Reason: Every element of set A has been assigned a unique image in set B.

Question 3.
Check if the relation given by the equation represents y as function of x.
(i) 2x + 3y = 12
(ii) x + y2 = 9
(iii) x2 – y = 25
(iv) 2y + 10 = 0
(v) 3x – 6 = 21
Solution:
(i) 2x + 3y = 12
∴ y = \(\frac{12-2 x}{3}\)
∴ For every value of x, there is a unique value of y.
∴ y is a function of x.

(ii) x + y2 = 9
∴ y2 = 9 – x
∴ y = ±\(\sqrt{9-x}\)
∴ For one value of x, there are two values of y.
∴ y is not a function of x.

(iii) x2 – y = 25
∴ y = x2 – 25
∴ For every value of x, there is a unique value of y.
∴ y is a function of x.

(iv) 2y + 10 = 0
∴ y = -5
∴ For every value of x, there is a unique value of y.
∴ y is a function of x.

(v) 3x – 6 = 21
∴ x = 9
∴ x = 9 represents a point on the X-axis.
There is no y involved in the equation.
So the given equation does not represent a function.

(iv) f(x + 1)
(v) f(-x)
(vi) \(\left(\frac{\mathbf{f}(2+h)-f(2)}{h}\right)\), h ≠ 0.
Solution:
f(m) = m2 – 3m + 1
(i) f(0) = 02 – 3(0) + 1 = 1

(ii) f (-3) = (-3)2 – 3(-3) + 1
= 9 + 9 + 1
= 19

(iii) f(\(\frac{1}{2}\)) = \(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}-3\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)+1\)
= \(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{3}{2}+1\)
= \(\frac{1-6+4}{4}\)
= \(-\frac{1}{4}\)

(iv) f(x + 1) = (x + 1)2 – 3(x + 1) + 1
= x2 + 2x + 1 – 3x – 3 + 1
= x2 – x – 1

(v) f(-x) = (-x)2 – 3(-x) + 1 = x2 + 3x + 1

(vi) \(\left(\frac{\mathbf{f}(2+h)-f(2)}{h}\right)\)
= \(\frac{(2+h)^{2}-3(2+h)+1-\left(2^{2}-3(2)+1\right)}{h}\)
= \(\frac{\mathrm{h}^{2}+\mathrm{h}}{\mathrm{h}}\)
= h + 1

Question 5.
Find x, if g(x) = 0 where
(i) g(x) = \(\frac{5 x-6}{7}\)
(ii) g(x) = \(\frac{18-2 x^{2}}{7}\)
(iii) g(x) = 6x2 + x – 2
(iv) g(x) = x3 – 2x2 – 5x + 6
Solution:
(i) g(x) = \(\frac{5 x-6}{7}\)
g(x) = 0
∴ \(\frac{5 x-6}{7}\) = 0
∴ x = \(\frac{6}{5}\)

(ii) g(x) = \(\frac{18-2 x^{2}}{7}\)
g(x) = 0
\(\frac{18-2 x^{2}}{7}\) = 0
∴ 18 – 2x2 = 0
∴ x2 = 9
∴ x = ±3

(iii) g(x) = 6x2 + x – 2
g(x) = 0
∴ 6x2 + x – 2 = 0
∴ (2x – 1) (3x + 2) = 0
∴ 2x – 1 = 0 or 3x + 2 = 0
∴ x = \(\frac{1}{2}\) or x = \(\frac{-2}{3}\)

(iv) g(x) = x3 – 2x2 – 5x + 6
= ( x- 1) (x2 – x – 6)
= (x – 1) (x + 2) (x – 3)
g(x) = 0
∴ (x – 1) (x + 2) (x – 3) = 0
∴ x – 1 = 0 or x + 2 = 0 or x – 3 = 0
∴ x = 1, -2, 3

Question 6.
Find x, if f(x) = g(x) where
(i) f(x) = x4 + 2x2, g(x) = 11x2
(ii) f(x) = √x – 3, g(x) = 5 – x
Solution:
(i) f(x) = x4 + 2x2, g(x) = 11x2
f(x) = g(x)
∴ x4 + 2x2 = 11x2
∴ x4 – 9x2 = 0
∴ x2 (x2 – 9) = 0
∴ x2 = 0 or x2 – 9 = 0
∴ x = 0 or x2 = 9
∴ x = 0, ±3

(ii) f(x) = √x – 3, g(x) = 5 – x
f(x) = g(x)
∴ √x – 3 = 5 – x
∴ √x = 5 – x + 3
∴ √x = 8 – x
on squaring, we get
x = 64 + x2 – 16x
∴ x2 – 17x + 64 = 0
∴ x = \(\frac{17 \pm \sqrt{(-17)^{2}-4(64)}}{2}\)
∴ x = \(\frac{17 \pm \sqrt{289-256}}{2}\)
∴ x = \(\frac{17 \pm \sqrt{33}}{2}\)

Question 7.
If f(x) = \(\frac{a-x}{b-x}\), f(2) is undefined, and f(3) = 5, find a and b.
Solution:
f(x) = \(\frac{a-x}{b-x}\)
Given that,
f(2) is undefined
b – 2 = 0
∴ b = 2 …..(i)
f(3) = 5
∴ \(\frac{a-3}{b-3}\) = 5
∴ \(\frac{a-3}{2-3}\) = 5 ….. [From (i)]
∴ a – 3 = -5
∴ a = -2
∴ a = -2, b = 2

Question 8.
Find the domain and range of the following functions.
(i) f(x) = 7x2 + 4x – 1
Solution:
f(x) = 7x2 + 4x – 1
f is defined for all x.
∴ Domain of f = R (i.e., the set of real numbers)
Maharashtra Board 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Functions Ex 6.1 Q8 (i)
∴ Range of f = [\(-\frac{11}{7}\), ∞)

(ii) g(x) = \(\frac{x+4}{x-2}\)
Solution:
g(x) = \(\frac{x+4}{x-2}\)
Function g is defined everywhere except at x = 2.
∴ Domain of g = R – {2}
Let y = g(x) = \(\frac{x+4}{x-2}\)
∴ (x – 2) y = x + 4
∴ x(y – 1) = 4 + 2y
∴ For every y, we can find x, except for y = 1.
∴ y = 1 ∉ range of function g
∴ Range of g = R – {1}

(iii) h(x) = \(\frac{\sqrt{x+5}}{5+x}\)
Solution:
h(x) = \(\frac{\sqrt{x+5}}{5+x}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+5}}\), x ≠ -5
For x = -5, function h is not defined.
∴ x + 5 > 0 for function h to be well defined.
∴ x > -5
∴ Domain of h = (-5, ∞)
Let y = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+5}}\)
∴ y > 0
Range of h = (0, ∞) or R+

(iv) f(x) = \(\sqrt[3]{x+1}\)
Solution:
f(x) = \(\sqrt[3]{x+1}\)
f is defined for all real x and the values of f(x) ∈ R
∴ Domain of f = R, Range of f = R

Maharashtra Board 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Functions Ex 6.1

(v) f(x) = \(\sqrt{(x-2)(5-x)}\)
Solution:
f(x) = \(\sqrt{(x-2)(5-x)}\)
For f to be defined,
(x – 2)(5 – x) ≥ 0
∴ (x – 2)(x – 5) ≤ 0
∴ 2 ≤ x ≤ 5 ……[∵ The solution of (x – a) (x – b) ≤ 0 is a ≤ x ≤ b, for a < b]
∴ Domain of f = [2, 5]
(x – 2) (5 – x) = -x2 + 7x – 10
= \(-\left(x-\frac{7}{2}\right)^{2}+\frac{49}{4}-10\)
= \(\frac{9}{4}-\left(x-\frac{7}{2}\right)^{2} \leq \frac{9}{4}\)
∴ \(\sqrt{(x-2)(5-x)} \leq \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}} \leq \frac{3}{2}\)
Range of f = [0, \(\frac{3}{2}\)]

