FUNCTION
Let A and B be two non - empty sets.
Then a function f from A to B is a rule that maps each element of set A to exactly one
element in set B .
DENOTED BY 𝑓: 𝐴 → 𝐵
IDENTIFYING A FUNCTION
1
(i) And (ii) are functions
NUMBER OF FUNCTIONS
𝑓: 𝐴 → 𝐵
n(A)= 3 n(B)=4. THEN 1 st element 4 choices,2 nd element 4 choices ….ANSWER: 4 3
n(A)= 3 n(B)=3. THEN 1 st element 3 choices,2 nd element 3 choices ….ANSWER: 3 3
n(A)= p n(B)=[Link] :qp
DOMAIN, CO DOAMIN AND RANGE
Let 𝑓: 𝐴 → 𝐵 be a function, then
Set A is domain, Set B is co domain and set of all images of elements in set A
under f is called range.
Domain Co-domain Range
f1
f2
{1,2,3,4}, {1,2,3}
Observation : Range is subset of co domain

ONE -ONE FUNCTION
𝐴 𝑓𝑢𝑛𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑓: 𝐴 → 𝐵 is stb one – one if no two elements of A have same images.i.e. if
no two elements of A are mapped to same element of B .
(i) and (ii) are 1-1 (iii) many to one ( not 1-1)
A function 𝒇: 𝑨 → 𝑩 is stb one- one if
𝒂 ≠ 𝒃 ⇒ 𝒇(𝒂) ≠ 𝒇(𝒃) ∀𝒂, 𝒃 ∈ 𝑨 or 𝒇(𝒂) = 𝒇(𝒃) ⇒ 𝒂 = 𝒃 ∀ 𝒂, 𝒃 ∈ 𝑨
n(A) n(B) NUMBER OF 1-1

𝒇: 𝑨 → 𝑩 is one – one , then 𝑛(𝐴) ≤ 𝑛(𝐵)
3
Onto functions
𝑓: 𝐴 → 𝐵 is onto if range f = co domain [Link] every element of B has a pre image in A
(i) is onto ii and iii are into (not onto )
A function 𝒇: 𝑨 → 𝑩 is stb onto if
∀𝒃 ∈ 𝑩 ∃𝒂 ∈ 𝑨 𝒔𝒕 𝒇(𝒂) = 𝒃 OR range = co domain
n(A) n(B) NUMBER OF onto

𝒇: 𝑨 → 𝑩 is onto, then 𝑛(𝐴) ≥ 𝑛(𝐵)
Bijection
𝑓: 𝐴 → 𝐵 is bijective if it is both one – one and onto.

(i) is bijective
n(A) n(B) NUMBER OF BIJECTIVE

𝒇: 𝑨 → 𝑩 is bijective, then 𝑛(𝐴) = 𝑛(𝐵)
𝒇: 𝑨 → 𝑩 is bijective then 𝑓 −1 : 𝐵 → 𝐴 is also bijective
Equal functions
Two functions f and g are called equal if
1. Domain of f = domain of g
2. f(x)=g(x) for all x in domain of f (or g)
Q1 Let A = {-1,0,1,2} ,B = {-4,-2,0,2} and f,g : 𝐴 → 𝐵 be functions defined by
1
f(x) = 𝑥 2 − 𝑥, x 𝜖𝐴 and g(x) = 2 |𝑥 − | − 1, 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴. Are f and g equal? Justify your answer.
2
thus f = g
