Functions

Section 4.1

A function from a set D to set R (f: DR) is a relation from D to R such that each x in D is related to one and only one y in R. D is called the domain of the function and R is called the range of the function.

Note: every function is a relation but not every relation is a function.

Ex:

The cost of gold is a function of its weight.

Functions

Functions are represented by cloud diagrams.

Functions

Ex1:

If f(x)=x+2 is used as a formula that defines a function from {-1,0,1,2} to {1,2,3,4}, what relation defines f??

Solution:

f = {(-1,1),(0,2),(1,3),(2,4)}

Functions

Ex2:

The relation R ={(a,2),(a,3),(b,4),(c,5)} is not a function from D={a,b,c} to R={2,3,4,5}, why?

Functions

Ex3:

The relation {(a,3),(c,2)} from the domain {a,b,c} to the range {2,3,4,5} is not a function.

why?

Functions

To determine if a relation is a function:

1- each element in the domain is related to an element in the range.

2- no element in the domain is related to more than one element in the range.

Functions

A function can have 2 or 3 variables or more.

f(x,y)= xy+x^2

G(x,y,z)= x+2y+z

One to one functions

A function is one to one (or injection) if different elements of the domain are related to different elements of the range.

Ex:

ca

1 2 3

b

4

d

Ex:

Is the following one-to-one? Why?

1 2 3 4

a b c d

Onto functions

A function is called onto (surjection) if each element of the range is related to at least one element in the domain.

Ex:1 2 3

a b c d

Bijection functions

A function is one to one and onto (bijection) or one to one correspondence if each element in the range is related to one and only one element of the domain.

Ex:

a b c d

1 2 3 4

Functions

Ex4:Determine whether each if the following is a function, if so is it

onto? Is it one to one?1- D= {a,b,c,d} R={1,2,3,4}F= { (a,1),(a,2),(b,1), (c,2), (d,3)}2- D= {-2,-1,0,1,2} R= {0,1,4}F(x)=x^23- D= {-2,-1,0,1,2} R= {0,1,2,3,4}F(x)=x^24- D= {0,1,2} R= {0,1,4}F(x)=x^2

The image of a function

The set of range values actually related to some domain elements is called the image of a function.

Sequences, n-tuples and sums

A function whose domain is a set of consecutive integers is called a sequence.

Ex:

If s (i)=i for each i>=0, then s is a sequence.

Si is the ith term of the sequence.


Ex5:

Write the third term of the sequence

Si= i(i-1)+1 for i>=1

Solution: s3=3(2)+1=7


Ex6:Write the first 5 terms for the sequence si=i^2+2, for

i>=0

Solution:S0= 2S1= 3S2=6S3=11S4=18


Ex7:

Find a formula for the ith term of the sequence 1,4,9,16,25. For what values of i is your formula valid?

Solution: si=i^2, i>=1


(1,2,4,9,16) is a 5-tuple. Order is important.

Summing Finite Sequences

∑ ai (i=m, n) = am + am+1 + am+2 +…..+an Ex8:Find ∑ i^2 (i=1, 3).Solution:1+4+9=14Ex9:Find ∑ 2j-1 (j=0, 4).Solution:-1+1+3+5+7=15

Gauss’s Formula

∑ i (i=1, n) = n(n+1)/2

Proof given in class.


Theorem:- ∑(ai+bi) (i=m,n) = ∑ ai (i=m,n) + ∑ bi (i=m,n) - ∑cai (i=m,n)= c ∑ai (i=m,n) - ∑c (i=m,n)= c(n-m+1) Theorem:The sum of the arithmetic series ∑(a*i+b)

(i=1,n) = an(n+1)/2+nb*proof given in class


Ex:

solve

∑(3i-1)(i=1,10)

Section 4.2

Cartesian graphsThe Cartesian graph of a relation R consists of all points (x,y) in

the plane such that x is related to y by R ( that is, (x,y) ε R or xRy).

