Chapter – 2

Exercise 2.1

1. If (x/3 + 1, y – 2/3) = (5/3, 1/3) find the values of x and y.

Ans:

 2. If the set A has 3 elements and the set B = {3, 4, 5} , then find the number of elements in (A×B).

Ans: It is given that set A has 3 elements and the elements of set B are 3, 4, and 5.

 ⇒ Number of elements in set B = 3 

Number of elements in (A x B)

 = (Number of elements in A) x (Number of elements in B)

= 3 x 3 = 9 

Thus, the number of elements in (A x B) is 9.

3. If G = {7, 8} and H = {5, 4, 2} find G×H and H×G.

Ans: G = {7, 8} and H = {5, 4, 2}

We know that the Cartesian product P x Q of two non-empty sets P and Q is defined as

P x Q = {(p, q): P∈ P, q ∈Q}

∴G⨯H = {(7, 5), (7, 4), (7, 2), (8, 5), (8, 4), (8, 2)}

HxG = {(5, 7), (5, 8), (4, 7), (4, 8), (2, 7), (2, 8)}.

4. State whether each of the following statements are true or false. If the statement is false, rewrite the given statement correctly.

(i) If P = {m, n} and Q = {n, m} then P×Q = {(m, n), (n, m)}.

Ans: False

If P = {m, n} and Q = {n, m}, then

 P x Q = {(m, m), (m, n), (n, m), (n, n)}.

(ii) If A and B are non-empty sets, then A×B is a non-empty set of ordered pairs (x, y) such that x ∈ A and y ∈ B.

Ans: True.

(iii) If A = {1, 2} B = {3, 4} then A ×(B ∩ ∅)= ∅.

Ans: True.

5. If A = {- 1, 1} find A × A × A.

Ans: It is known that for any non-empty set A, A x A x A is defined as 

A x A x A = {(a, b, c): a, b, c ∈ A} 

It is given that A = {- 1, 1}

∴ A ⨯ A ⨯ A = {(- 1, – 1, – 1), (- 1, – 1, 1), (- 1, 1, – 1), (- 1, 1, 1) , (1, -1, -1), (1, -1, 1), (1, 1, -1), (1, 1, 1)}.

6. If A×B = {(a, x), (a, y), (b, x), (b, y)} Find A and B.

Ans: It is given that A x B = {(a, x), (a, y), (b, x), (b, y)} 

We know that the Cartesian product of two non-empty sets P and Q is defined as P x Q = {(p. q): p ∈ P, q ∈Q} 

∴ A is the set of all first elements and B is the set of all second elements.

Thus, A = {a, b} and B = {x, y}.

7. Let A = {1, 2} B = {1, 2, 3, 4} C = {5, 6} and D = {5, 6, 7, 8} . Verify that.

(i) A × (B ∩ C) = (A × B) ∩ (A × C).

Ans: To verify: A x (B ∩ C) = (A x B) ∩ (A x C) 

We have B ∩ C = {1, 2, 3, 4} ∩ {5,6} = ∅

∴ L.H.S.=A x (B ∩ C)= A x ∅ = ∅

A x B = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4)}

 A x C = {(1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 5), (2, 6)} 

∴ R .H.S.=(A x B) ∩ (A x C) = ∅

∴ L .H.S.= R.H.S 

Hence, A x (B ∩ C) = (A x B) ∩ (A x C).

(ii) A × C is a subset of B × D.

Ans: To verify: A x C is a subset of B x D

A x C = {(1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 5), (2, 6)}

B x D = {(1, 5), (1, 6), (1, 7), (1, 8), (2, 5), (2, 6), (2, 7), (2, 8), (3, 5), (3, 6), (3, 7), (3, 8), (4, 5), (4, 6), (4, 7), (4, 8)}

We can observe that all the elements of set A x C are the elements of set B x D.

Therefore, A x C is a subset of B x D.

