Find the domain and range of the function `f(x)="sin"^(-1)(x^(2))/(2)`

Answer» `f(x)="sin"^(-1)(x^(2))/(2)`
We must have `o le (x^(2))/(2) le 1`
`implies 0le x^(2) le 2`
`implies -sqrt(2) le x le sqrt(2)`
So, domain is `[ -sqrt(2),sqrt(2)]`
Now, ` 0 le (x^(2))/(2) le 1`
`implies sin^(-1) 0 le "sin"^(-1)(x^(2))/(2) le sin^(-1)1`
`implies 0 le "sin"^(-1)(x^(2))/(2) le pi//2`
Hence range is `[0,pi//2]`.

Now `2x^(2)+3x +1 ge -1`
`implies 2x^(2)+3x +2 ge 0`, which is always true as discriminant ` le 0`.
Also, `2x^(2) +3x +1 le 1`
`implies 2x^(2) +3x le 0`
`implies x(2x+3) le 0`
`implies (-3)/(2) le x le 0`
`implies x in [-(3)/(2),0]`
563.

Find the domain and range of the function `f(x) = sin^(-1)((1+e^(x))^(-1))`.

Answer» `f(x) = sin^(-1)((1+e^(x))^(-1))`
We know that `e^(x) gt 0` for all real x.
` :. e^(x) +1 gt 1`
`implies 0 lt (1)/(1+e^(x)) lt 1`
So, f(x) is defined for all real values of x.
Hence domain is R.
Also `0 lt (1)/(1+e^(x)) lt 1`
`implies sin^(-1)0 lt "sin"^(-1)(1)/(1+e^(x)) lt sin^(-1)1`
`implies 0 lt "sin"^(-1)(1)/(1+e^(x)) lt (pi)/(2)`
Therefore, range of the function is `(0, (pi)/(2))`

Find the values of x for which the following pair of functions are identical. (i) `f(x)=tan^(-1)x+cot^(-1)x " and " g(x)=sin^(-1)x +cos^(-1)x` (ii) `f(x)=cos(cos^(-1)x) " and " g(x)=cos^(-1)(cosx)`

Answer» (i) `f(x)=tan^(-1)x+cot^(-1)x ,x in R.`
` " and " g(x)=sin^(-1)x +cos^(-1)x=(pi)/(2) " for " x in [-1,1]`
Hence functions are identical if ` x in [-1,1].`
(ii) `f(x)=cos(cos^(-1)x)` is defined if `cos^(-1)x` is defined for which ` x in [-1,1].`
` g(x)=cos^(-1)(cosx)` is defined if `cosx in [-1,1],` which is true `AA x in R.` So, domain is R.
Thus, common domain of two functions is `[-1,1].`
` :. f(x) =x " and " g(x) =x " for " [-1,1].`
565.

Find the range of `f(x)=1/(2cosx-1)`

Answer» `-1 le cosx le 1`
or ` -2 le 2 cosx le 2`
or ` -3 le 2cos x -1 le 1`
For `(1)/(2cosx-1),`
`-3 le 2 cosx -1 lt 0 " or " 0 lt 2 cosx -1 le1`
i.e., `-oo lt (1)/(2cosx-1) le (-1)/(3) " or " 1 le (1)/(2cosx-1) lt oo`
Hence, the range is `(-oo,-(1)/(3)] cup [1, oo).`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
We have `f(x)=""^(7-x)P_(x-3)=((7-x)!)/((10-2x)!)`
We must have `7-x gt 0, x ge 3, " and " 7-x ge x-3.` Therefore,
`x lt 7, x ge 3, " and " x le 5`
or ` 3 le x le 5`
or ` x =3,4,5`
Now, `f(3)=(4!)/(4!)=1, f(4)=(3!)/(2!)=3,f(5)=(2!)/(0!)=2.`
Hence, `R_(f)={1,2,3}.`

When x=3; `R(1) -> (3,3)(3,5)`
`R(2) -> (3,3)(3,5)`
when x=5 ; `R(1) -> (5,3),(5,5)`
`R(2) -> (5,3),(5,5)`
`R(3) -> (5,5)`
`R(4) -> (5,5)`
so, `ROR^-1 = {(3,3)(3,5)(5,3)(5,5)}`
Answer

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`[x^(2)+(1)/(2)]=[x^(2)-(1)/(2)+1]=1+[x^(2)-(1)/(2)].`
Thus, from domain point of view,
`[x^(2)-(1)/(2)]=0,-1 or [x^(2)+(1)/(2)]=1,0`
i.e., `f(x)=sin^(-1)(1)+cos^(-1)(0) or sin^(-1) (0) + cos^(-1)(-1)`
` or f(x)={pi}`
570.

