Q.4 Show that the function
✓ Solution

Suppose

$$ f(a)=f(b) $$

Then,

$$ 2a-1=2b-1 $$

$$ 2a=2b $$

$$ a=b $$

Hence $f$ is one-one.

The range is

$$ \{1,3,5,7,\dots\} $$

Even natural numbers are not images of any element.

Hence the function is not onto.

---

Q.5 Show that the function

✓ Solution

$$ f\circ g=g\circ f $$

---

(i) $$

$$ (f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x)) $$

$$ =f(x^2) $$

$$ =x^2-6 $$

Thus,

$$ (f\circ g)(x)=x^2-6 $$

Now,

$$ (g\circ f)(x)=g(f(x)) $$

$$ =g(x-6) $$

$$ =(x-6)^2 $$

$$ =x^2-12x+36 $$

### Answer

$$ (f\circ g)(x)=x^2-6 $$

$$ (g\circ f)(x)=x^2-12x+36 $$

Hence,

$$ f\circ g\neq g\circ f $$

---

(ii) $$

$$ (f\circ g)(x)=f(2x^2-1) $$

$$ =\frac2{2x^2-1} $$

Now,

$$ (g\circ f)(x)=g\left(\frac2x\right) $$

$$ =2\left(\frac2x\right)^2-1 $$

$$ =\frac8{x^2}-1 $$

### Answer

$$ (f\circ g)(x)=\frac2{2x^2-1} $$

$$ (g\circ f)(x)=\frac8{x^2}-1 $$

Hence,

$$ f\circ g\neq g\circ f $$

---

$$ (g\circ f)(x)=3-\frac1x $$

Hence,

$$ f\circ g\neq g\circ f $$

---

(iv) $$

$$ (f\circ g)(x)=f(x-4) $$

$$ =(x-4)+3=x-1 $$

Now,

$$ (g\circ f)(x)=g(x+3) $$

$$ =(x+3)-4=x-1 $$

$$ =(4x^2-1)+1 $$

$$ =4x^2 $$

$$ k=-5 $$

### Answer

$$ k=-5 $$

---

(ii) $$

$$ (f\circ g)(x)=2(4x+5)-k $$

$$ =8x-4k+5 $$

Equating:

$$ 8x+10-k=8x-4k+5 $$

$$ 10-k=-4k+5 $$

$$ 3k=-5 $$

$$ k=-\frac53 $$

### Answer

(ii) $f\circ f\circ f$

$$ f(x^4-2x^2) =(x^4-2x^2)^2-1 $$

$$ =x^8-4x^6+4x^4-1 $$

### Answer

$$ x^8-4x^6+4x^4-1 $$

Q.7 Let
✓ Solution

$f(x)=x^5$ is strictly increasing.

Hence $f$ is one-one.

But,

$$ g(2)=16 $$

and

$$ g(-2)=16 $$

Hence $g$ is not one-one.

Now,

$$ (f\circ g)(x)=f(x^4)=x^{20} $$

$$ (f\circ g)(2)=(f\circ g)(-2) $$

Hence $f\circ g$ is not one-one.

### Answer

- $f$ is one-one - $g$ is not one-one - $f\circ g$ is not one-one

---

Q.8 Show that
✓ Solution

$$ (f\circ g)\circ h=f\circ(g\circ h) $$

---

(i) $$

$$ (g\circ h)(x)=3x^2+1 $$

$$ f(g(h(x)))=3x^2 $$

Also,

$$ (f\circ g)(x)=3x $$

$$ ((f\circ g)\circ h)(x)=3x^2 $$

Hence proved.

---

Q.9 Let
✓ Solution

Assume

$$ f(x)=ax+b $$

Using $(0,-1)$:

$$ b=-1 $$

Using $(-1,3)$:

$$ -a-1=3 $$

$$ a=-4 $$

Thus,

$$ f(x)=-4x-1 $$

Check:

$$ f(2)=-8-1=-9 $$

Correct.

### Answer

$$ f(x)=-4x-1 $$

Q.10 In electrical circuit theory,
✓ Solution

$$ C(at_1+bt_2)=3(at_1+bt_2) $$

$$ =3at_1+3bt_2 $$

$$ =a(3t_1)+b(3t_2) $$

$$ =aC(t_1)+bC(t_2) $$

Hence the circuit is linear.

### Answer

$$ C(t)=3t $$

satisfies the superposition principle and is linear.
