of the above discussion we state the following theorem (without proof) which is known
as the necessary condition for points of local maximum or minimum.
THEOREM Anecessary condition for ^a) to be an extreme value of a function f(x) is that f' (a) = 0,
in case it exists.

REMARK 1 This result states that if the derivative exists, it must be zero at the extreme points. A
function may however attain an extreme value at a point without being derivable thereat. For example, the
function f{x) - \ x\ attains the minimum value at the origin even though it is not derivable at x = 0.

not sufficient i.e., f'{a)=0 does not necessarily imply that x-ais an extreme point. There are functions

for which the derivatives vanish at a point but do not have an extreme value thereat. For example,
oo

for the function f{x) = x^, we have /' (0) = 0 but at x = 0 the functiondoes not attainane.xtreme value

(See Fig. 17.16). In fact on the left of point x = 0, the curve is concave down and on its right the cwve is
concave up. That is, the concavity off{x) changes x as increases through O. Such points are called points of
ur

inflection. If x = c is a point of inflection of a function f{x), then f"{c) = 0and f" (x) change its sign as x
ad

increases through 'c'.

REMARK 3 Geometrically the above condition means that the tangent to the curve y = f{x) at a point
where the ordinate is maximum or minimum is parallel to the x-axis.

17.4 FIRST DERIVATIVE TEST FOR LOCAL MAXIMA AND MINIMA
In the previous section, we have seen that an extreme point (point of local maximum or
minimum) the derivative of the function either does not exist or in case it exists, it must be zero.
We have also seen that if a is a point of local maximum value of a function /, then there exists a
neighbourhood (r? - 6, n + 8) of r? such that
/' (x) > 0 for all X e (fl - 5, fl) [See Fig. 17.13]
and. /' (x) <0 for all X € (fl , fl + 5).
In case, a is a point of local minimum value of function /, then there exists a neighbourhood
(ii - 6, ^ of such that
/' (x) <0 for all X 6 (fl - 5, a)
and. f (x) >0 for all X 6 (fl, + 5) [See Fig. 17.14]
17.8 MATHEMATtCS-XII

In the light of these observations, we state the following theorem (without proof) for finding the
points of local maxima or local minima.
THEOREM 1 (First derivative test) Let f be a differentiable function defined on an interval I and let a el.
Then,

(a) x = a is a point of local maximum value of f, if


(i) /' («)=0
and, (ii) /' (a:) changes sign from positive to negative as x increases through a
i.e.f (a:) > Oat every point sufficiently close to and to the left ofa,andf'{x) < Oat every point sufficiently

ooww
close to and to the right of a.
(b) x^aisa point of local minimum value of f, if
(i) /' {a) = 0
and, (ii) f'(x) changes sign from negative to positive as x increases through a

e
ree
i.e. f (a:) <0at every point sufficiently close to and to the left of a, and f (a:) >0at every point sufficiently

rFl
close to and to the right of a.

Fre
rrF
(c) If f (fl) = 0 and f (a:) does not change sign as increases through a, that is, f (a:) has the same sign in
the complete neighbourhood of a, then a is neither a point of local maximum value nor a point of local
ouur
sffoo
minimum value. In fact, such a point is called a point of inflexion.
The above theorem suggests the following algorithm to find the points to local maxima or local
okks

minima of differentiable functions.

Similarly, we may deal with other values ofx.

17.5 HIGHER ORDER DERIVATIVE TEST


eBB

As we have seen in the previous section that finding the local maximum or local minimum by
first derivative test is very time consuming and of course tedious for beginners because it is
uurr

slightly difficult to determine the change in the sign of / '(x) as x increases through the points
ad

given by/' (x) = 0. We have another test known as the Higher order derivative test which enables
Yo

us to find the points of local maxima or local minima more easily and more quickly.
THEOREM (Higher Order Derivative Test) Let f be a differentiable function defined on an interval I and
dY
Re

let c be an interior point of I such that


nind

^ (c) = Oand, (ii) f ” (c) exists and is non-zero.


n -
(i) /'(c) =/”(c)=/'"(c) =...=/
FFi

Then,
ifn is even and f ” (c) < 0 => x = cisa point of local maximum
ifn is even and f ” (c) > 0 => x = cisa point of local minimum
ifnis odd, x = c is neither a point of local maximum nor a point of local minimum.
This theorem suggests the following algorithm to find the points of local maximum and local
minimum.

