Answer:
Given; f(x) = 2x – 5
f(0) = -5;
f(7) = 2(7) – 5 = 14 – 5 = 9
f(-3) = 2(-3) – 5 = -6 – 5 = -11
Question 4.

- f(x) = x, x is a real number. (1)
Answer:
- Given; f(x) = 2 – 3x is a first degree polynomial function, therefore the range is R.
- Given; f(x) = x2 + 2, The range of x2 is [0, ∞) , then the range of f(x) = x2 + 2 is [2, ∞)
- Given; f(x) = x is the identity function, therefore the range is R.

Question 1.
Let A = {1, 2}, B = {1, 2, 3, 4}, C = {5, 6} and D = {5, 6, 7, 8}. Verify that
- A × (B ∩ C) = (A × B) ∩ (A × C) (2)
- A × C is a subset of B × D (2)
Answer:
1. A × (B ∩ C) ={1, 2} × Φ = Φ
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)}
(A × B) ∩ (A × C) = Φ
Hence; A × (B ∩ C) = (A × B) ∩ (A × C)
2. A × C = {(1, 5), (1, 6), (2, 5), (2, 6)}
B × D = {1, 2, 3, 4} × {5, 6, 7, 8}
= {(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)}
Hence A × C is a subset of B × D.

Question 2.
The arrow diagram given below shows a relation R from P to Q. Write the relation in roster form, set-builder form. Find its domain and range.

Answer:
R – {(9, -3), (9, 3), (4, -2), (4, 2), (25, -5), (25, 5)}
R = {{x, y) : y2 = x}
Domain of R = {9, 4, 25}
Range of R = {5, 3, 2, -2, -3, -5}
Question 3.
Find the domain of the following.
- f(x) = \(\frac{x^{2}+2 x+1}{x^{2}-8 x+12}\) (2)
- f(x) = \(\frac{x^{2}+3 x+5}{x^{2}-5 x+4}\) (2)
Answer:
1. Given; f(x) = \(\frac{x^{2}+2 x+1}{x^{2}-8 x+12}\)
The function is not defined at points where the denominator becomes zero.
x2 – 8x +12 = 0 ⇒ (x – 6)(x – 2) = 0 ⇒ x = 2, 6
Therefore domain of fis R – {2, 6}.
2. Given; f(x) = \(\frac{x^{2}+3 x+5}{x^{2}-5 x+4}\)
The function is not defined at points where the denominator becomes zero.
x2 – 5x + 4 = 0 ⇒ (x – 4)(x -1) = 0 ⇒ x = 1, 4
Therefore domain of f is R – {1, 4}.

Question 4.
Let f(x) = \(=\sqrt{x}\) and g(x) = x be two functions defined over the set of nonnegative real numbers. Find (f + g)(x), (f – g)(x), (fg)(x) and \(\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(x)\).
Answer:
(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = \(=\sqrt{x}\) + x
(f – g)(x) = f(x) – g(x) = \(=\sqrt{x}\) – x
(fg)(x) = f(x) × g(x) = \(=\sqrt{x}\) × x = \(x^{\frac{3}{2}}\)

Question 5.
Let f(x) = x2 and g(x) = 2x + 1 be two functions defined over the set of nonnegative real numbers. Find (f + g)(x), (f – g)(x), (fg)(x) and \(\left(\frac{f}{g}\right)(x)\).
Answer:
(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = x2 + 2x + 1
(f – g)(x) = f(x) – g(x) = x2 – 2x – 1
f(fg)(x) = f(x) × g(x)
= x2(2x +1) = 2x3 + x2

Question 2.
Find the domain and range of the following

Answer:
i) Given; f(x) = -|x|
D(f) = R, R(f) = (-∞, 0]
ii) Given; f(x) = \(\sqrt{9-x^{2}}\)
x can take values where 9 – x2 > 0
⇒ x2 ≤ 9 ⇒ -3 ≤ x ≤ 3 ⇒ x ∈ [-3, 3]
Therefore domain of f is [-3, 3]
Put \(\sqrt{9-x^{2}}\) = y, where y ≥ 0
⇒ 9 – x2 = y2⇒ x2 = 9 – y2
⇒ x = \(\sqrt{9-x^{2}}\)
⇒ 9 – y2 ≥ 0 ⇒ y2 ≤ 9 ⇒ -3 ≤ y ≤ 3
Therefore range of fis [0, 3].
iii) Given; f(x) = |x – 1|
Domain of f is R
The range of |x| is [0, ∞) , then the range of
f(x) = |x -1| is [0, ∞)
iv) Given; f(x) = \(\sqrt{x-1}\)
x can take values where x – 1 ≥ 0
⇒ x ≥ 1 ⇒ x ∈ [1, ∞]
Therefore domain of fis [1, ∞]
The range of \(\sqrt{x}\) is [0, ∞), then the range of
f(x) = \(\sqrt{x-1}\) is [0, ∞).

Question 7.
Let \(\left\{\left(x, \frac{x^{2}}{1+x^{2}}\right), x \in R\right\}\) be a real function from R to R. Determine the domain and range of f.
Answer:
Domain of f is R.
Let \(\frac{x^{2}}{1+x^{2}}\) = y ⇒ x2 = y(1 + x2)
⇒ x2 = y + yx2 ⇒ x2 – yx2 = y
⇒ x2(1 – y) = y

⇒ y ≥ 0, 1 – y > 0
⇒ y ≥ 0, y < 1 ⇒ 0 ≤ y ≤ 1
Therefore range of f is [0, 1).
