It has been written as a teaching text, with understanding as its chief aim and with ample practice offered through the worked examples and exercises. All the work has been trialled in the classroom, and the approaches offered are based on classroom experience.The book contains three revision chapters. These provide multiple-choice questions and extended-response questions. Chapter 20 contains 42 extended-response questions which may be used for revision. Use of a CAS calculator has been included throughout the text and there is also an appendix that provides an introduction to the use of the calculator. The use of matrices to describe transformations, solve systems of linear equations and in the study of Markov sequences is fully integrated. The study of families of functions is also incorporated throughout the text. Extended-response questions that require a CAS calculator have been incorporated. These questions are indicated by the use of a CAS calculator icon. The TI-Nspire calculator instructions have been completed by Jan Honnens and the Casio ClassPad instructions have been completed by David Hibbard. The TI-Nspire instructions are written for operating system 3.0 but can be used with other versions. The Casio ClassPad instructions are written for operating system 3 or above. x ISBN 978-1-107-67685-5 Photocopying is restricted under law and this material must not be transferred to another party. © Michael Evans, Kay Lipson, Peter Jones, Sue Avery 2012 Cambridge University Press

P1: FXS/ABE P2: FXS 9780521740531c01.xml CUAU156-EVANS August 8, 2011 12:10 CHAPTER 1 Functions and relations Objectives To understand and use thenotation of sets, including the symbols ∈,⊆, ∩,∪,∅and \. To use the notation for sets of numbers. To understand the concept of relation. To understand the termsdomainandrange. To understand the concept of function. To understand the termone-to-one. To understand the terms implied domain,restriction of a function, hybrid function, and odd and even functions. To understand the modulus function. To understand and use sumsandproducts of functions. To define composite functions. To understand and find inverse functions. To apply a knowledge of functions to solving problems. In this chapter, notation that will be used throughout the book will be introduced. The language introduced in this chapter is necessary for expressing important mathematical ideas precisely. If you are working with a CAS calculator it is appropriate to work through the first sections of the appropriate Computer Algebra System Appendix. 1.1 Set notation Set notationis used widely in mathematics and in this book it is employed where appropriate. This section summarises much of the set notation you will need. Aset is a collection of objects. The objects that are in the set are known as the elementsor members of the set. If xis an element of a set Awe write x∈ A.This can also be read as ‘x is a member of the set A’or‘xbelongs to A’or‘xis in A’. The notation x/ ∈ Ameans xis not an element of A. For example: 2 / ∈ set of odd numbers. A set Bis called a subsetof a set Aif and only if x∈ Bimplies x∈ A. 1 ISBN 978-1-107-67685-5 Photocopying is restricted under law and this material must not be transferred to another party.

The set of elements common to two sets Aand Bis called the intersection ofAand Band is denoted by A∩ B.Thus x∈ A∩ Bif and only if x∈ Aand x∈ B. If the sets Aand Bhave no elements in common, we say Aand Bare disjoint, and write A ∩ B=∅ . The set ∅is called the emptyset ornullset. The union of sets Aand B, written A∪ B, is the set of elements that are either in Aor in B. This does not exclude objects that are elements of both Aand B. Example 1 A={ 1,2,3,7}; B={ 3,4,5,6,7} Find: a A∩ B bA∪ B Solution a A∩ B= {3, 7} bA∪ B={ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7} Note: In this example, 3 ∈Aand 5 / ∈ Aand {2, 3} ⊆A. Finally, the set difference of two setsAand Bis denoted A\B, where: A \B ={ x:x ∈ A,x / ∈ B} e.g., for Aand Bin Example 1, A\B={1, 2} andB\A ={4, 5, 6} There will be a further discussion of set notation in Chapter 14, which will provide the additional notation necessary for the study of probability. Sets of numbers The elements of the set {1,2,3,4,... }are called the natural numbers. The set of natural numbers will be denoted by N. The elements of {...,−2,−1,0,1,2,... }are called integers. The set of integers will be denoted by Z. The numbers of the form p qwith pand qintegers, q= 0, are called rational numbers. The rational numbers may be characterised by the property that each rational number may be written as a terminating or recurring decimal. The set of rational numbers will be denoted by Q. The real numbers that are not rational numbers are called irrational(e.g.,and \b 2). The set of real numbers will be denoted by R.

In this section, only ordered pairs of real numbers are considered. Two ordered pairs (a, b) and (c,d) are equal if a= cand b= d. A relation is a set of ordered pairs. The following are examples of relations: S ={ (1,1),(1,2),(3,4),(5,6)} T ={ (−3, 5),(4,12), (5,12), (7,−6)} Every relation determines two sets defined as follows: The domain of a relation Sis the set of all first elements of the ordered pairs in S. Therange of a relation Sis the set of all second elements of the ordered pairs in S. In the above examples: domain of S= {1, 3, 5}; range of S= {1, 2, 4, 6} domain of T= {−3, 4, 5, 7}; range of T= {5, 12, −6} A relation may be defined by a rule which pairs the elements in its domain and range. Thus the set {(x, y): y= x+ 1, x∈{ 1,2,3,4}} is the relation {(1,2),(2,3),(3,4),(4,5)} When the domain of a relation is not explicitly stated, it is understood to consist of all real numbers for which the defining rule has meaning. For example: S={ (x , y): y= x 2} is assumed to have domain Rand T ={ (x , y): y= \b x } is assumed to have domain [0, ∞).

For instance, in Example 3, a,eand fare functions but b,cand dare not. Let Sbe a relation with domain D. A simple geometric test to determine if Sis a function is as follows. Consider the graph of S. If all vertical lines with equations x= a,a ∈ D, cut the graph of S only once, then Sis a function. For example, x 0 y x 0 y x2+ y 2=1 is not a function y= x 2is a function Functions are usually denoted by lower case letters such as f,g, h. The definition of a function tells us that for each xin the domain of fthere is a unique element, y, in the range such that (x, y)∈f. The element yis called the imageofxunder for the value offat xand is denoted by f(x) (read ‘f ofx’). If (x, y)∈f, then xis called a pre-image ofy. This gives an alternative way of writing functions. 1 For the function {(x, y): y= x 2}, write: f : R → R, f(x ) = x 2 2For the function {(x,y):y= 2x −1, x∈ [0, 4]} write: f :[0 ,4] → R, f(x ) = 2x − 1 3 For the function  (x , y): y= 1 x ,write: f : R \{0}→ R, f(x ) = 1 x If the domain is Rwe often just write the rule, for example in 1f(x) =x 2. Note that in using the notation f: X → Y,Xis the domain but Yis not necessarily the range. It is a set that contains the range and is called the codomain. With this notation for functions the domain of fis written as dom fand range of fas ran f.

In other words fis called one-to-one if every image under fhas a unique pre-image. The function f(x ) = 2x + 1 is a one-to-one function. The function f(x ) = x 2is not a one-to-one function as, for example, f(−3) =9 and f(3) =9; i.e., 9 does not have a unique pre-image.
