 3.1 Mapping and function
1. Mapping
Suppose there are 2 sets A and B, according to
a specific relationship f, by which every element
of Ahas a corresponding and unique element of B ,
such relationship calls the mapping from set A to
set B , which denotes: f : A  B

03/11/2024 NUIST 6
 3.1 Mapping and function
If meet the condition f : A  B , then element a
of A and element b of B are corresponding
uniquely, b calls the image of a , a calls the pre-
b A
image of , is the pre-image set of mapping, B
is the image set of mapping.

f
To be noted: corresponding relation may more
to one, one to one, but not one to more.

 3.1 Mapping and function
According to definition of mapping, the following
relationships are all mapping.
(1) A  {1, 2,3, 4}, B  {3, 4,5, 6} . Element x of A
abide the relation “ x  2” to uniquely
corresponding to element of B .

Such correspondence is one to one, which is

mapping from A to B.
03/11/2024 NUIST 8
 3.1 Mapping and function
(2) A  N* , B  {0,1}, element x of A according to
the relationship “the arithmetical compliment of
x divide 2” to corresponding to element of B .

Such correspondence is more to one, which is

mapping from A to B .

03/11/2024 NUIST 9
 3.1 Mapping and function
(3) A  R, B  {points on a straight line} , according
to the method of creating number axis, which
allow element x of A corresponding to element
of . B

Such correspondence is one to one, which is

mapping from A to B .

 3.1 Mapping and function
Example 1. X  {x | 0  x  2}, Y  { y | 0  y  1},
1
(1) f : x  y  x ; (2) f : x  y  ( x  2) 2, which is
2
the mapping from X to Y .
Solution
x
(1) To element x of X , 0  x  2 , we have 0   1 ,
x 2
So  Y , which means each element of X
2
uniquely corresponding to element of Y .

03/11/2024 NUIST 11
 3.1 Mapping and function
(2) When x  0, ( x  2)  4  Y , so
2

f : x  y  ( x  2) 2 is not the mapping from X

to Y .

 3.1 Mapping and function
2. Functions
Suppose A and B are sets of numbers, if
according to a specific relationship f , by which
the any element x of A has the unique
corresponding element y of B , then f : A  B
calls the function from A to B , which denotes
y  f ( x), ( x  A)
 3.1 Mapping and function
In which x is argument, the range A of x is the
domain of function and denotes D f ,
y
corresponding element of Y is the value of a
function, the set of functional values
{ f ( x) | x  A} calls range and denotesV f .
According to the definitions of mapping and
function: function must be mapping, but
mapping may not the function.
Two functions are the same if and only if their
domains and corresponding relationships are equal.
 3.1 Mapping and function
3. The radical expression
Generally, if x  a , then x is the nth root of a ,
n

n  1, n  N* .
When n is an odd number, the nth root of a is
unique, which denotes n a .
When n is an even number, positive a have two
nth roots, which denotes  n a . Negative number
Has not even number root. The arbitrary root
(not 0) of 0 is still 0
 3.1 Mapping and function
Forms like n a call radical expression, n is the
index of a radical, a is the radicand.
Example. Try to determine the domains of
following functions.
(1) f ( x)  3x  2

(2) f ( x)  1
x 1 
2 x
 3.1 Mapping and function
Solution:
2
1. Due to3x  2  0( x   ) then parabolic radical
3 2
expression is meaningful, soD f  [ , ) .
3
2. Due to the meaningful set of x  1 is {x | x  1}
1
, the meaningful set of is {x | x  2}, so the
2 x
domain of function is
D f  {x | x  1} {x | x  2}  [1, 2) (2, )

same as the function y  x( x  R ) .
(1) y  ( x )2
(2) y  3 x3
(3) y  x 2
 3.1 Mapping and function
Solution:
1. The domain of y  ( x ) 2
is x( x  0) , which is
different from original function.
2. The domain of y  x is R, so the domain and

 3.2 The monotonicity of function
From left figure, the right part of y axis increases
form left to right, which means while x  [0, ),
f ( x) increases while x increases; the left part of y
axis decreases from left to right, which means
while x  (, 0], f ( x) decreases while x increases.

From right figure, while x  (, ) , f ( x)

increases while x increases.
 3.2 The monotonicity of function

There are 2 arguments x1 , x2 in interval I,

f ( x1 )  f ( x2 ) while x1  x2 , we say f ( x) in interval I is
the increasing function; if f ( x1 )  f ( x2 ) while x1  x2
, we say f ( x) in interval I is the strictly increasing
function.
 3.2 The monotonicity of function

There are 2 arguments x1 , x2 in interval I,

f ( x1 )  f ( x2 ) while x1  x2 , we say f ( x) in interval I is
the decreasing function; if f ( x1 )  f ( x2 ) while x1  x2
, we say f ( x) in interval I is strictly decreasing
function.

03/11/2024 NUIST 27
 3.2 The monotonicity of function
If function y  f ( x) is a increasing or decreasing
function in interval I, such function has
monotonicity in interval I, this interval calls the
monotone interval.

 3.2 The monotonicity of function
Example. To discuss the monotonicity of
k
function f ( x )  in (0, ).
x
Solution. Suppose x1 , x2 are 2 real numbers
in (0, ) , and x1  x2 , then
k k k ( x2  x1 )
f ( x1 )  f ( x2 )   
x1 x2 x1 x2
Due to x1 , x2  (0, ) , then x1 x2  0 , due to x1  x2 ,
x2  x1
then  0.
x1 x2
03/11/2024 NUIST 29
 3.2 The monotonicity of function
So while k  0 , f ( x1 )  f ( x2 )  0  f ( x1 )  f ( x2 ) , now
k
f ( x)  is decreasing function in (0, ); while k  0
x
k
f ( x1 )  f ( x2 )  0  f ( x1 )  f ( x2 ), now f ( x)  is

increasing function in (0, ).

 3.3 The parity of function
1. The definition of parity of function
Generally, if the D f of f ( x) is symmetric with
the origin point, moreover,
(1)If x  D f , f ( x)   f ( x ) , then f ( x) calls
the odd function.
(2) If x  D f , f ( x)  f ( x) , then f ( x) calls
the even function.
If a function is either odd function or even
function, such function then has the parity.
03/11/2024 NUIST 35
 3.3 The parity of function
To be noted: We should determine the domain
before judge the parity of a function, to make
sure whether the domain is symmetric with
origin, if not, the function has not the parity.

 3.4 The inverse function
1. Definition
Generally, suppose the range of function
y  f ( x)( x  A) is C , then the relation
between A and C is uniquely corresponding. If
express x by y and get x   ( y )( y  C ) , then
such relation between C and A is also uniquely
corresponding, so that x   ( y ) means y is
argument, x is the function of argument.
03/11/2024 NUIST 44
 3.4 The inverse function
Such function x   ( y )( y  C ) calls the
inverse function of function y  f ( x)( x  A)
and denotes x  f 1 ( y ).
We often express argument by x and the
function by y , so after exchanging the x and y,
the inverse function denotes y  f 1 ( x) .
Example. The inverse function of y  2 x is
x
y  ( x  R)

The domain of function y  f ( x ) is the range of
inverse function y  f 1

is the domain of inverse function y  f 1 ( x).
To be noted: Not every function has its inverse
function, only the relationship of a function is
one-to-one has its inverse function. For
example, y  x2
Function has not its inverse function
