one but is onto.
MATERIAL REQUIRED.
Cardboard, nails, strings, adhesive and
plastic strips.
METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
1. Paste a plastic strip on the left hand side of
the cardboard and fix three nails
on it as shown in the Fig.3.1. Name the nails on
the strip as 1, 2 and 3.
2. Paste another strip on the right hand side of
the cardboard and fix two nails in
the plastic strip as shown in Fig.3.2. Name the
nails on the strip as a and b.
3. Join nails on the left strip to the nails on the
right strip as shown in Fig. 3.3.
OBSERVATION
1. The image of the element 1 of X in Y is __________.
The image of the element 2 of X in Y is __________.
The image of the element 3 of X in Y is __________.
So, Fig 3.3 represents a __________ .
2. Every element in X has a _________ image in Y. So, the function
is_________(one-one/not one-one).
3. The pre-image of each element of Y in X _________ (exists/does
not exist).
So, the function is ________ (onto/not onto).
APPLICATION
This activity can be used to demonstrate the concept of one-one and
onto function.

OBJECTIVE
To draw the graph of sin x -1 , using the graph of
sin x and demonstrate the concept of mirror
reflection (about the line y = x).
MATERIAL REQUIRED
Cardboard, white chart paper, ruler, coloured
pens, adhesive, pencil ,eraser, cutter, nails and thin
wires.
1. Take a cardboard of suitable dimensions, say, 30 cm × 30
cm.
2. On the cardboard, paste a white chart paper of size 25 cm
× 25 cm (say).
3. On the paper, draw two lines, perpendicular to each
other and name them XꞌOX and YOY ꞌas rectangular axes
[see Fig].
Graduate the axes approximately as shown in Fig. 5.1 by
taking unit on
X-axis = 1.25 times the unit of Y-axis.
5. Mark approximately the points (π/6,sin π/6) ,(π/4,sin π/4)
…. (π/2 , sin π/2) in the coordinate plane and at each
point fix a nail.
6. Repeat the above process on the other side of the x-axis, Marking
the points ( -π/6,sin - π/6) ,(-π/4,sin -π/4)…. (-π/2 , sin -π/2)
approximately and fix nails
on these points as N ꞌ1 ,N ꞌ2 ,N ꞌ3 and N ꞌ4 . Also fix a nail at O.
7. Join the nails with the help of a tight wire on both sides of x-axis to
get the graph of sin x from (-π/2 to π/2 )
8. Draw the graph of the line y = x (by plotting the points (1,1), (2, 2),
(3, 3), ...etc. and fixing a wire on these points).
9. From the nails N 1, N 2 ,N 3 ,N 4 draw perpendicular on the line y =
x and produce these lines such that length of perpendicular on both
sides of the line y = x are equal. At these points fix nails,I1 ,I2 ,I3,I4.
10. Repeat the above activity on the other side of X- axis and fix nails
at I ꞌ1 , ,I ꞌ2 ,I ꞌ3 and I ꞌ4 .
11. Join the nails on both sides of the line y = x by a tight wire that
will show the graph of y = sin -1 x .

The image point of Nꞌ2 in the mirror (the line y = x) is _________.

the hardboard.
2. Find some ordered pairs satisfying the function
y = log10x. Using log tables/
calculator and draw the graph of the function on the graph
paper (see Fig.)
