26. Given, f(x)=x2.

f ( 1 . 1 ) − f ( 1 ) 1 . 1 − 1 = ( 1 . 1 ) 2 − 1 2 1 . 1 − 1 = 1 . 2 1 − 1 0 . 1 = 0 . 2 1 0 . 1 = 2 . 1

It is given that f:R→{x∈R:−1<x<1} is defined as f(x)=x1+|x|,x∈R.

Suppose f(x)=f(y) , where x,y∈R.

⇒x1+x=y1−y⇒2xy=x−y

Since x is positive and y is negative:

x>y⇒x−y>0

But, 2xy is negative.

Then, 2xy≠x−y .

Thus, the case of x being positive and y being negative can be ruled out.

Under a similar argument, x being negative and y being positive can als

It is given that f:R→R is defined as f (x)=x2−3x+2.

f (f (x))=f (x2−3x+2)= (x2+3x+2)2−3 (x2−3x+2)+2=x4+9x2+4−6x2−12x+4x2−3x2+9x−6+2=x4−6x2+10x2−3x

It is given that:

f:W→W is defined as f(n)={n−1,if.n,oddn+1,if.n,even

One-one:

Let, f(n)=f(m).

It can be observed that if n is odd and m is even, then we will have n-1=m+1.

⇒n−m=2

However, the possibility of n being even and m being odd can also be ignored under a similar argument.

∴ Both n and m must be either odd or even.

Now, if both n

25. Given, f(x)= { x 2 , 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 3 x , 3 ≤ x ≤ 1 0

f(x)={(0,0),(1,1),(2,4),(3,9),(4,12),(5,15),(6,18),(7,21),(8,24),(9,27),(10,30)}

So, the elements in domain of f  has one and only one image.

 ? f(x) is a function.

Given, g(x)= { x 2 , 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 3 x , 2 ≤ x ≤ 1 0 .

g(x)={(0,0),(1,1),(2,4),(2,6),(3,9),(4,12),(5,15),(6,18),(7,21),(8,24),(9,27),(10,30)}

So, the e

It is given that f:R→R is defined as f(x)=10x+7.

One-one:

Let,f(x)=f(y),where,x,y∈R⇒10x+7=10y+7⇒x=y

∴f is a one-one function.

Onto:

For,y∈R,let,y=10x+7⇒x=y−710∈R

Therefore, for any y∈R ,there exists x=y−710∈R

Such that

f(x)=f(y−710)=10(y−710)+7=y−7+7=y

∴f is onto.

Therefore, f is one-one and onto.

Thus, f is an invertible function.

Let us define g:R→R as g(y)=y−710

Now, we have

gof(x)=g(f(x))=g(10x+7)=(10x+7)−710=10x10=10Andfog(y)=f(g(y))=f(y−710)=10(y−710)+7=y−7+7=y

Hence, the required function

On N, the operation * is defined as a * b = a3 + b3.

For, a, b, ∈ N, we have:

a * b =  a3 + b3 = b3 + a3  = b * a [Addition is commutative in N]

Therefore, the operation * is commutative.

It can be observed that:

  (1*2)*3 = (13+23)*3 = 9 * 3 = 93 + 33 = 729 + 27 = 756

A

(i) Define an operation * on N as:

a * b = a + b  a, b ∈ N

Then, in particular, for b = a = 3, we have:

3 * 3 = 3 + 3 = 6 ≠ 3

Therefore, statement (i) is false.

(ii) R.H.S. = (c * b) * a

= (b * c) * a [* is commutative]

= a * (b * c) [Again, as * is commutative]

= L.H.S.

∴ a * (b * c) = (c * b) * a

The

A = N × N

* is a binary operation on A and is defined by:

(a, b) * (c, d) = (a + c, b + d)

Let (a, b), (c, d) ∈ A

Then, a, b, c, d ∈ N

We have:

(a, b) * (c, d) = (a + c, b + d)

(c, d) * (a, b) = (c + a, d + b) = (a + c, b + d) 

[Addition is commutative in the set of natural numbers]

∴(a, b) * (c, d) = (

24. (i) f(x)=2 – 3x, x ∈ R, x>0.

Given, x>0

3x>3 × 0

3x>0

(–1) × 3x<(–1) × 0.

–3x<0

2 – 3x<0+2

2 – 3x<2

i.e., f(x) < 2

Hene, range of f(x) = (– ?, 2)

(ii) Given, f(x) = x2+2, x is a real number.

Since, x is a real number,

x2 ≥ 0 (x2=0 for x=0)

x2+2 ≥ 0+2

x2+2 ≥ 2

f(x) ≥ 2

?Range of f(x) = [2, ?) 

(iii) Given, f(x
