= {(– 1, 1), (– 1, 1), (1, – 1), (1, 1)}
and A × A × A = {(– 1, – 1), (– 1, 1), (1, – 1), (1, 1)} × {– 1, 1}

A × B = {(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4)}
A × C = {(1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 5), (2, 6) and (A × B) ∩ (A × C) = Φ …(2)

8. Let A = {1, 2} and B = {3, 4}. Write A × B. How many subsets will A × B have? List them.
Sol. Given, A = {(1, 2)} and B = {3, 4}
So, A × B = {(1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4)}
Number of elements in A × B = 4
Therefore, the number of subsets = 24 = 16
Subsets of A × B = f, {(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)},

Sol. If (x, 1), (y, 2), (z, 1) lies in (A × B), where n(A) = 3 and n(B) = 2, then

Sol. (– 1, 0) and (0, 1) are in the cartesian product of A × A having 9 elements.
So, A = {– 1, 0, 1}
A × A = {– 1, 0, 1} × {– 1, 0, 1}
= {(– 1, – 1), (– 1, 0), (– 1, 1), (0, – 1), (0, 0), (0, 1), (1, – 1), (1, 0), (1, 1)}

Write down the domain and the range.
Sol. R = {(x, y) : y = x + 5, x is 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 pair 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 is roster form.

7. Write the relation R = {(x, x3) : x is a prime number less than 10} in roster form.
Sol. R = {(x, x3) : x is a prime number less than 10}
The prime number less than 10 aer 2, 3, 5 and 7.
∴ The roster form 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.
Sol. 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.
Sol. R = {(a, b) : a, b ∈ z, a – b is an integer}
It is known that the difference between any two integers is always an integer.