Ex: Graph of- X2+y2 =1- Y=X2

- Y=X3

- Y=x- Y=2x

Graphs drawn in class

Functions

Vertical lines are used to determine whether a certain relation is a function

Horizontal lines are used to determine whether a function is one to one or onto.

If all vertical lines cross the graph exactly once over a certain domain then the graph is a function on that domain

If the horizontal lines cross the function’s graph more than once it is not one to one.

If there are horizontal lines that do not cross the function’s graph on a certain range, the function is not onto on that range.

Composition and Inverse

The composition of function f with a function g is the relation f g (f composed with g) that contains the pair (x,y) if and only if y=f(g(x)) (f of g of x)

The image of g must be a subset of the domain of f in order for f g to be defined


Find f(g(x))

1- f = { (1,-1), (2,-2),(3,-3),(4,-4),(5,-5)}

g= { (1,3), (2,4), (3,5)}

2- f(y) = y3+1

g(x)= x 1/3

3- f(x)= x3+1

g(x)= (x-1)1/3


Ex:

454g in 1 lb

16 oz in 1lb

P(x)= x/16

G(x)= 454x

Find the equation that converts from ounces (oz) to pounds (lb)

Inverses

Whenever f and g are two functions such that f(g(x))=x and g(f(y))=y for each x in the domain of g and each y in the domain of f, we say that f and g are inverses of each other, f is the inverse of g and g is the inverse of f

Theorem:

A function g from D to R has an inverse if and only if g is one to one. The domain of g-1 is the image of g.

Inverse

Ex:

G(x) = x3 -1

Find the inverse and its domain

Inverse

Theorem: If g is one to one, the points on the graph of g-1 may

be obtained by interchanging the x and y coordinates of the points on the graph of g.

Ex:Find the inverse of y=x3 and its graphEx:F(x) = 2x is to one from R to R+

Find the inverse and its graph

Section 4.3 ( Growth Rate of Functions)

Algorithm smallestInput: a list of numbers in any orderOutput: a list of the same numbers with the smallest firstSteps:For i from 2 to n do:If (the number in position i < the number in position 1)Then exchange both numbersExample: apply algorithm on 5,2,1,3 and on 5,4,3,2 for the worst

case- Find the total time taken by the algorithm

Quadratic time algorithms

Selection Sort

For(i=0; i<=n-2; i++)

{

L= min-position(iteration,n-1);

Exchange (list [iteration], list [L]);

}- Apply on 8,2,4,0,1,3- Find the total time taken by the algorithm

Growth Rate of Functions

We say that f is a big O of g, or f(x) = O(g(x)),

If there is a constant c>0 and a number N such

that for all x>N, f(x) <= c.g(x)

Ex:

f(x)= x2

g(x)= x3

Show that f(x) = O(g(x))


Consider

F(n) = 3n2+2n

G(n)= n2

Show that f(n)= O(g(n))


If lim x∞ g(x)/f(x) = ∞

Then g(x) is not O(f(x)) If lim x∞ g(x)/f(x) = 0

Then g(x)=O(f(x)), but not vise versa If lim x∞ g(x)/f(x) = c, where c is constant ≠ 0

Then f(x)=O(g(x)) and g(x)=O(f(x))


Ex:f(x)= 10xG(x)= x2

H(x)=x3

Is f(x) = O(g(x))?Is G(x)=O(h(x))?Is G(x)=O(f(x))?


Ex:

F(x)=2x

G(x)=4x


Theorem

For any real number r, x= O(2x) and

1- 2x is not O(xr)

2- logx = O(xr)

3- xr is not O(logx)


Ex:

F(x)= xx

G(x)= x2x


1- constants2- log(log(x))3- log(x)4- (log(x))n

5- (x)1/k

6- x7- x2

8- xn

9- 2x

10- x!

Theorem

F(x) is of order g(x) means that f(x)= O(g(x))and g(x)= O(f(x))Ex: Which of the following functions are O(x2) and which

of them are of order x2?- f(x) = 2x(x)1/2

- f(x)= x2+(x)1/2

- F(x)=x3+(x)1/2

- F(x)=(x3+1)/x
