    This document describes activities to visualize one-to-one and onto functions geometrically, restrict domains and codomains to make functions bijections, and visualize the composition of two functions geometrically. The activities involve using interactive applets to draw graphs of functions, observe intersections with lines, and trace loci to represent function composition. Restricting domains and codomains transforms non-bijective functions into bijections. Composing two functions f and g geometrically follows the path D, where B=f(A), C=g(B), and D completes the rectangle ABCD.

    FUNCTIONS

    Aim :

    • To visualise one to one and onto function geometrically.

    • To restrict the domain and co-domain of functions so as to make

    it a bijection.

    • To visualise composition of two functions geometrically.

    Concepts :

    • One to one and onto functions

    • Composition of functions

    Activity 18.1 - One to One and Onto Functions - 1

    • Draw the graph of f (x) = x2

    • Create a slider a and plot the point (0, a)

    • Draw a line through the point and perpendicular to the y axis.

    1
    • Plot the points of intersection of the line with the curve.

    • If for any value of a, the line meets the curve at more than one

    point, can we say whether the function one to one or not. Why ?

    Answer

    • If for all values of a, the line meets the curve at atleast one point,

    can we say whether the function onto or not. Why ?

    Answer

    • Using above applet, say whether the function f : R → R defined

    above is one to one or onto.


    Answer

    2
    • Keeping above ideas in mind, one can say whether a function is

    one to one or onto, by observing its graph, even without drawing

    the horizontal line.

    F Save the file as Activity 18.1

    Activity 18.2 - One to One and Onto Functions - 2

    • Open Activity 18.1 and save as Activity 18.2

    • Draw the graphs of the following functions defined from R to R

    and say whether they are one to one or onto. Find the range of

    the function in each case.

    Activity 18.3 - Bijective Functions

    • Draw the graph of the function f : R → R defined by

    f (x) = x2 + 1. Is it one-one or onto ?

    Answer

    • Redefine the function by restricting its domain so that it becomes

    one-one.
    Answer

    • Redefine the function by restricting its co-domain so that it

    becomes onto
    Answer

    • So the function f : [0, ∞) → [1, ∞) defined by f (x) = x2 + 1 is a

    bijection.

    • Draw the graph of the above function.

    (Use input command if(x >= 0, x2 + 1) or if(x >= 0, f ) or

    Function(f, 0, infinity))

    5
    • If we define f : (−∞, 0] → [1, ∞) then also it becomes a

    bijection. Draw the graph of this function.

    • Restrict domain and co-domain of the following functions so that

    they becomes bijections.
