    Functions take an input and produce a unique output. They are defined by a domain of inputs and a range of outputs. A function can be represented by a rule that associates each element in one set to a unique element in another set. Independent variables are what a function is based on, while dependent variables are the outputs that depend on the independent variables. Compound functions apply one function to the output of another. Properties of basic functions like modulus, quadratic, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions can be seen in their graphs.

    FUNCTIONS

    I
    Functions are just like machines , which gives a unique output for each input that is fed into it.
    But one should think that each machine has certain input corresponding to which it gives unique
    output . The inputs are nothing but the domain of the function and outputs are range of the
    functions . Only those inputs are domain corresponding to which functions gives defined outputs .

    Lets take an example , we have seen a weighing machine. Suppose it has capacity to weight and
    print upto 200Kg . If a person stands on it , the machine gives a card printed on it the weight of
    that person . But if a very fat person weighing 250 Kgs stands on it the machine fails to record
    his weight , why ? Because 250 kg is beyond its capacity . Hence, goods weighing 0-250 kgs are in
    its domain . A B

    ‘f’ is rule which associates each element of


    set A with unique elements of set B in the
    figure. p 1
    Set A = Domain of ‘f’ ={ p,q,r,s} q 2
    Range of ‘f’ = {1,2,3} R 3
    Set B = Co-domain of ‘f’ ={1,2,3,4} s 4

    In general Range is subset of co-domain of


    a function.
    Independent and Dependent Variables

    Area of a circle is a function of its radius i.e A= 𝜋𝑟 2 .Here , r is an independent variable


    and A is dependent variable (it is dependent on r).

    Q1. If f(x) = 𝑥 2 − 2, what is the value of f 5 ?

    Sol:
    𝑓 5 = 52 − 2 = 25 − 2 = 23
    𝑧
    Q2. If 𝑓 2 = 𝑧 2 − , 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑓 𝑤 + 6 ?
    3
    𝑤+6
    Sol: 𝑓 𝑤 + 6 = 𝑤 + 6 2 − 3
    𝑤 6
    = 𝑤+6 𝑤+6 − +
    3 3
    𝑤
    = 𝑤 2 + 12𝑤 + 36 − 3 − 2
    2
    = 𝑤 2 + 11 3 𝑤 + 34
    Q3. If 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥 3 + 𝑥 & 𝑔 𝑥 = 4𝑥 − 3, 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑓 𝑔 3 ?

    Sol: 𝑔 3 = 4 3 − 3 = 12 − 3 = 9 ;
    𝑓 𝑔 3 = 𝑓 9 = 93 + 9 = 729 + 3 = 732

    f(g(3)) is pronounced as ‘ f of g of 3 ‘ . Always move from inside bracket to outside for solving .

    Q4. Q3. If 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑥 3 + 𝑥 & 𝑔 𝑥 = 4𝑥 − 3, 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑔 𝑓 3 ?

    Sol. 𝑓 3 = 32 + 3 = 27 + 3 ;
    𝑔 𝑓 3 = 𝑔 27 + 3 = 4 27 + 3 − 3 = 108 + 4 3 − 3
    =105 + 4 3

    In general f(g(x)) and g(f(x)) are not the same overall and will lead to different outcomes
    generally. These are called compound functions, you can think of it like transformation one
    after the other depending on the number of functions present .
    Q5. If 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑎𝑥 2 − 𝑥, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑓 4 = 28 , 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑓 −2 ?

    Sol: 𝑓 4 = 𝑎 4 2 − 4 = 28
    =16𝑎 − 4 = 28
    =16𝑎 = 32𝑎 = 2 , then rewrite the function 𝑓 𝑥 = 𝑎𝑥 2 − 𝑥
    = 2𝑥 2 − 𝑥 = 𝑓 −2
    = 2 −2 2 − −2
    = 8 + 2 = 10