8. Let A = {1, 2} and B = {3, 4} . Write A × B How many subsets will A × B have? List them.

Ans: A = {1, 2} and B = {3, 4}

∴ A x B = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4)} 

⇒n(A x B) = 4 

We know that if C is a set with n(C) = m, then n[P(C)] = 2ᵐ.

Therefore, the set A x B has 2⁴= 16 subsets. These are 

Φ {(1, 3)}, {(1, 4)}, {(2, 3)}, {(2, 4)}, {(1, 3), (1, 4)}, {(1, 3), (2, 3)} , 

{(1, 3), (2, 4)}, {(1, 4), (2, 3)}, {(1, 4), (2, 4)}, {(2, 3), (2, 4)}

{(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3)}, {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 4)}, {(1, 3), (2, 3), (2, 4)}, 

{(1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4)}, {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4)}.

9. Let A and B be two sets such that n(A) = 3 and n(B) = 2. If (x, 1), (y, 2), (z, 1) are in A×B

find A and B, where x, y and z are distinct elements.

Ans: It is given that n(A) = 3 and n(B) = 2; and (x, 1), (y, 2), (z, 1) are in A x B. 

We know that A = Set of first elements of the ordered pair elements of A x B 

B = Set of second elements of the ordered pair elements of A x B. 

 ∴ x, y, and zare the elements of A; and 1 and 2 are the elements of B. 

Since n(A) = 3 and n(B) = 2 , it is clear that A = {x, y, z) and B = {1, 2}.

10. The Cartesian product A × A has 9 elements among which are found (-1, 0) and (0,1). Find the set A and the remaining elements of A × A.

Ans: We know that if n(A) = p and n(B) = q; then n(A × B) = pq.

∴ n(A × A) = n(A) × n(A)

It is given that n(A × A) = 9 

∴ n(A) × n(A) = 9

 ⇒n(A) = 3

The ordered pairs (-1, 0) and (0, 1) are two of the nine elements of A x A.

We know that A ⨯ A= {(a, a): a ∈A). Therefore, -1, 0, and 1 are elements of A.

Since n(A) = 3 it is clear that A = {- 1, 0, 1}

The remaining elements of set A x A are (-1,-1), (-1, 1), (0, -1), (0, 0), (1,-1), (1, 0), and (1, 1).

Exercise 2.2

1. Let A = {1, 2, 3 ,…,14} Define a relation R from A to A by R = {(x, y): 3x – y = 0 where x, y ∈ A}.  Write down its domain, codomain and range.

Ans: The relation R from A to A is given as 

R = {(x, y): 3x – y = 0 where x, y ∈ A}

i.e., R = {(x, y): 3x = y, where x, y ∈ A}

∴ R = {(1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9), (4, 12)}

The domain of R is the set of all first elements of the ordered pairs in the relation.

∴ Domain of R = {1, 2, 3, 4}

The whole set A is the codomain of the relation R.

∴ Codomain of R = A = {1, 2, 3, …, 14}

The range of R is the set of all second elements of the ordered pairs in the relation.

∴ Range of R = {3, 6, 9, 12}.

2. Define a relation R on the set N of natural numbers by R= {(x, y) : y = x + 5 ,x is a natural number less than 4 ; x, y ∈ N} Depict this relationship using roster form. Write down the domain and the range.

Ans: R= {(x, y): y = x + 5 , xis a natural number less than 4, x, y ∈ N}

The natural numbers less than 4 are 1, 2, and 3. 

∴ R = {(1, 6), (2, 7), (3, 8)} 

The domain of R is the set of all first elements of the ordered pairs in the relation. 

∴ Domain of R = {1, 2, 3}

The range of R is the set of all second elements of the ordered pairs in the relation. 

∴ Range of R = {6, 7, 8}.

3. A = {1, 2, 3, 5} and B = {4, 6, 9} Define a relation R from A to B by R = {(x, y)}:the difference between x and y is odd; x ∈ A, y ∈  B}. Write R in roster form.

Ans: A = {1, 2, 3, 5} and B = {4, 6, 9}

R = {(x, y): the difference between xand yis odd; x ∈ A, y ∈B}

∴ R = {(1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 9), (3, 4), (3, 6), (5, 4), (5, 6)}.