ALGORITHM

Step I Findf'(x)
Step II Putf'(x) =0 and solve this equation for X. Let cj ,c„ be the roots of this equation. Points
C] ,C2,...,c„ are stationary values or critical points of f(x) and these are the possible points
where the function can attain a local maximum or a local minimum. So, we test the function at
each one of these points.
17.16 MATHEMATICS-XIl

Step III Find f " (x). Consider x = Cj.


0, then x = cj is a point of local maximum.
If f"(cj)>0. then x = ci is a point of local minimum.
If fief) = 0, we must find f"'(x) and substitute in it cj for x.
Iff"'(ci) ^ 0,thenx- cj is neither a point of local maximum nor a point of local minimum and
is called the point of inflection.
Iff '"(cj) = 0, we must find fl^ (x) and substitute in it Cj for x.
If f (cj) < 0, then x = cj is a point of local maximum and if f (c^) > 0, then x = Cj is a
point of local minimum.
Iff^^{c{) =0, we must find f ^ {x),and so on. Similarly, the points may be tested.
POINT OF INFLECTION An arc of a curve y=f{x) is called concave upward if, at each of its points, the arc
lies above the tangent at the point (see Fig. 17.26).

If y =f{x) is a concave upward curve, then as x increases, / '(x) either is of the same sign and

increasing (see Fig. 17.26) or changes sign from negative to positive (see Fig. 17.27). In either case
f'{x) is increasing and so/"(x) >0.Thus, for a concave upward curve f"(x) > 0.

ooo

An arc of a curve y = /(x) is called concave downward if, at each of its points, the arc lies below the
eB

tangent at the point.


If an arc of a curve y =/(x) is concave downward, then as x increases,/'(x) either is of the same
sign and decreasing (see Fig. 17.28) or changes sign from positive to negative (see Fig. 17.29). In

MAXIMA AND MINIMA 17.17

A curve y =‘f{x) has one of its points a: = c as an inflection point, if


(i) f " (c) = 0 or is not defined and
(ii) f "{x) changes sign as x increases through x = c.
The later condition may be replaced by/'"(c) ^ 0 when/"'(c) exists.
Thus, x = cisa point of inflection if f "(c) = 0andf"'(c) ^ 0.
PROPERTIES OF MAXIMA AND MINIMA

(i) If f(x) is continuous function in its domain, then at least one maximum or one minimum
must lie between two equal values of f(x).
(ii) Maxima and Minima occur alternately, that is, between two maxima there is one
minimum and vice-versa,

(iii) If f(x) 00 as X fl or b and f'(x) = 0 only for one value of x (say c) between a and b, then

ww
/(c) is necessarily the minimum and the least value.
If f(x) as x a OT b, then/(c) is necessarily the maximum and the greatest value.

Thus, X = 0, X = - 3 and x = - 5 are the possible points of local maxima or minima.

Thus, x = l and a: = 6 are the possible points of local maxima or minima.


Now, we test the function at each of these points.
We have, f"{x) = 12x-42.
Atx = 1: We have, / "(1) = 12 - 42 = - 30 < 0.
So, X = 1 is a point of local maximum. The local maximum value is /(I) = 2 - 21 + 36 - 20 = - 3.
Atx = 6: Wehave, /"(6) =12(6)-42 = 30 > 0

17.6 MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM VALUES IN A CLOSED INTERVAL


YYouro

Let y =/(a) be a function defined on b]. By a local maximum (or local minimum) value of a
function at a point c e [., b] we mean the greatest (or the least) value in the immediate
BBook

neighbourhood of a = c. It does not mean the greatest or the maximum (or the least or the
r ee

minimum) of/(a) in the interval b]. A function may have a number of local maxima or local
minima in a given interval and even a local minimum may be Y A
ouru

greater than a local maximum.