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)}
(ii) {(2, 1), (4, 2), (6, 3), (8, 4), (10, 5), (12, 6), (14, 7)}
(iii) {(1, 3), (1, 5), (2, 5)}.
Sol. (i) {(2, 1), (5, 1), (8, 1), (11, 1), (14, 1), (17, 1)}
As 2, 5, 8, 11, 14 and 17 are the elements of the domain of the relation corresponds to unique images.
So, this relation is a function.
Domain = {2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17}
Range = {1}
(ii) {(2, 1), (4, 2), (6, 3), (8, 4), (10, 5), (12, 6), (14, 7)}
As 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 are the elements of the domain of the relation corresponds to unique images.
So, this relation is a function.
Domain = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14}
Range = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
(iii) {(1, 3), (1, 5), (2, 5)}
Given, element 1 of the domain of the relation corresponds to two differents images i.e., 3 and 5.
So, this relation is not a function
2. Find the domain and range of the following real functions:
(i) f(x) = – | x |
$$\textbf{(ii) f(x) =}\sqrt{\textbf{9-x}^{2}}$$
Sol. (i) Given f(x) = – | x |
We know that
$$|\text{x}|=\begin{Bmatrix}\text{x if x}&\ge 0 \\\text{-x if x} & \lt 0\end{Bmatrix}$$
$$\text{So}\space f(\text{x})=-|\text{x}|=\begin{Bmatrix}\text{-x if x}&\ge 0 \\\text{x} & \lt 0\end{Bmatrix}$$
Since, f(x) is defined for all x ∈ R.
∴ Domain of f is R.
For all the real value of x, the value of | x | always remain positive. Therefore, the value of – | x | always be negative.
So the range if (– ∞, 0).
$$\text{(ii) Here, f(x) =}\sqrt{9-x^2}$$
For the domain of f, we have,
9 – x2 ≥ 0
⇒ 9 ≥ x2
⇒ – 3 ≤ x ≤ 3
So Domain = {x : – 3 ≤ x ≤ 3, x ∈ R}
For any value of x such that – 3 ≤ x ≤ 3, the value of f(x) will lie between 0 and 3.
3. A function f is defined by f(x) = 2x – 5, write down the values of:
(i) f(0)
(ii) f(7)
(iii) f(– 3).
Sol. Here f(x) = 2x – 5, so
(i) f(0) = 2(0) – 5 = – 5
(ii) f(7) = 2(7) – 5 = 14 – 5 = 9
(iii) f(– 3) = 2(– 3) – 5 = – 6 – 5 = – 11.
4. The function ‘t’ which maps temperature in degree Celsius into temperature in degree Fahrenheit is defined by
$$\textbf{t}(\textbf{C})=\frac{9\textbf{C}}{5}+32.$$
Find:
(i) t(0)
(ii) t(28)
(iii) t(– 10)
(iv) The value of C, when t(C) = 212.
$$\textbf{Sol.}\space\text{Here}\space\text{t(C)}=\frac{9\text{C}}{5}+32, \text{so}\\\text{(i)\space}\text{t(0)}=\frac{9(0)}{5}+32\\= 0 + 32 = 32\\\text{(ii)\space t(28) =}\frac{9(28)}{5}+32\\=\frac{252+160}{5}=\frac{412}{5}\\\text{(iii)\space t(-10)}=\frac{9(-10)}{5}+32\\\text{= 9(– 2) + 32 = 14}\\\text{(iv)\space}\text{If}\space\text{t(C)}=212,\text{then}\\212=\frac{9\text{C}}{5}+32$$
$$\Rarr\space\frac{9\text{C}}{5}=212-32\\\Rarr\space C=\frac{180×5}{9}=100$$
So, if t(C) = 212, then C = 100.
5. Find the range of each of the following functions:
(i) f(x) = 2 – 3x, x ∈ R, x > 0.
(ii) f(x) = x2 + 2, x is a real number.
(iii) f(x) = x, x is a real number.
Sol. (i) Given, x > 0
⇒ 3x > 0
⇒ – 3x < 0
⇒ 2 – 3x < 2
⇒ f(x) < 2
∴ Range of f = (– ∞, 2).
(ii) Given, x is a real number.
∴ x2 ≥ 0
⇒ x2 + 2 ≥ 0 + 2
⇒ f(x) ≥ 2
∴ Range of f = [2, ∞).
(iii) Here, 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 is R.
Miscellaneous Exercise
1. The relation f is defined by
$$\textbf{f(x)}=\begin{cases}x^2,0 \le x \le3 \\3x, 3\le x\le10 \end{cases}$$
The relation g is defined by
$$\textbf{g(x)}=\begin{cases}x^2,0 \le x \le2 \\3x, 2\le x\le10 \end{cases}$$
Show that f is a function and g is not a function.
Sol. Given,
$$\text{f(x)}=\begin{Bmatrix} x^2,0\le x \le3 \\3x, 3\le x \le 10 \end{Bmatrix}$$
at x = 3, f(x) = 32 = 9
or
f(x) = 3 × 3 = 9
So far 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 the images of f(x) are unique.
Thus the given relation is a function
$$\text{g(x)}=\begin{cases}x^2,0 \le x \le2 \\3x, 2\le x\le10 \end{cases}$$
It can observed that for x = 2, g(x) = 22 = 4
or g(x) = 3 × 2 = 6
Here element 2 of the domain of the relation of corresponds to two different images i.e., 4 and 6.
So this relation is not a function.
2. If f(x) = x2,
$$\textbf{find}\space\frac{\textbf{f(1.1)}-\textbf{f(1)}}{\textbf{1.1-1}}.$$
Sol. Here f(x) = x2
$$\text{Therefore}\space\frac{f(1.1)-f(1)}{(1.1-1)}\\=\frac{(1.1)(1)^2}{(0.1)}=2.1$$
3. Find the domain of the function
$$\textbf{f(x)}\textbf{=}\space\frac{\textbf{x}^2+\textbf{2}\textbf{x+1}}{\textbf{x}^2-\textbf{8x+12}}.$$
Sol. Here,