4. The Fig2.7 shows a relationship between the sets P and Q. Write this relation.

(ii) roster form.

Ans: R = {(5, 3), (6, 4), (7, 5)}

Domain of R = {5, 6, 7}

Range of R = {3, 4, 5}.

Ans: R = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 2), (2, 4), (2, 6), (3, 3), (3, 6), (4, 4), (6, 6)}.

(ii) Find the domain of R.

Ans: Domain of R = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6}.

(iii) Find the range of R.

Ans: Range of R = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6}.

6. Determine the domain and range of the relation R defined by R = {(x, x + 5) x ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}}.

Ans: R = {(x, x + 5): x ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}}

∴R = {(0, 5), (1, 6), (2, 7), (3, 8), (4, 9), (5, 10)} 

∴ Domain of R = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} 

Range of R = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}.

7. Write the relation R={(x, x³) : x is a prime number less than 10} in roster form.

Ans: R = {(x, x³): x is a prime number less than 10}

The prime numbers less than 10 are 2, 3, 5, and 7.

∴R = {(2, 8), (3, 27), (5, 125), (7, 343)}.

8. Let A = {x, y, z} and B = {1, 2} . Find the number of relations from A to B.

Ans: It is given that A = {x, y, z} and B = {1, 2}

∴ A × B = {(x, 1), (x, 2), (y, 1), (y, 2), (z, 1), (z, 2)} 

Since n(A × B) = 6, the number of subsets of A × B is 2⁶.

Therefore, the number of relations from A to B is 2⁶.

9. Let R be the relation on Z defined by R = {(a,b): a, b ∈ Z a – b is an integer}. Find the domain and range of R.

Ans: R = {(a, b): a, b ∈ Z, a – bis an integer}

It is known that the difference between any two integers is always an integer.

∴ Domain of R = Z

Range of R = Z.

Exercise 2.3

1. Which of the following relations are functions? Give reasons. If it is a function, determine its domain and range.

(i) {(2, 1), (5, 1), (8, 1), (11, 1), (14, 1), (17, 1)}.

Ans: {(2, 1), (5, 1), (8, 1), (11, 1), (14, 1), (17, 1)}

Since 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, and 17 are the elements of the domain of the given relation having their unique images, this relation is a function.

Here, domain = {2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17) and range = {1}.

(ii) {(2, 1), (4, 2), (6, 3), (8, 4), (10, 5), (12, 6), (14, 7)}.

Ans: {(2, 1), (4, 2), (6, 3), (8, 4), (10, 5), (12, 6), (14, 7)}

Since 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 are the elements of the domain of the given relation having their unique images, this relation is a function.

Here, domain = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14) and range = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}.

(iii) {(1, 3),(1,5),(2,5).

Ans: {(1, 3), (1, 5), (2, 5)}

Since the same first element i.e., 1 corresponds to two different images i.e., 3 and 5, this relation is not a function.

2. Find the domain and range of the following real functions:

(i) f(x) = – |x|

Ans: f(x) = – |x| 

f(- 1) = – |- 1| = – 1 

f(o) = – |0| = 0 

f(1) = – |1| = – 1 

Here, x can be any real number, but f(x) will always be negative or zero. 

Therefore, 

Domain of function = R (All real numbers) 

Range of the function = Negative real numbers

(ii) f(x) = √9 – x²

Ans: f(x) = √9 – x²

9 – x² ≥ 0

x² < 9

x < ±3

x ∈ [- 3, 3]

f(- 3) = √9 – (- 3)² = 0 (Real number)

f(0) = √9 – 0 = 3 (Real number)

f(3) = √9 – (3) = 0 (Real number)

Here, 

– 3 ≤ x ≤ 3 

0 ≤ f(x) ≤ 3 

Therefore,

Domain of function = [- 3, 3]

Range of the function = [0, 3]

3. A function f is defined by f(x) = 2x – 5. Write down the values of

(i) f (0).

