fter completing this chapter you should be able to
represent a mapping by a diagram, by an equation
and by a graph
understand the terms function, domain and range
combine two or more functions to make a composite
function
know the difference between a ‘one to one’ and
’many to one’ function
know how to find the inverse of a function
know the relationship between the graph of a
function and its inverse.
A mapping transforms one set of numbers into a different set of numbers. The
‘mapping can be described in words or through an algebraic equation. It can also
bbe represented by a Cartesian graph.
Draw mapping diagrams and graphs for the following operations:
