Sketch of curve y = cos-1(4x3 - 3x)

Domain [-1, 1]    range [0, ]
Let   x = cos
y = cos-1(cos3) =
  


This curve has sharp edge at x = ± 1/2. So, not differentiable at x = ± 1/2.


Dumb Question: Why y = cos-1(cos3) = 2 - 3   if   .

Ans: Range of y [0, )   if   3 2. So, it s out of range so, it make it within range, we substract it from 2
and cos(2 - 3) = cos3


Odd and Even functions: A function is said to be an odd function if, f(-x) = - f(x) for all x.
Graph of odd function is symetrical in opposite quadrants. eg.



Even function: A function f(x) is said to be an even of f(-x) = f(x) for all x.
Graph is symmetrical about y-axis.




Properties:

(i) Product of two odd functions or two even functions is an even function.

(ii) Product of odd and even function is an odd function.

(iii) Every function y = f(x) can be expressed as sum of an even and odd function.


Illustration: IF f is an even function, find real values of x satisfying eq. f(x) = f

Ans: Since f(x) is even function
f(x) = f(-x)
Thus, x =   or   - x =
x2 + x - 1 = 0   or   - x2 - 3x - 1 = 0
x =   or   x =
  x =


Periodic Function: A function f(x) is said to be periodic function if, there exists a +ve real no. such that,
f(x + T) = f(x), v x R
Then, f(x) is periodic with period T, where T is least +ve value.
eg. sin x is priodic with period 2.


Illustration: Prove that f(x) = x - [x] is periodic function. Also find its period.

Ans: Let T > 0,
Then, f(x + T) = f(x), v x R
(x + T) - [x + T] = x - [x] v x R
[x + T] - [x] = T v x R
T = 1, 2, 3, 4, .............. {Since substruction of two integer}
Smallest value of T satisfying
f(x + T) = f(x) is 1
So, period with period 1.


Properties of periodic function:

(i) If f(x) is periodic with period T, then,
c.f(x), f(x + c) & f(x) ± c is periodic with period T.
eg. if sin x has period 2. Then f(x) = 5 sinx + 4 is also periodic with period 2.

(ii) If f(x) is periodic with period T, then, kf(cx + d) has period
f(x) = 7 sin2x - 12 has period = as sinx is periodic with period 2.

(iii) If f1(x), f2(x) are periodic functions with periods T1, T2 respectively then; h(x) = af1(x) ± bf2(x) has period as

LCM of
Note: LCM of rational and irrational is not possible. eg. 2 is irrational & 1 is rational.


Composite Function:

LEt two function,
f : x Y1     and     g : Y1 Y


Let another function h : X Y
Such that
h(x) = g(f(x)) = (gof)(x)
domain (gof) = {x : x domain (f), f(x) domain (a)}
domain fog(x) = {x : x domain (g), g(x) domain f}
gof exist iff range of f domain of g
fog exist iff range of g domain of f.


Properties of composite function:

(i) f is even, g is even fog is even function.

(ii) f is odd, g is odd fog is odd function.

(iii) f is even, g is odd fog is even function.

(iv) f is odd, g is even fog is even function.


Illustration: Let g(x) = 1 + x - [x] & f(x) = . Find fog(x).

Ans:     g(x) = 1 + x - [x] = 1 {x}
        g(x) is greater than J.
So, f(g(x)) = 1. since f(x) = 1 for all x > 0
f(g(x)) = 1 for all x R.


Mapping of function: A function exists only if,"to every element in domain there exists unique image in codomain.
f : A B

One - One Mapping (Injective): A function f: A B is said to bwe one-one mapping if different elements of A have different images in B. no two elements of set A can have same 'f' image
eg.

f(x) is one-one


Methods to find one-one mapping:

(1) Graphically: A fun. is one-one if no line 11 to x-axis meets graph of function at more than one point.

By Calculus: If f(x) is function and if f'(x) 0 v x domain i.e. increasing or f'(x) 0 v x domain i.e. decreasing, then one-one.

No. of one-one Mapping: If A & B are finite sets having m & h elements, then, no. of one-one function from A to B





Dumb Question: How No. of one-one mapping is nPm if n m.

Ans: x1 can take n images
       x2 can take (n - 1) images
       .....................................
       .....................................
       .....................................
       .....................................
       xm can take (n - m + 1) images
    No. of mapping = n(n - 1)(n - 2) ............... (n - m + 1) = nPm


Many one Mapping: A mapping f : A B is many one if two or more elements of set A have the same image in B.

i.e. f(x3) = f(x4) = y3


Onto Function (Surjective): If function f : A B is such that each element of B is the 'f' image of at least one element in A.
i.e. range of f = codomain   f(A) = B

Into Function: A function of f : A B is into if there exists an element in B having no preimage in A.

No. of one-one onto mapping (bijection): If A & B are finite sets & f : A B is a bijection.
Then A & B have same no. of elements.


Total no. of bijection A B = n !


Dumb Question: How total no. of bijection A B = n ! ?

Ans: x1 can take n images
       x2 can take (n - 1) images
       x3 can take (n - 2) images
       .....................................
       .....................................
       .....................................
       xm can take 1 images
    No. of mapping = n(n - 1)(n - 2) ............... 1 = n !