$$\text{f(x)}=\frac{x^2-2x+1}{x^2-8x+12}\\\Rarr\space\text{f(x)}=\frac{x^2+2x+1}{x^2-6x-2x+12}\\=\frac{(x+1)^2}{(x-2)(x-6)}$$
It can be seen that function f is defined for all real numbers except at x = 6 and x = 2.
Since, at x = 6 and x = 2 denomination becomes zero.
So, the domain of f = R – {2, 6}.
4. Find the domain and range of the real function f defined by $$\textbf f{(\textbf{x})}=\sqrt{\textbf{x-1}}.$$
Sol. Given,
$$\text{f(x)}=\sqrt{(x-1)}\\\because\space \sqrt{(x-1)}\space\text{is defined for all x}\ge 1.$$
So, domain of f is [1, ∞].
If x ≥ 1, then x – 1 ≥ 0
$$\text{So, \space f(x)}=\sqrt{x-1}\ge0$$
Therefore, the range of f is [0, ∞).
5. Find the domain and the range of the real function f defined by f(x) = | x – 1 |.
Sol. Given, f(x) = | x – 1|
It is clear that | x – 1 | is defined for all real numbers.
∴ Domain of f is R.
Also, for x ∈ R, | x – 1 | assumes all real numbers.
So, the range of f is the set of all non-negative real numbers.
$$\textbf{6. Let f =} \begin{Bmatrix}\bigg(\textbf{x},\frac{\textbf{x}^2}{\textbf{1+x}^2}\bigg) : \textbf{x}\epsilon \textbf{R} \end{Bmatrix}$$
be a function from R into R. Determine the range of f.
Sol. Here,
$$\text{f =} \begin{Bmatrix}\bigg(\text{x},\frac{\text{x}^2}{\text{1+x}^2}\bigg) :\text{x}\epsilon\text{R} \end{Bmatrix}$$
Since, x2 ≥ 0, ∀ x ∈ R
∴ x2 + 1 > x2
$$\Rarr\space\frac{x^2}{x^2+1}\lt 1$$
⇒ f(x) < 1
$$\text{Also, at x = 0,}\frac{x^2}{1+x^2}=0$$
∴ Range of f = [0, 1).
7. Let f, g : R → R be defined, respectively by f(x) = x + 1, g(x) = 2x – 3
$$\textbf{Find f + g, f – g and}\space\frac{\textbf{f}}{\textbf{g}}.$$
Sol. Given, f : g R → R be defined, respectively by f(x) = x + 1, g(x) = 2x – 3
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.
Sol. 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.
Here, (1, 1) ∈ f
⇒ f(1) = 1
⇒ 1 = a(1) + b
⇒ b = 1 – a …(1)
Similarly, (2, 3) ∈ f
⇒ f(2) = 3
⇒ 3 = a(2) + b
On putting the value of b from equation (1), we get
2a + (1 – a) = 3
⇒ 2a + 1 – a = 3
⇒ a = 2
Now put the value of a in equation (1), we get
b = 1 – a = 1 – 2 = – 1
So, a = 2 and b = – 1.
9. Let R be the a relation from N to N defined by R = {(a, b) : a, b ∈ N and a = b2}. Are the following true?
(i) (a, a) ∈ R, for all a ∈ N
(ii) (a, b) ∈ R implies (b, a) ∈ R
(iii) (a, b) ∈ R, (b, c) ∈ R implies (a, c) ∈ R
Justify your answer in each case.
Sol. Given R = {(a, b) : a, b ∈ N and a = b2}
(i) Here, 3 ∈ N and 32 = 9 ≠ 3. So (a, a) ∈ is not true.
(ii) Here, 9 ∈ N and 32 = 9, so (9, 3) ∈ R. And 3 ∈ N but 92 = 81 ≠ 3. so (3, 9) ∉ R
Hence, the statement (a, b) ∈ R, implies (b, a) ∈ R is not true.
(iii) Here 81 ∈ N and 92 = 81, therefore (81, 9) ∈ R and 9 ∈ N and 32 = 9, therefore (9, 3) ∈ R and 3 ∈ N but 32 = 9 ≠ 81 therefore (81, 3) ∉ R.
Hence, 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.
(ii) f is a function from A to B.
Justify your answer in each case.
Sol. Here A = {1, 2, 3, 4}, B = {1, 5, 9, 11, 15, 16} and f = {(1, 5), (2, 9), (3, 1), (4, 5), (2, 11)}
Therefore A × B = {(1, 1), (1, 5), (1, 8), (1, 11), (1, 15), (1, 16), (2, 1), (2, 5), (2, 9), (2, 11), (2, 15), (2, 16), (3, 1), (3, 5), (3, 9), (3, 11), (3, 15), (3, 16), (4, 1), (4, 5), (4, 9), (4, 11), (4, 15), (4, 16)}
(i) Here, the function f is a subset of (A × B), hence f is a relation from A to B.
(ii) Here element 2 of the domain of the relation f corresponds to two different images 9 and 11
So, this relation is not a function.
11. Let f be the subest of Z × Z defined by
f = {(ab, a + b) : a, b ∈ Z}.
Is f a function from Z to Z?
Justify your answer.
Sol. The relation is defined as
f = {(ab, a + b) : a, b ∈ Z}
We know that a relation f from a set A to a set B is said to be a function if every element at set A has a unique image in set B.
Since 1, 2, – 1, – 2 ∈ Z, (1 × 2, 1 + 2), (– 1 × – 2, – 1 + (– 2)) ∈ f
i.e., (2, 3), (2, – 3) ∈ f
It is clear that the same element 2 corresponds to two different images i.e., 3 and – 3. Thus relation f is not a function.
12. Let A = {9, 10, 11, 12, 13} and let f : A → N defined by f(n) = the highest prime factor of n. Find the range of f.
Sol. Given A = {9, 10, 11, 12, 13} and f : A → N is defined as f(n) = the highest prime factor of n.
Prime factor of 9 = 3
Prime factor of 10 = 2, 5
Prime factor of 11 = 11
Prime factor of 12 = 2, 3
Prime factor of 13 = 13
∴ f(a) = 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 f is the set of all f(x).
where n ∈ A
∴ Range of f = {3, 5, 11, 13}.