Thus, a local maximum value may not be the greatest (the


maximum) value and a local minimum value may not be the
least (the minimum) value of the function in any given interval

absolute maximum (absolute minimum) at stationary points Fig. 17.31
(points where /' (a) = 0) or at the end points of the interval
b]. Thus, to find the absolute maximum (absolute minimum) value of the function, we choose
the largest and the smallest amongst the numbers /(fl),/(cj),/(C 2), ●●●, /(qt)//(^) where
A = Cl, C2,q, are the stationary points.
We may use the following algorithm for finding the maximum (absolute maximum) and the
minimum (absolute minimum) of a function/defined on a closed interval b].
ALGORITHM

Step I Find f' (a)


Step II Put f' (a) -=0 and ifnd values ofx. Let cj ,C2, ■■■,€„ be the values of x.
Step III Take the maximum and minimum values out of the values f(a).f(cj), f(c2), f(c„). f(b).
The maximum and minimum values obtained in step III are respectively the largest (or absolute
maximum) and the smallest (or absolute minimwn) values of the function.

EXAMPLEi Findthemaximumandminimumvaluesoff{x) = -24a: + 107 in the interval [1, 3].
SOLUTION We have, [NCERT]
f{x)=2x^ -24X + 107 /'(x) = 6a:2-24
Now, f'(x) = 0 ^ 6:c^-24 = 0=> = ±2
But, x=-2z[l, 3]. So a: = 2 is the only stationary poiiit. Let us now compute the values oif(x) at
x = l,2, 3. We find that

ww
/(I) = 2-24 + 107 =85,/(2) = 2 (2)^ - 24 (2) + 107 =75
and. /(3) = 2(3)^-24x 3 + 107 =89
Clearly, largest of these values is 89 and the least is 75. Hence, the maximum value of/(x) is 89

i.e., the integration of the linear combination of a finite number of functions is equal to the linear

18.5 GEOMETRICAL INTERPRETATION OF INDEFINITE INTEGRAL


In order to understand the geometrical meaning of an
indefinite integral, let us consider a
function/given by/(x) = -2x.
Clearly,
» 2
/ (x) dx = - X + C, where C is the constant of integration.
Let us now consider the family of curves given by y = / (x) dx or, y = - x^ + C.
2
Clearly, y = - x + C represents a family of parabolas having their common axis of symmetry
along y-axis as shown in Fig. 18.1.
In other words, each integral of /(x) = -2x represents a parabola with its axis of symmetry along
y-axis.
18.16 MATHEMATICS-XII

Let us now consider the points of intersection of each of these parabolas with a line parallel to
y-axis (a line orthogonal to the axis representing the variable of integration). Let x=-a be a line
parallel to y-axis which cuts the parabolasy = - .r , Y
K A x = a

y = -x^+\, y = -:r^ + 2, y = -A:^ + 3 etc. respectively at


points r F2 ' ^3 ' ^4 points, we have P-

^^-2a X' X
dx P\
■>
That is the slopes of the tangents to the parabolas at ^ V

, ?2 , P3 , F4 etc. are same. Consequently, tangents at y = -x^ + 2


, ?2 / P3 / P4 etc. are parallel. y = -xP' +1/
Thus, the indefinite integral of a function may be interpreted y = -^2

ww
geometrically as follows: V

18.6 COMPARISON BETWEEN DIFFERENTIATION AND INTEGRATION

Following points will help us to understand the difference between the differentiation and
integration,
uurr
for
(i) The operations of differentiation and integration are defined on functions,
(ii) The derivative of a function, when it exists is a unique function whereas the integral of a
function is not unique. In fact there are infinitely many integrals of a function such that
kss
Yoo

any two integrals differ by a constant,


ooook

(iii) The derivative of a function at a point (if it exists) is meaningful but the integral of a
eBB

function at a point does not have any sense,


(iv) Every function is not differentiable. Similarly, every function is not integrable.
(v) The derivative of a function at a point determines, the slope of the tangent to the
uurr

corresponding curve at that point. The integral of a function represents a family of curves
ad

having parallel tangents at the points of intersection of the curves of the family with the
lines orthogonal to the axis representing the variable of integration,
dY

(vi) The processes of differentiation and integraUon are inverse of each other,
Re
innd

(vii) The operations of differentiation and integration are operations on functions,


Fi

(viii) Both the operations are linear.


