Let `A = {1, 2, 3}`, `B = {4, 5, 6, 7}`and let `f = {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)}`be a function from A to B. Show that f is one-one.

Answer» It is given that `A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {4, 5, 6, 7}`.
`f: A -> B` is defined as `f = {(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)}`.
`:. f (1) = 4, f (2) = 5, f (3) = 6`
We can see that the images of distinct elements of `A` under `f` are distinct.
Hence, function `f` is one-one.

What is the principalvalue of `cos^(-1)cos((2pi)/3)+sin^(-1)sin((2pi)/3)?`

Answer» `cos^-1cos((2pi)/3)+sin^-1sin((2pi)/3)`
We know, principal value of `cos^-1` is between `0` to `2pi` and for `sin^-1` is `-pi/2` to `pi/2`.
`:.` Principal value of `cos^-1cos((2pi)/3) = (2pi)/3`
`sin^-1sin((2pi)/3) = sin^-1sin(pi-(2pi)/3) = sin^-1sin((pi)/3) = pi/3`
`:.` Principal value of `sin^-1sin((2pi)/3) = pi/3`
`:.` Principal value of given expression ` = (2pi)/3+pi/3 = pi`

Prove that : `tan^(-1)(1/2)+tan^(-1)(1/5)+tan^(-1)(1/8)=pi/4dot`

Answer» Here, we will use,
`tan^-1x+tan^-1y = tan^-1((x+y)/(1-xy))`
`L.H.S. = tan^-1(1/2)+tan^-1(1/5)+tan^-1(1/8)`
`=tan^-1((1/2+2/5)/(1-1/2(2/5)))+tan^-1(1/8)`
`=tan^-1(7/9)+tan^-1(1/8)`
`=tan^-1((7/9+1/8)/(1-7/9(1/8)))`
`=tan^-1((65/72)/(65/72))`
`=tan^-1(1)`
`=tan^-1(tanpi/4)`
`=pi/4 = R.H.S.`

Prove, using properties of determinants:`|[y+k, y, y],[ y, y+k, y],[ y, y, y+k]|=k^2(3y+k)`

Answer» `L.H.S. = |[y+k,y,y],[y,y+k,y],[y,y,y+k]|`
Applying `R_1->R_1+R_2+R_3`
`=|[3y+k,3y+k,3y+k],[y,y+k,y],[y,y,y+k]|`
Applying `C_2->C_2-C_1 and C_3->C_3-C_1`
`=|[3y+k,0,0],[y,k,0],[y,0,k]|`
`=(3y+k)(k^2-0)-0+0 `
`=k^2(3y+k) = R.H.S.`

A binaryoperation * on the set {0,1,2,3,4,5} is defined as:`a*b={a+b a+b-6" if "a+b

Answer» Let `X = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.`
The given operation `**` on `X` is defined as:
`a**b={a+b if a+b<6`
                 `a+b-6 if a+b≥6}`
An element `einX` is the identity element for the operation `**`, if`a**e=a=e**a` for `a in X`.
For `a in X`,
`a**0=a+0=a`
`0**a=0+a=a `
`:. a**0=a=0**a` for `a in X`.
Thus, `0` is the identity element for the given operation `**`.
An element `a in X` is invertible if there exists `b in X` such that `a**b=e=b**a`.
`=>a**b ={(a+b=0=b+a,if a+b<6`
         `a+b−6=0=b+a−6if a+b≥6)}`
`=>a=−b or b=6−a`
But, `X = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}` and `a,b in X`.Then, `a!=−b`.
Therefore, `b=6−a` is the inverse of `a`.
Hence, the inverse of an element `a in X,a != 0` is `6−a `.
