35. Let f be the subset of Z × Z defined by f = {(ab, a + b) : a, b _ Z}. Is f a function from Z to Z? Justify your answer.
35. Let f be the subset of Z × Z defined by f = {(ab, a + b) : a, b _ Z}. Is f a function from Z to Z? Justify your answer.
35. Given, f={(ab, a+b): a, b z}
Let a=1 and b=1; a, b z.
So, ab=1 × 1=1
a+b=1+1=2.
So, we have the order pair (1,2).
Now, let a= –1 and b= –1; a, b z
So, ab=(–1) × (–1)=1
a+b=(–1)+(–1)= –2
So, the ordered pair is (1,
34. Let A ={1,2,3,4}, B = {1,5,9,11,15,16} and f = {(1,5), (2,9), (3,1), (4,5), (2,11)} Are the following true?
(i) f is a relation from A to B
(ii) f is a function from A to B.
Justify your answer in each case.
34. Let A ={1,2,3,4}, B = {1,5,9,11,15,16} and f = {(1,5), (2,9), (3,1), (4,5), (2,11)} Are the following true?
(i) f is a relation from A to B
(ii) f is a function from A to B.
Justify your answer in each case.
34. Given,
A={1,2,3,4}
B={1,5,9,11,15,16}
f={(1,5),(2,9),(3,1),(4,5),(2,11)}.
(i) As every element of f is an element of A × B
We can clearly say that f A × B.
?f is a relation from A to B.
(ii) As the element 2 of the domain has two image i.e., 9 and 11. f is not a function.
33. Let R be a relation from N to N defined by R = {(a, b) : a, b N and a = b2}. Are the following true?
(i) (a,a) R, for all a _ N
(ii) (a,b) R, implies (b,a) R
(iii) (a,b) R, (b,c) R implies (a,c) R.
Justify your answer in each case.
33. Let R be a relation from N to N defined by R = {(a, b) : a, b N and a = b2}. Are the following true?
(i) (a,a) R, for all a _ N
(ii) (a,b) R, implies (b,a) R
(iii) (a,b) R, (b,c) R implies (a,c) R.
Justify your answer in each case.
33. Given, R= { (a, b): a, b N and a = b2}
(i) Let a = 2 N
Then b = 22 = 4 N
but a ≠ b.
Hence the given statement is not true.
(ii) For a=b2 the inverse b=a2 may not hold true
Example (4,2) R, a=4, b=2 and a=b2
but (2,4) R.
Hence, the given statement is not true.
(iii) I
32. Let f = {(1,1), (2,3), (0,–1), (–1, –3)} be a function from Z to Z defined by f(x) = ax + b, for some integers a, b. Determine a, b.
32. Let f = {(1,1), (2,3), (0,–1), (–1, –3)} be a function from Z to Z defined by f(x) = ax + b, for some integers a, b. Determine a, b.
32. Given, f(x) = (ax + b)
= {(1,1),(2,3),(0, – 1),(–1, –3)} .
As (1,1) f.
Then, f(1)=1 [? f(x) = y for (x, y)]
a × 1+b=1
a+b=1…… (1)
and (0, – 1) f .
Then, f(0)= –1
a× 0+b= –1
b= –1…….(2)
Putting value of (2) in (1) we gets
a – 1=1
a=1+1
a=2
So, (a, b)=(2, –1)
