FUNCTIONS

Short Note: -
• Relations
1. One -one
2. Many-one
3. One-many
4. Many-many
• Function
Only one-one and many-one relations are called as functions.

• Notation

𝑌 = 𝑓(𝑋) , X- Independent Variable and Y-Dependent Variable

𝑓: 𝑋 → 𝑌

• Equality of two functions

Consider f and g are rules of two functions.

When 𝑓(𝑋) = 𝑔(𝑋),

Should be Df=Dg and Rf=Rg

• Algebraic Operations on Functions

1. (𝒇 ∓ 𝒈)(𝑿) = 𝒇(𝑿) ∓ 𝒈(𝑿)


2. (𝒇𝒈)(𝑿) = 𝒇(𝑿)𝒈(𝑿)
3. (𝒇⁄𝒈)(𝑿) = 𝒇(𝑿)⁄𝒈(𝑿)
4. 𝒇𝒈(𝑿) = 𝒇[𝒈(𝑿)]
5. 𝒇𝟐 (𝑿) = 𝒇(𝒇(𝑿))
6. (𝒇𝒐𝒈)(𝑿) = 𝒇[𝒈(𝑿)] and (𝒈𝒐𝒇)(𝑿) = 𝒈[𝒇(𝑿)]

• Special functions
1. Even function
If 𝒇(−𝑿) = 𝒇(𝑿), 𝒇(𝑿) is an Evan function. This graph is always symmetric to the Y axis.
2. Odd function
If 𝒇(−𝑿) = −𝒇(𝑿), 𝒇(𝑿) is an odd function. This graph is symmetric to the origin
3. One-One function
let 𝑓: 𝑋 → 𝑌 and 𝑋1 , 𝑋2 𝜖𝑋,
When 𝒇(𝑿𝟏 ) = 𝒇(𝑿𝟐 ) , 𝑿𝟏 = 𝑿𝟐 , 𝑓(𝑋) is a One-One Function
4. Onto function
When Co-domain equals to the range, it is an onto function.
5. Invers of a function

If 𝑓: 𝑋 → 𝑌 , 𝑌 = 𝑓(𝑋) , 𝑔: 𝑌 → 𝑋 is called as the inverse of 𝑓(𝑋) [𝑓 −1 (𝑋)]

𝑔 = 𝑓 −1
To exists an Inverse of a function, the function must be One-One and onto function.

6. Modulus function
|𝑓|(𝑋) or |𝑓(𝑋)|