Ans: f(0) = 2 × 0 – 5 = 0 – 5 = – 5.

Ans: f(7) = 2 × 7 – 5 = 14 – 5 = 9.

(iii) f (-3).

Ans: f(- 3) = 2 × (- 3) – 5 = – 6 – 5 = – 11.

Ans:

5. Find the range of each of the following functions.

(i) f(x) = 2 – 3x, x ∈ R, x > 0.

Ans: Given x > 0 

⇒ 3x > 0 

⇒ – 3x < 0 

⇒ 2 – 3x < 2 

⇒ f(x) < 2 

∴ Range of f = (-∞, 2)

(ii) f(x) = x² + 2, x is a real number.

Ans: f(x) = x² + 2 x, is a real number

The values of f(x) for various values of real numbers xcan be written in the tabular form as

x0±0.3±0.8±1±2±3….
f(x)22.092.643611………..

Thus, it can be clearly observed that the range of fis the set of all real numbers greater than 2.

i.e., range of f = [2, ∞)

Alter:

Let x be any real number.

Accordingly.

x² ≥ 0

⇒ x² + 2 ≥ 0 + 2

⇒ x² + 2 ≥ 2

⇒ f(x) ≥ 2

∴ Range of f = [2, ∞)

(iii) f(x) = x, x is a real number.

Ans: f(x) = x, x is a real number

It is clear that the range of f is the set of all real numbers.

 ∴ Range of f = R.

Miscellaneous Exercise on Chapter 2

Ans: The relation fig defined as

It is observed that for 

0 ≤ x < 3, f(x) = x²

3 < x ≤ 10 f(x) = 3x

Also, at x = 3 f(x) = 3² = 9 or f(x) = 3 × 3 = 9 

i.e., at x = 3 f(x) = 9 

Therefore, for 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 the images of f(x) are unique. 

Thus, the given relation is a function.

The relation gis defined as 

It can be observed that for x = 2 g(x) = 2² = 4 and g(x) = 3 × 2 = 6

Hence, element 2 of the domain of the relation corresponds to two different images i.e., 4 and 6. Hence, this relation is not a function.

Ans:

Ans: It can be seen that function f is defined for all real numbers except at x = 6 and x = 2 

Hence the domain of f is R – {2, 6}

4. Find the domain and the range of the real function f defined by f(x) = √(x – 1) .

Ans: The given real function is f(x) = √x – 1

It can be seen that √x – 1 is defined for (x – 1) ≥ 0 

i.e., f(x) = √(x – 1) is defined for x ≥ 1 

Therefore the domain of f is the set of all real numbers greater than or equal to 

1 i.e., 

the domain of f = [1, ∞) 

As X ≥ 1

⇒ (x – 1) ≥ 0 

⇒ √x – 1 ≥ 0 

f(x) ≥ 0 

Therefore the range of f is the set of all real numbers greater than or equal to o i.e., the range of f = [0, ∞)

5. Find the domain and the range of the real function f defined by f(x) = |x – 1|.

Ans: The given real function isf(x) = |x-1|.

 It is clear that |x-1| is defined for all real numbers. 

∴ Domain of f= R

Also, for x ∈ R, |x-1| assumes all real numbers.

Hence, the range of fis the set of all non-negative real numbers.

Ans: 

The range of f is the set of all second elements. It can be observed that all these elements are greater than or equal to 0 but less than 1. 

[Denominator is greater numerator] 

Thus, range of f = [0, 1)

7. Let f, g : R → R be defined, respectively by f(x) = x + 1 g(x) = 2x – 3 Find f + g, f – g and f/g.

Ans: f, g : R → R is defined as 

f(x) = x + 1 

g(x) = 2x – 3 

Now, (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = (x + 1) + (2x – 3) = 3x – 2 

∴ (f + g)(x) = 3x – 2 

Now, (f – g)(x) = f(x) – g(x) = (x + 1) – (2x – 3) = x + 1 – 2x + 3 = – x + 4 

∴ (f – g)(x) = – x + 4

8. Let f= {(1,1), (2,3), (0,-1), (-1, -3)} be a function from Z to Z defined by f(x) = ax + b, for some integers a, b. Determine a, b.