The range of `f(x)=sin^(-1)((x^2+1)/(x^2+2))`is`[0,pi/2]`(b) `(0,pi/6)`(c) `[pi/6,pi/2]`(d) none of theseA. `[0,pi//2]`B. `(0,pi//6)`C. `[pi//6,pi//2)`D. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Here, `(x^(2)+1)/(x^(2)+2)=1-(1)/(x^(2)+2)`
Now, `2 le x^(2)+2 lt oo " for all " x in R`
or ` (1)/(2) ge (1)/(x^(2)+2) gt 0`
or `-(1)/(2) le (-1)/(x^(2)+2) lt 0`
or ` (1)/(2) le 1- (1)/(x^(2)+2) lt 1`
or ` (pi)/(6) le sin^(-1)(1- (1)/(x^(2)+2)) lt (pi)/(2)`
571.

Find the range of the function `f(x)=3 sin (sqrt((pi^(2))/(16)-x^(2))).`

Answer» We must have `(pi^(2))/(16)-x^(2) ge0`
Also, `(pi^(2))/(16)-x^(2) le (pi^(2))/(16)`
`implies 0 le(pi^(2))/(16)-x^(2) le (pi^(2))/(16)`
`implies 0 le sqrt((pi^(2))/(16)-x^(2)) le (pi)/(4)`
`implies 0 le sinsqrt((pi^(2))/(16)-x^(2)) le (1)/(sqrt(2))`
`implies 0 le 3sinsqrt((pi^(2))/(16)-x^(2)) le (3)/(sqrt(2))`
Hence, range is `[0,(3)/(sqrt(2))]`
572.

Find the value of `x`for which function are identical.`f(x)=cosxa n dg(x)=1/(sqrt(1+tan^2x))`

Answer» `f(x)=cos x` has domain R and range `[-1,1]`
`g(x)=(1)/(sqrt(1+tan^(2)x))=(1)/(sqrt(sec^(2)x))=|cosx|,`
has domain `R-{(2n+1)pi//2, n in Z` as `tan x` is not defined for `x=(2n+1)pi//2, n in Z`
Also range of `g(x)=|cosx|` is `[0,1]`
Hence f(x) and g(x) are identical if x lies in first and fourth quadrant.
`implies x in underset(n in Z)(cup)(-(pi)/(2)+2n pi,(pi)/(2)+2n pi)`
573.

Let `f(x)={(x^(2)-4x+3",",x lt 3),(x-4",",x ge 3):}`and `g(x)={(x-3",",x lt 4),(x^(2)+2x+2",",x ge 4):}`. Describe the function `f//g` and find its domain.

Answer» Correct Answer - `(f(x))/(g(x))={((x^(2)-4x+3)/(x-3)",",x lt 3),((x-4)/(x-3)",",3lt x lt 4),((x-4)/(x^(2)+2x+2)",",x ge 4):} `
`f(x)={(x^(2)-4x+3",",x lt 3),(x-4",",x ge 3):}`
`={(x^(2)-4x+3",",x lt 3),(x-4",",3le x lt 4),(x-4",",x ge 4):} " (1)" `
`g(x)={(x-3",",x lt 4),(x^(2)+2x+2",",x ge 4):}`
`={(x-3",",x lt 3),(x-3",",3 le x lt 4),(x^(2)+2x+2",",x ge 4):} " (2)" `
From (1) and (2), we have
`(f(x))/(g(x))={((x^(2)-4x+3)/(x-3)",",x lt 3),((x-4)/(x-3)",",3lt x lt 4),((x-4)/(x^(2)+2x+2)",",x ge 4):} `
Clearly, `f(x)//g(x)` is not defined at `x=3`. Hence, the domain is `R-{3}.`

`=[sinx]+[cosx]+[tanx]+[secx]`
Now, for ` x in(0,pi//4),sinx in(0, (1)/(sqrt(2))), cosx in((1)/(sqrt(2)),1), `
`tanx in(0,1), secx in (1, sqrt(2))`
or `[sinx]=0,[cosx]=0,[tanx]=0, " and " [secx]=1`
Therefore, the range of f(x) is 1.

