Q 58 It is given that
A = {9,10,11,12,13} and f : A N be defined by f(n) = the highest
prime factor of n. Now,
Prime factor of 9 = 3
Prime factor of 10 = 2,5
Prime factor of 11 = 11
Prime factor of 12 = 2,3
Prime factor of 13 = 13
f(n) = the highest prime factor of n. Hence,
f(9) = the highest prime factor of 9 = 3 f(10) = the highest prime
factor of 10 = 5 f(11) = the highest prime factor of 11 = 11 f(12) =
the highest prime factor of 12 = 3
Q 59 (i) R in roster form can be written as:

R= {(1,1),(1,2),(1,6),(1,8),(2,2),(2,6),(2,8),(6,6),(8,8)}

(ii) Domain of R ={1,2,6,8}

(iii) Range of R ={1,2,6,8}

Q 60 Given that: R = {(x, y) | y = 2x + 7 where x R and -5 < x < 5}

Since R is defined for all real numbers that are greater than or equal
to-5 and less than or equal to 5, therefore
domain of R = {x: x R, 5 < x < 5} = [-5, 5]
Range: here 5 < x < 5 and y = 2x + 7.
Since x R and 5 < x < 5

range of R = [-3,17]

Hence, the domain of R=[-5, 5] and range of R=[-3,17]

Q 61

Q 62 Given,
f(x) = x2 and g(x) = 2x + 1
(f + g) (x) = x2 + 2x + 1
(f g) (x) = x2 -(2x + 1) = x2 2x 1
(fg) (x) = x2(2x + 1) = 2x3 + x2
(f/g) (x) = x2/(2x + 1), x -1/2
Q 63 : (i) 28 = x2 + 3 x2 = 25 x=±5
(ii) 39 = x2 + 3 x2 = 36 x=±6;

Hence the pre images of 39 are -6 & 6.

2 = x2 + 3 x2 = 1, not possible.
 There is no pre image of 2 under the given function.

Q 64 i.e. 1 or -1

range { 1, 1}

Q 65 y=1 |x 2|
For every x, | x 2 | 0
|x 2| 0 1 |x 2| 1 y 1
range ] 1]

Q 66 f (x) = | x 3| 0 Range = [0,

Q 67 Given
Function is defined if x 1 0 x 1
Domain = {x R| x 1}
Range = R+ {0}. [ Positive square root function]

Q 68 Given,
A = {-4, 0, 1, 4}
f(x) = x2 1
f(-4) = (-4)2 1 = 16 1=15
f(0) = (0)2 1 = -1
f(1) = (1)2 1=0
f(4) = (4)2 1 = 16 1 =15
Therefore, f in roster form is = {(-4, 15), (0, -1), (1, 0), (4, 15)}
Q 69 Given, f = {(1, 1), (2, 3), (0, 1), ( 1, 3)} and f (x) = ax +
b i)
(1, 1) when x = 1, f (x) = 1
(2, 3) when x = 2, f (x) = 3
From (i) we get
1=a+b ii)
and 3 = 2a + b iii)
Solving (ii) and (iii) we get a = 2, b = 1.
Q 70 f(x) =
Let y=f(x)

Squaring both sides we get

Since x is real , for that

But i.e. y is positive square root of
