Sets & Functions

Notation & Terminology

SETS: A set is a collection of items which have some common property.

These items are called the members or elements of the set.

Sets can be described or listed using “curly bracket” notation.

Higher Outcome 2

eg {colours in traffic lights}

eg {square nos. less than 30}

DESCRIPTION LIST

NB: Each of the above sets is finite because we can list every member

= {red, amber, green}

= { 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25}

Sets & FunctionsSets & Functions

Sets & FunctionsSets & Functions

N = {natural numbers}

= {1, 2, 3, 4, ……….}

W = {whole numbers} = {0, 1, 2, 3, ………..}Z = {integers} = {….-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, …..}

Q = {rational numbers}

This is the set of all numbers which can be written as fractions or ratios.

eg 5 = 5/1 -7 = -7/1 0.6 = 6/10 = 3/5

55% = 55/100 = 11/20 etc

We can describe numbers by the following sets:

Higher Outcome 2

R = {real numbers}This is all possible numbers. If we plotted values on a number line then each of the previous sets would leave gaps but the set of real numbers would give us a solid line.

We should also note that

N “fits inside” W

W “fits inside” Z

Z “fits inside” Q

Q “fits inside” R

Sets & FunctionsSets & Functions

Higher Outcome 2

Sets & FunctionsSets & Functions

QZWN

When one set can fit inside another we say

that it is a subset of the other.

The members of R which are not inside Q are called irrational numbers. These cannot be expressed as

fractions and include , 2, 35 etc

R

Higher Outcome 2

To show that a particular element/number belongs to a particular set we use the symbol

. eg 3 W but 0.9 Z

Examples

{ x W: x < 5 }= { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 }

{ x Z: x -6 } = { -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, …….. }

{ x R: x2 = -4 } = { } or

This set has no elements and is called the empty set.

Sets & FunctionsSets & Functions

Higher Outcome 2

If the first set is A and the second B then we often write

f: A B

Functions & Mappings

Defn: A function or mapping is a relationship between two sets in which each member of the first set is connected to exactly one member in the

second set.

The members of set A are usually referred to as the domain of the function (basically the starting values or even x-values) while the corresponding values or images come from set B and are called the range of the function (these are like y-values).

Higher Outcome 2

Functions & MappingFunctions & Mapping

Functions can be illustrated in three ways:

1) by a formula.

2) by arrow diagram.

3) by a graph (ie co-ordinate diagram).

ExampleSuppose that f: A B is defined by

f(x) = x2 + 3x where A = { -3, -2, -1, 0, 1}.FORMULA

then f(-3) = 0 , f(-2) = -2 , f(-1) = -2 , f(0) = 0 ,f(1) = 4

NB: B = {-2, 0, 4} = the range!

Recognising Functions from Graphs

If we have a function f: R R (R - real nos.) then every vertical line we could draw would cut

the graph exactly once!

This basically means that every x-value has one, and only one, corresponding y-value!

COMPOSITION OF FUNCTIONS

( or functions of functions )

Suppose that f and g are functions where

f:A B and g:B C

with f(x) = y and g(y) = z

where x A, y B and z C.

Suppose that h is a third function where

h:A C with h(x) = z .

h

We can say that h(x) = g(f(x))

“function of a function”

Higher Outcome 1

Composite FunctionsComposite Functionsf(2)=3x2 – 2 =4

g(4)=42 + 1 =17

f(5)=5x3-2 =13Example 1

Suppose that f(x) = 3x - 2 and g(x) = x2 +1

(a) g( f(2) ) = g(4) = 17

(b) f( g (2) ) = f(5) = 13

(c) f( f(1) ) = f(1) = 1

(d) g( g(5) ) = g(26)= 677

f(1)=3x1 - 2 =1

g(26)=262

+ 1 =677

g(2)=22 + 1 =5

f(1)=3x1 - 2 =1

g(5)=52 + 1 =26

Higher Outcome 1

Suppose that f(x) = 3x - 2 and g(x) = x2 +1

Find formulae for (a) g(f(x)) (b) f(g(x)).

(a) g(f(x)) = g(3x-2)

= (3x-2)2 + 1

= 9x2 - 12x + 5

(b) f(g(x)) = f(x2 + 1) = 3(x2 + 1) - 2= 3x2 + 1

CHECK

g(f(2)) = 9 x 22 - 12 x 2 + 5

= 36 - 24 + 5 = 17

f(g(2)) = 3 x 22 + 1 = 13 As in Ex1

NB: g(f(x)) f(g(x)) in general.

Composite FunctionsComposite Functions

Higher Outcome 1

Let h(x) = x - 3 , g(x) = x2 + 4 and k(x) = g(h(x)). If k(x) = 8 then find the value(s) of x.

k(x) = g(h(x))

= g(x - 3)

= (x - 3)2 + 4

= x2 - 6x + 13

Put x2 - 6x + 13 = 8

then x2 - 6x + 5 = 0

or (x - 5)(x - 1) = 0

So x = 1 or x = 5

CHECK g(h(5)) = g(2)= 22 + 4= 8

Composite FunctionsComposite Functions

Higher Outcome 1

Choosing a Suitable Domain

(i) Suppose f(x) = 1 . x2 - 4

Clearly x2 - 4 0

So x2 4

So x -2 or 2

Hence domain = {xR: x -2 or 2 }

Composite FunctionsComposite Functions

Higher Outcome 1

(ii) Suppose that g(x) = (x2 + 2x - 8)

We need (x2 + 2x - 8) 0

Suppose (x2 + 2x - 8) = 0

Then (x + 4)(x - 2) = 0

So x = -4 or x = 2

So domain = { xR: x -4 or x 2 }

Composite FunctionsComposite Functions

Check values below -4 , between -4 and 2, then above 2

x = -5

(-5 + 4)(-5 - 2) = positive

x = 0

(0 + 4)(0 - 2) =

negative

x = 3

Higher Outcome 1

A function in the form f(x) = ax where a > 0, a ≠ 1

is called an exponential function to base a .

Higher Outcome 1

ie

y -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3

x 1/8 ¼ ½ 1 2 4 8

To obtain y from x we must ask the question

“What power of 2 gives us…?”

This is not practical to write in a formula so we say

y = log2x“the logarithm to base 2 of x”

or “log base 2 of x”

Trig Graphs

The same transformation rules

apply to the basic trig graphs.

NB: If f(x) =sinx then 3f(x) = 3sinx

and f(5x) = sin5x

Think about sin replacing f !

and g(x+90) = cos(x+90)

Think about cos replacing g !

Example1 sin θ = 5/13 where 0 < θ < π/2

Find the exact values of cos θ and tan θ .

cos2 θ = 1 - sin2 θ

= 1 – (5/13)2

= 1 – 25/169= 144/169

cos θ = √(144/169)

= 12/13 or -12/13

Since θ is between 0 < θ < π/2

then cos θ > 0

So cos θ = 12/13

tan θ = sinθ cos θ

= 5/13 ÷ 12/13

= 5/13 X 13/12

tan θ = 5/12

Higher Outcome 1

Given that cos θ = -2/ √ 5 where π< θ < 3 π /2Find sin θ and tan θ.

sin2 θ = 1 - cos2 θ

= 1 – (-2/ √

5 )2

= 1 – 4/5

= 1/5

sin θ = √(1/5)

= 1/ √ 5 or - 1/ √ 5

Since θ is between π< θ < 3 π /2

sinθ < 0

Hence sinθ = - 1/√5

tan θ = sinθ cos θ

= - 1/ √ 5 ÷ -2/ √

5 = - 1/ √ 5 X - √5 /2

Hence tan θ = 1/2