Show that the relation R in the set R of real numbers, defined as `R={(a ,b): alt=b^2}`is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.

Answer» `R={(a,b):a le b^(2)}`
Here `(1,1) in R " as " 1 le 1, " but " 0.5 notin R " as " 0.5 gt (0.5)^(2)`
Therefore, R is not reflexive.
Now, `(1,4) in R " as " 1 lt 4^(2)`
But, 4 is not less than 1.
Therefore, `(4,1) notin R`
Therefore, R is not symmetric.
Further, `(3,2),(2,1.5) in R ("as "3 lt 2^(2) " and " 2 lt (1.5)^(2))`
But, ` 3 gt (1.5)^(2)=2.25`
Therefore, `(3,1.5) notin R`
Therefore, R is not transitive.
Hence, R is neither reflexive, nor symmetric, nor transitive.

Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric and transitive : (i) Relation R in the set `A= {1, 2, 3, …, 13, 14}` defined as `" " R = { (x, y ) : 3x - y =0}` (ii) Relation R in the set N of natural numbers defined as `" " R = {(x, y) : y = x + 5 and x lt 4}` (iii) Relation R in the set `A= { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}` as `" "R = { (x, y) : y ` is divisible by x`}` (iv) Relation R in the set Z of all integers defined as `" " R = {(x,y) : x -y ` is an integer `}` (v) Relation R in the set A of human beings in a town at a particular time given by (a) `R= {(x, y) : and y` work at the same place `}` (b)` R = { (x, y) : x and y ` live in the same locality `}` (c) `R = {(x, y) : x ` is exactly 7 cm taller than y` }` (d) `R = {(x, y) : x ` is wife of `y}` (e) `R= { (x, y) :x ` is father of `y}`

Answer» (i) A =` { 1, 2, 3, …, 13, 14}`
and `" " R = {(x, y) : 3x -y =0}`
For reflexive `(x,x) in R AA x in A`
but ` " " 3x -y =0 rArr y = 3x`
`therfore " " (x, x) notin R ` if ` x = 2 in A`
`rArr R `is not reflexive,
For symmetricity `(x, y) in R rArr (y, x) in R AA x, y in R `
Now, `" " (x, y) in R rArr 3 x -y =0`
`" " rArr 3y -x ne 0`
`" " rArr (y, x) notin R`
`therefore R` is not symmetric.
e.g., `(1, 3) in R and (3, 1) notin R`
For transitivity `(x, y) in R, (y, z) in R rArr (x, z) in R`
`therefore (1, 3) in R and (3, 9) in R rArr (1, 9) in R`
`rArr R` is not transitive.
(ii) `R= {(x,y) : y = x + 5 and x lt 4 }` and N is the set of natural numbers.
`rArr R = {(1, 6), (2, 7), (3, 8)}`
For reflexive, `(1,1) notin R`
`rArr R` is not reflexive.
For transitivity, `(x,y) in R (y, z) in R rArr (x, z) in R`.
No pair satisfies this condition.
`therefore R` is not transitive.
(iii) `A= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}`
and `R = {(x, y) : y` is divisible by `x}`
`rArr R = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 2), (2, 4), (2, 6), (3, 3), (3, 6), (4, 4), (5, 5, (6, 6)}`
For each `x in A, (x, x) in R`
`therefore R ` is reflexive.
For each `x, y in R, (x, y) in R cancel(rArr) (y, x) in R`
`therefore R` is not symmetric.
For each `x, y, z in A` if `(x, y) in R, (y, z) in R` then `(x, z) in R`
`therefore R` is transitive.
(iv) In the set of all integers Z
`" " R = {(x, y) : x -y ` is an integer. }
Which is true.
`therefore R` is reflexive.
For symmetricity,
`(x, y) in R rArr (x -y)` is an integer.
`" " rArr (y-x) in R`
` therefore R` is symmetric.
`therefore ` For transitivity.
`(x, y) in R and (y, z) in R`
`rArr (x -y) ` is an integer and `(y-z)` is an integer.
`rArr (x-y)+ (y-z)` is an integer.
`rArr (x, z) in R`
`therefore R` is transitive.
(v) (a) `R= {(x, y) : x and y` work at the same place }
This relation is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
(b) `R= {(x, y) : x and y` live in the same locality}.
This relation is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
(c) `R= {(x, y) : x` is exactly 7 cm taller than y }
`(x, x) notin R` because x is no exactly 7 cm taller than y
`therefore R ` is not reflexive.
`(x, y) in R rArr x ` is exactly 7 cm taller than y.
`" " cancel ( rArr) y` is exactly 7 cm taller than x.
`" " cancel (rArr) (y, x) in R`
`therefore R` is not symmetric.
`therfore (x, y) in R and (y, z) in R rArr x ` is exactly 7 cm taller than y and y is exactly7 cm taller than z.

