ii. and

Solution:
i. and

ii. and

Question 4:

If , show that . What is the reverse of ?

Solution:

Hence, the given function is invertible and the inverse of is itself.

Question 5:
State with reason whether the following functions have inverse.
i. with
ii. with
iii. with

Solution:
i. with
is a many one function as
is not one-one.
Function does not have an inverse.

ii. with
is a many one function as
is not one-one.
Function does not have an inverse.

iii. with
All distinct elements of the set have distinct images under .
is one-one.
is onto since for every element of the set , there exists an
element in the set , such that .
is a one-one and onto function.
Function has an inverse.

Question 6:

Show that , given by is one-one. Find the inverse of the function

.

(Hint: For , for some in , i,e.,

Solution:

, given by
For one-one

is a one-one function.
It is clear that is onto.
is one-one and onto and therefore, the inverse of the function
exists.

Let be the inverse of .

Let be an arbitrary element of range .
Since is onto, we have:

Now, let us define as

Now,
Question 7:
Consider given by . Show that is invertible. Find the inverse of .

Solution:
given by
For one-one

is a one-one function.

For onto

Therefore, for any , there exists such that

is onto.

Thus, f is one-one and onto and therefore, exists.

Let us define by
Now,

Hence, is invertible and the inverse of is given by

Question 8:
Consider given by .Show that is invertible with inverse of
given by , where is the set of all non-negative real numbers.

Solution:
given by
For one-one:
Let

is a one -one function.

For onto:
For

Therefore, for any , there exists such that

is an onto function.

Thus, is one-one and onto and therefore, exists.

Let us define by
Now,

And

Hence, is invertible and the inverse of is given by

.

Question 9:
Consider given by .Show that is invertible with

Solution:
given by
Let be an arbitrary element of .
Let

is onto, thereby range .

Let us define

We have,
And,

Hence, is invertible and the inverse of is given by

Question 10:
Let be an invertible function. Show that has unique inverse.
(Hint: suppose and are two inverses of . Then for all ,
. Use one-one ness of .

Solution:
Let be an invertible function.
Also suppose has two inverses ( and )
Then, for all ,

Hence, has unique inverse.

Question 11:

Consider given by . Find .

Solution:
Function given by
If we define as

And,

where

Thus, the inverse of exists and .

is given by,

We need to find the inverse of i.e., inverse of .

If we define as

And,

where
Thus, the inverse of exists and .
It can be noted that .
Hence,

Question 12:
Let be an invertible function. Show that the inverse of is i.e., .

Solution:

Let be an invertible function.

Then there exists a function such that
Here,
Now,

Hence, is invertible and is i.e., .

Question 13:

If is given by , then is:

A.
B.
C.
D.

Solution:

is given by
The correct answer is C.

Question 14:

If be a function defined as . The inverse of is the map

given by :

A.

B.

C.

D.

Solution:

It is given that is defined as

Let be an arbitrary element of Range .

Then, there exists such that .

Define as
Now,
And

Thus, is the inverse of i.e.,

Hence, the inverse of is the map , which is given by .

The correct answer is B.