i.e.
dx dx dx
and. (f{x)+g {x)) dx = / (x) dx+ g {x) dx
(ix) The constant can be taken out side the differential as well as integral sign.
i.e. ^{kf(x))=k-^if{x))
dx dx
and, \●’ k f {x) dx = k \ f (x) dx
(x) Differentiation and integration both are processes involving limits.
18.7 METHODS OF INTEGRATION
We have the following methods of integration:
(i) Integration by substitution (ii) Integration by parts
(iii) Integration of rational algebraic functions by using partial fractions.
We shall now discuss these methods in the sections to follow:
INDEFINITE INTEGRALS 18.17

18.8 INTEGRATION BY SUBSTITUTION

In section 18.4, we have considered the problems on integration of functions in standard forms
and the problems involving combinations of these functions. Integrals of certain functions
cannot be obtained directly if they are not in one of the standard forms given in section 18.4, but
they may be reduced to standard forms by proper substitution. The method of evaluating an
integral by reducing it to standard form by a proper substitution is called integration by
substitution.

If (j) (a:) is a continuously differentiable function, then to evaluate integrals of the form
(x) dx, we substitute ^{x) =t and (x) dx = dt.

ooww
This
substitution reduces the above integral to J / (t) dt. After evaluating this integral we

substitute back the value of t.

On comparing these three results with

n , X 1
x dx = - + C, - frx = log I XI + C and. sin xdx = - cos x + C
n + 1 X

respectively we find that if x is replaced hyax + b, then the same formula is applicable but we
must divide by the coefficient of x or derivative of {ax + b) with respect to x i.e., a.

w
Thus, in any of the fundamental integration formulas given in section 18.3 if in place ofx we have ax + b,
then the same formula is applicable but we must divide by coefficient ofx or derivative of (ax + b) I.e.

Re

To evaluate this type of integrals we use the following trigonometrical identities to express the
in

products into sums.


F

2 sin A cos B = sin (A + B) + sin (A-B); 2 cos A sin B = sin (/I + B) - sin {A - B)
2 cos A cos B = cos (/I + S) + cos {A - B); 2 sin A sin B = cos {A -B) - cos {A + B)
Following examples will illustrate the procedure.

- cosx + sinx. That is the numerator of the integrand occurs in the derivative of -cosx + sin x.

So, we express 1 + sin 2x in terms of -cosx + sin x. We observe that (-cosx + sin x)^ = 1 - sin 2x.

Therefore, we write 1 + sin 2x = 2 -(1 - sin 2x) = 2 - (sin x - cos x)

To evaluate this type of integrals, we use the following algorithm.


ALGORITHM

Step I Write: Numerator = X (Diff. of denominator) + p (Denominator) + v


i.e. a sin x + b cos x + c = X(p cos x - q sin x) + p (p sin x + q cos x + r) + v
16.106 MATHEMATICS-Xn

Step II Obtain the values ofX and \i by equating the coefficients of sin x and cos x and the constant
terms on both the sides.

Step III Replace the numerator in the integrand by X (p cos x-q sin x) + p.{psiax + q cos a: + r) + v
to obtain
f a sin X + b cos x + c
/ = dx
p sin X + q cos x + r
p cos x-qsm X p sin X + q cos x + r 1
I = X dx-hp + v dx
p sin x + q cos x + r p sm X + q cosx + r p sin X + q cos x + r

1 = Xloglp sin X + q cos ;i: + r| + |iA: + v dx
psin X + q cos x + r

Step IV Evaluate the integral on RHS in step III by using the method discussed earlier.

NOTE 1 Proper choice offirst and second function —

ooww
Integration ivith the help of the above rule is called the integration by parts. In the above rule there are tivo
terms on RHS and in both the terms the integral of the second function is involved. Therefore in the
-1 -1
product of two functions if one of the two functions is not directly integrable (e.g., log x, sin " x, cos ' x,
tan ^ X etc.), we take it as the firstfunction and the remaining function is taken as the secondfunction. If

e
there is no other function, then unity is taken as the second function. If in the integral both the functions

rFl
are easily integrable, then the first function is chosen in such a way that the derivative of the function is a

Fre
simple ^notion and the function thus obtained under the integral sign is easily integrable than the

original function.