Answer» Correct Answer - `[-1//4,1//2]`
We have `f(x)=sqrt(sin^(-1)(2x)+(pi)/(6))`
We must have `sin^(-1)(2x) +(pi)/(6) ge 0`
`implies sin^(-1)(2x) ge -(pi)/(6) " …(1) " `
But `-(pi)/(2) le sin^(-1)(2x) le (pi)/(2) " (2)" `
From (1) and (2), we have
` -(pi)/(2) le sin^(-1) (2x) le (pi)/(2)`
`implies "sin"(-(pi)/(6)) le 2x le "sin"(pi)/(2)`
`implies -(1)/(2) le 2x le 1`
`implies -(1)/(4) le x le (1)/(2)`
Hence, domain is `[-(1)/(4),(1)/(2)]`

Find positive no. x which satisfy the equation ` log_3 x * log_4 x (log_5 x -1) = log_5 x*(log_4 x+ log_3 x)`

Answer» `log_3^xlog_4^x(log_5^x-1)=log_5^x(log_4^x+log_3^x)`
`log_3^xlog_4^xlog_5^x-log_3^xlog_4^x=log_5^xlog_4^x+log_5^xlog_3^x`
divide by`log_3^xlog_4^xlog_5^x`
`1=1/log_5^x+1/log_3^x+1/log_4^x`
`1=log_x^(5*4*3)`
`1=log_x^60`
`x=60,1`.

show that the function `(i) f : N to N : f (x) =x^(2)` is one-one into (ii) `f : Z to Z : f (x) =x^(2)` is many -one into .

Answer» Let x,y `in` N and f (x) = f(y)
`rArr x^(2)=y^(2)`
`rArr x^(2)-y^(2)` = 0
`rArr (x-y)(x+y) = 0`
`rArr x-y =0` (`because x + y ne 0`)
`rArr` x=y
Therefore, f is one one.
Again , let f (x) = y, where y `in` N (co-domain)
`rArr x^(2) = y`
`rArrx=+-sqrt(y)in N is y -3 in N`
Therefore , an element 3 belongs to co-domain such that it has no pre-image in domain N.
`:.` f is into.
Therefore, f is one-one into.

If `f:R->R and g:R-> R` are two mappings such that `f(x) = 2x and g(x)=x^2+ 2` then find `fog and gog`.

Answer» (i) (gof) (x) = g [f(x)]
= g (2x) = `(2x)^(2)+2= 4x^(2) + 2.`
and (fog)(x) = f[g(x)]
= `f(x^(2)+2) = 2(x^(2)+2)= 2x^(2) + 4`
`:.` gof `ne` fog. Hence Proved.
(ii) (fog) (2) = f[g(2)]
= f(2^(2) + 2) = f(6) = 12.
(gog)(1) = g [g(1)]
= `g (1^(2)+2) = g (3) = 3^(2) + 2 = 11`.
and (fof) (3) = f[f(3)]
= f`(2xx3) = f(6) = 2xx6 = 12` Ans.
