Samacheer Kalvi 10th Maths Chapter 1: Relations and Functions Book Exercise 1.2 Questions and Solutions

Question 1: Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4,…, 45} and R be the relation defined as “is square of ” on A. Write R as a subset of A x A. Also, find the domain and range of R.

Solution:

A = {1, 2, 3, 4,…, 45}

Let “A” be a set which contains some of the elements of A

A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Now, write the other set of elements from A. The elements in this set denotes the square value of the previous set.

Square values of set A = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36}

A x A = {(1, 1)(1,4)(1, 9)(1, 16) (1, 25) (1, 36)………………}

Domain = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Range = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36}

Question 1: A function f is defined by f (x) = 2x – 3

(i) find [f (0) + f (1)] / 2

(ii) find x such that f (x) = 0.

(iii) find x such that f (x) = x .

(iv) find x such that f (x) = f (1−x) .

Solution:

f(x) = 2x – 3

(i) [f(0) + f(1)] / 2

f(0) = 2(0) – 3 = -3

f(1) = 2(1) – 3 = -1

= -4 / 2

= -2

(ii) find x such that f (x) = 0.

f(x) = 2x – 3

2x – 3 = 0

2x = 3

x = 3 / 2

(iii) find x such that f (x) = x .

f(x) = 2x – 3

2x – 3 = x

2x – x = 3

x = 3

(iv) find x such that f (x) = f (1−x) .

f(1 – x) = 2(1- x) – 3

= 2 – 2x – 3

= -2x – 1

2x – 3 = -2x – 1

2x + 2x = – 1 + 3

4x = 2

x = 2 / 4 = 1 / 2

Question 2: The data in the adjacent table depicts the length of a woman’s forehand and her corresponding height. Based on this data, a student finds a relationship between the height (y) and the forehand length(x) as y = ax +b, where a, b are constants.

(i) Check if this relation is a function.

(ii) Find a and b.

(iii) Find the height of a woman whose forehand length is 40 cm.

(iv) Find the length of the forehand of a woman if her height is 53.3 inches.

Solution:

y = ax + b

(i) For every value of x, different values of y are obtained. So, it is a function.

(ii) y = a x + b

x = 45.5, y = 65.5

65.5 = a(45.5) + b

65.5 = 45.5 a + b –(1)

y = a x + b

x = 35, y = 56

56 = a(35) + b

56 = 35 a + b –(2)

(1) – (2)

(45.5 a + b) – (35a + b) = 65.5 – 56

45.5 a – 35a + b – b = 9.5

10.5a = 9.5

a = 9.5 / 10.5

a = 0.90

Substitute a = 0.90 in (1),

45.5(0.90) + b = 65.5

b = 65.5 – 40.95

b = 24.5

y = 0.9x + 24.5

(iii) Find the height of a woman whose forehand length is 40 cm.

y = ? if x = 40

y = 0.9(40) + 24.5

y = 60.5

Height of the woman is 60.5 inches.

(iv) x = ? if y = 53.3

53.3 = 0.9x + 24.5

53.3 – 24.5 = 0.9x

28.8 / 0.9 = x

x = 32

Length of the forehand is 32 inches.

Samacheer Kalvi 10th Maths Chapter 1: Relations and Functions Book Exercise 1.4 Questions and Solutions

Question 1: Show that the function f : N -> N defined by f (x) = 2x – 1 is one-one but not onto.

Solution:

If for all a₁, a₂ ∈ A, f(a₁) = f(a₂) implies a₁ = a₂, then f is called one – one function.

Let x, y ∈ N, f(x) = f(y)

f(x) = 2x – 1 —–(1)

f(y) = 2y – 1 —–(2)

(1) = (2)

2x – 1 = 2y – 1

2x = 2y

x = y

Hence,+ the function is one to one.

It is not onto :

If the codomain of the function is equal to the range of function, then the function is onto.

Even numbers in the codomain are not associated with the elements of the domain.

So, it is not onto.

Question 2: Show that the function f : N -> N defined by f (m) = m² + m + 3 is a one-one function.

Solution:

Let x, y ∈ N, f(x) = f(y)

f (m) = m² + m + 3

f(x) = x² + x + 3 —–(1)

f(y) = y² + y + 3 —–(2)

(1) = (2)

x² + x + 3 = y² + y + 3

x² + x = y² + y

x² – y² + x – y = 0

(x + y) (x – y) + (x – y) = 0

(x – y) (x + y + 1) = 0

x – y = 0

x = y

Hence, it is one to one function.

Question 1: Let f = {(−1, 3),(0,−1),(2,−9)} be a linear function from Z into Z . Find f (x).

Solution:

Let the linear function be y = ax + b.

If x = -1, then y = 3

3 = a(-1) + b

3 = -a + b

-a + b = 3 ——-(1)

If x = 0, then y = -1

-1 = a(0) + b

-1 = b

b = -1

By applying the value of b in (1)

-a + (-1) = 3

-a = 3 + 1

-a = 4

a = -4

Substitute the values of a and b,

y = -4x – 1

The linear equation is -4x – 1.

Question 2: In electrical circuit theory, a circuit C(t) is called a linear circuit if it satisfies the superposition principle given by C(at₁ + bt₂) = aC(t₁) + bC(t₂), where a, b are constants. Show that the circuit C(t) = 3t is linear.

Solution:

Let the two points t₁ and t₂ be taken as the domain of C(t).

c(at₁ + bt₂) = 3(at₁ + bt₂)

c(at₁) = 3at₁

ac(t₁) = 3at₁

bc(t₂) = 3bt₂

3(at₁ + bt₂) = 3at₁ + 3at₂

C(at₁ + bt₂) = aC(t₁) + bC(t₂),

Hence, c(t) is linear.