Ans: f = {(1, 1), (2, 3), (0, – 1), (- 1, – 3)}

f(x) = ax + b

(1, 1) ∈  f

⇒ f(1) = 1

⇒ a x 1 + b = 1

⇒ a + b = 1

(0, – 1) ∈ f

⇒ f(0) = – 1

⇒ a x 0 + b = – 1

⇒ b = – 1

On substituting b = – 1 in a + b = 1 we obtain a+(-1)=1 ⇒a = 1 + 1 = 2 .

Thus, the respective values of a and bare 2 and -1.

9. Let R be a relation from N to N defined by R  = {(a, b) : a, b ∈ N and a=b²}. Are the following true? 

Justify your answer in each case.

(i) (a,a) ∈ R, for all a ∈ N.

Ans: It can be seen that 2 ∈ N;however, 2 ≠ 2² = 4.

Therefore, the statement “(a, a) ∈ R, for all a ∈ N” is not true.

(ii) (a,b) ∈ R, implies (b,a) ∈ R.

Ans: It can be seen that (9, 3) ∈ N because 9, 3 ∈ N and 9 = 3².

Now, 3 ≠ 9² = 81; therefore, (3, 9) ∠”° N

Therefore, the statement “(a, b) ∈ R, implies (b, a) ∈ R” is not true.

(iii) (a,b) ∈ R, (b,c) ∈ R implies (a,c) ∈ R.

Ans: It can be seen that (16, 4) ∈ R, (4, 2) ∈ R because 16, 4, 2 ∈ N and 16 = 4² and 4 = 2².

Now, 16 ≠ 2² = 4; therefore, (16, 2)∠ “° N

Therefore, the statement “(a, b) ∈ R, (b, c) ∈ R implies (a, c) ∈  R” is not true.

10. Let A={1,2,3,4}, B = {1,5,9,11,15,16} and f= {(1,5), (2,9), (3,1), (4,5), (2,11)} Are the following true?

(i) f is a relation from A to B Justify your answer in each case.

Ans: A relation from a non-empty set A to a non-empty set B is a subset of the Cartesian product A x B.

It is observed that fig a subset of A x B.

Thus, fig a relation from A to B.

(ii) f is a function from A to B.

Ans: Since the same first element i.e., 2 corresponds to two different images i.e., 9 and 11, relation f is not a function.

11. Let f be the subset of Z × Z defined by f = {(ab, a + b): a, b ∈ Z}. Is f a function from Z to Z? Justify your answer.

Ans: The relation fis defined as f= {(ab, a + b):a, b ∈ Z} 

We know that a relation from a set A to a set B is said to be a function if every element of set A has unique images in set B. 

Since 2, 6, -2, – 6 ∈ Z ( 2 × 6, 2 + 6), ( – 2 × -6,-2 +(-6)) ∈ f 

i.e., (12, 8), (12, – 8) ∈ f

It can be seen that the same first element i.e., 12 corresponds to two different images i.e., 8 and -8. Thus, relation fis not a function.

12. Let A = {9,10,11,12,13} and let f: A→N be defined by f (n) = the highest prime factor of n. Find the range of f.

Ans: A = {9, 10, 11, 12, 13}

f: A →Nis defined as

 f(n) = The highest prime factor of n

Prime factor of 9 = 3 

Prime factors of 10 = 2, 5 

Prime factor of 11 = 11 

Prime factors of 12 = 2, 3 

Prime factor of 13 = 13

∴ f(9) = The highest prime factor of 9 = 3

f(10) = The highest prime factor of 10 = 5

f(11) = The highest prime factor of 11 = 11

f(12) = The highest prime factor of 12 = 3

f(13) = The highest prime factor of 13 = 13

The range of fis the set of all f(n) where n ∈ A.

∴Range of f = {3, 5, 11, 13}.
