Facts
3 The main properties for a relation to be considered a function are: (a) Each and every object must have one and only one image. [If there are objects that have two or more images, the relation is not a function.] (b) Two or more objects are allowed to have the same image. [Many-to-one relation is considered a function.] (c) It is not necessary that all elements in the codomain are images. [Non-image elements are allowed in a function.] 4 If a function links x to x 2 – 3x + 5, by using function notation, it is written as f : x → x2 – 3x + 5 or f(x) = x2 – 3x + 5. It is read as ‘function f that maps x onto x2 – 3x + 5’.

Solution (a) It is a function because • each and every object has only one image, • many-to-one relation is allowed, • non-image element, i.e. ‘28 days’ is allowed. (b) It is not a function because there are objects that have more than one image. (c) It is not a function because there is an element in the domain that does not have an image, i.e. ‘7’.

f –1
2 The main step to find the inverse function is ‘Let y = f(x), then x = f –1 (y)’ or ‘Let f –1(x) = y, then f(y) = x’. Functions
• (fg) = g–1f –1 and (gf )–1 = f –1g –1. • (f 2)–1 = (f –1)2. • ff –1(x) = f –1f(x) = x.

The conditions for the existence of inverse functions are (a) the function must be one-toone, (b) that every element in the codomain must be linked to an object.