(vi) f(x) = \(\sqrt{\frac{x-3}{7-x}}\)
Solution:
f(x) = \(\sqrt{\frac{x-3}{7-x}}\)
For f to be defined,
\(\sqrt{\frac{x-3}{7-x}}\) ≥ 0, 7 – x ≠ 0
∴ \(\sqrt{\frac{x-3}{7-x}}\) ≤ 0 and x ≠ 7
∴ 3 ≤ x < 7
Let a < b, \(\frac{x-a}{x-b}\) ≤ 0 ⇒ a ≤ x < b
∴ Domain of f = [3, 7)
f(x) ≥ 0 … [∵ The value of square root function is non-negative]
∴ Range of f = [0, ∞)

(vii) f(x) = \(\sqrt{16-x^{2}}\)
Solution:
f(x) = \(\sqrt{16-x^{2}}\)
For f to be defined,
16 – x2 ≥ 0
∴ x2 ≤ 16
∴ -4 ≤ x ≤ 4
∴ Domain of f = [-4, 4]
Clearly, f(x) ≥ 0 and the value of f(x) would be maximum when the quantity subtracted from 16 is minimum i.e. x = 0
∴ Maximum value of f(x) = √16 = 4
∴ Range of f = [0, 4]

Question 9.
Express the area A of a square as a function of its
(a) side s
(b) perimeter P
Solution:
(a) area (A) = s2
(b) perimeter (P) = 4s
∴ s = \(\frac{\mathrm{P}}{4}\)
Area (A) = s2 = \(\left(\frac{\mathrm{P}}{4}\right)^{2}\)
∴ A = \(\frac{\mathrm{P}^{2}}{16}\)

Maharashtra Board 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Functions Ex 6.1

Question 10.
Express the area A of a circle as a function of its
(i) radius r
(ii) diameter d
(iii) circumference C
Solution:
(i) Area (A) = πr2

(ii) Diameter (d) = 2r
∴ r = \(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{2}\)
∴ Area (A) = πr2 = \(\frac{\pi \mathrm{d}^{2}}{4}\)

(iii) Circumference (C) = 2πr
∴ r = \(\frac{C}{2 \pi}\)
Area (A) = πr2 = \(\pi\left(\frac{\mathrm{C}}{2 \pi}\right)^{2}\)
∴ A = \(\frac{C^{2}}{4 \pi}\)

Breadth of the box = 30 – 2x
Height of the box = x
Volume = (30 – 2x)2 x, x < 15, x ≠ 15, x > 0
= 4x(15 – x)2, x ≠ 15, x > 0
Domain (0, 15)

Question 12.
Let f be a subset of Z × Z defined by f = {(ab, a + b): a, b ∈ Z}. Is f a function from Z to Z? Justify?
Solution:
f = {(ab, a + b): a, b ∈ Z}
Let a = 1, b = 1. Then, ab = 1, a + b = 2
∴ (1, 2) ∈ f
Let a = -1, b = -1. Then, ab = 1, a + b = -2
∴ (1, -2) ∈ f
Since (1, 2) ∈ f and (1, -2) ∈ f,
f is not a function as element 1 does not have a unique image.

Question 13.
Check the injectivity and surjectivity of the following functions.
(i) f : N → N given by f(x) = x2
Solution:
f: N → N given by f(x) = x2
Maharashtra Board 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Functions Ex 6.1 Q13 (i)
∴ f is injective.
For every y = x2 ∈ N, there does not exist x ∈ N.
Example: 7 ∈ N (codomain) for which there is no x in domain N such that x2 = 7
∴ f is not surjective.

(ii) f : Z → Z given by f(x) = x2
Solution:
f: Z → Z given by f(x) = x2
Maharashtra Board 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Functions Ex 6.1 Q13 (ii)
∴ f is not injective.
(Example: f(-2) = 4 = f(2). So, -2, 2 have the same image. So, f is not injective.)
Since x2 ≥ 0,
f(x) ≥ 0
Therefore all negative integers of codomain are not images under f.
∴ f is not surjective.

(iii) f : R → R given by f(x) = x2
Solution:
f : R → R given by f(x) = x2
Maharashtra Board 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Functions Ex 6.1 Q13 (iii)

g is a one-one function.
Let g(y1) = g(y2)
Then, y1 = y2 for all y1, y2 …..(ii)
Let (gof) (x1) = (gof) (x2)
∴ g(f(x1)) = g(f(x2))
∴ g(y1) = g(y2),
where y1 = f(x1), y2 = f(x2) ∈ B
∴ y1 = y2 …..[From (ii)]
i.e., f(x1) = f(x2)
∴ x1 = x2 ….[From (i)]
∴ gof is one-one.

Question 15.
Show that if f : A → B and g : B → C are onto, then gof is also onto.
Solution:
Since g is surjective (onto),
there exists y ∈ B for every z ∈ C such that
g(y) = z …….(i)
Since f is surjective,
there exists x ∈ A for every y ∈ B such that
f(x) = y …….(ii)
(gof) x = g(f(x))
= g(y) ……[From (ii)]
= z …..[From(i)]
i.e., for every z ∈ C, there is x in A such that (gof) x = z
∴ gof is surjective (onto).

Question 16.
If f(x) = 3(4x+1), find f(-3).

f is defined, when x – 5 > 0
∴ x > 5
∴ Domain of f = (5, ∞)

(ii) f(x) = log10 (x2 – 5x + 6)
x2 – 5x + 6 = (x – 2) (x – 3)
f is defined, when (x – 2) (x – 3) > 0

Question 24.
If f(x) = ax2 – bx + 6 and f(2) = 3 and f(4) = 30, find a and b.
Solulion:
f(x) = ax2 – bx + 6
f(2) = 3
∴ a(2)2 – b(2) + 6 = 3
∴ 4a – 2b + 6 = 3
∴ 4a – 2b + 3 = 0 …..(i)
f(4) = 30
∴ a(4)2 – b(4) + 6 = 30
∴ 16a – 4b + 6 = 30
∴ 16a – 4b – 24 = 0 …..(ii)
By (ii) – 2 × (i), we get
8a – 30 = 0
∴ a = \(\frac{30}{8}=\frac{15}{4}\)
Substiting a = \(\frac{15}{4}\) in (i), we get
4(\(\frac{15}{4}\)) – 2b + 3 = 0
∴ 2b = 18
∴ b = 9
∴ a = \(\frac{15}{4}\), b = 9

Question 25.
Solve for x:
(i) log 2 + log (x + 3) – log (3x – 5) = log 3
Solution:
log 2 + log (x + 3) – log (3x – 5) = log 3
∴ log 2(x + 3) – log(3x – 5) = log 3 …..[∵ log m + log n = log mn]
∴ log \(\frac{2(x+3)}{3 x-5}\) = log 3 …..[∵ log m – log n = log \(\frac{m}{n}\)]
∴ \(\frac{2(x+3)}{3 x-5}\) = 3
∴ 2x + 6 = 9x – 15
∴ 7x = 21
∴ x = 3

Check:
If x = 3 satisfies the given condition, then our answer is correct.
L.H.S. = log 2 + log (x + 3) – log (3x – 5)
= log 2 + log (3 + 3) – log (9 – 5)
= log 2 + log 6 – log 4
= log (2 × 6) – log 4
= log \(\frac{12}{4}\)
= log 3
= R.H.S.
Thus, our answer is correct.

∴ x2 = 10x + 11
∴ x2 – 10x – 11 = 0
∴ (x – 11)(x + 1) = 0
∴ x = 11 or x = -1
But log of a negative numbers does not exist
∴ x ≠ -1
∴ x = 11

(iv) x + log10 (1 + 2x) = x log10 5 + log10 6
Solution:
Maharashtra Board 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Functions Ex 6.1 Q25 (iv)
∴ a + a2 = 6
∴ a2 + a – 6 = 0
∴ (a + 3)(a – 2) = 0
∴ a + 3 = 0 or a – 2 = 0
∴ a = -3 or a = 2
Since 2x = -3 is not possible,
2x = 2 = 21
∴ x = 1
