Which of the following is NOT a property of a relation?

  1. Reflexivity

  2. Symmetry

  3. Transitivity

  4. Injectivity


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Injectivity is a property of functions, not relations.

Given the relation (R = {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4)}, what is the domain of (R)?

  1. {1, 2, 3}

  2. {2, 3, 4}

  3. {1, 2, 3, 4}

  4. {1, 3}


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The domain of a relation is the set of all first elements in the ordered pairs.

Which of the following is an example of a function?

  1. (f(x) = x^2)

  2. (R = {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 4)}

  3. (S = {(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 2)}

  4. (T = {(1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 4)}


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A function is a relation that assigns to each element of a set a unique element of another set.

What is the range of the function (f(x) = 2x + 1) when the domain is ({1, 2, 3})?

  1. {3, 5, 7}

  2. {1, 3, 5}

  3. {2, 4, 6}

  4. {0, 2, 4}


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The range of a function is the set of all second elements in the ordered pairs.

Which of the following functions is injective?

  1. (f(x) = x^2)

  2. (f(x) = |x|)

  3. (f(x) = 2x + 1)

  4. (f(x) = x + sin(x))


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A function is injective if it preserves distinct elements, meaning different inputs always produce different outputs.

Which of the following functions is surjective?

  1. (f(x) = x^2)

  2. (f(x) = |x|)

  3. (f(x) = 2x + 1)

  4. (f(x) = x + sin(x))


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A function is surjective if every element in the codomain is the output of at least one element in the domain.

Which of the following functions is bijective?

  1. (f(x) = x^2)

  2. (f(x) = |x|)

  3. (f(x) = 2x + 1)

  4. (f(x) = x + sin(x))


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A function is bijective if it is both injective and surjective.

What is the inverse of the function (f(x) = 3x - 2)?

  1. (f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x + 2}{3})

  2. (f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x - 2}{3})

  3. (f^{-1}(x) = \frac{1}{3}x + 2)

  4. (f^{-1}(x) = \frac{1}{3}x - 2)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The inverse of a function is the function that undoes the original function.

Which of the following relations is an equivalence relation?

  1. Congruence modulo 5

  2. Divisibility by 2

  3. Parallelism of lines

  4. Similarity of triangles


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An equivalence relation is a relation that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.

What is the composition of the functions (f(x) = x^2) and (g(x) = x + 1)?

  1. (h(x) = x^2 + 1)

  2. (h(x) = x^2 + 2x + 1)

  3. (h(x) = x^3 + x + 1)

  4. (h(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 + 1)


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The composition of two functions (f) and (g) is (h(x) = f(g(x))).

Which of the following is an example of a many-to-one function?

  1. (f(x) = x^2)

  2. (f(x) = |x|)

  3. (f(x) = 2x + 1)

  4. (f(x) = \lfloor x \rfloor)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A many-to-one function is a function where multiple inputs can map to the same output.

Which of the following is an example of a one-to-many function?

  1. (f(x) = x^2)

  2. (f(x) = |x|)

  3. (f(x) = 2x + 1)

  4. (f(x) = sin(x))


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A one-to-many function is a function where one input can map to multiple outputs.

What is the domain of the function (f(x) = \frac{1}{x})?

  1. {0}

  2. All real numbers except 0

  3. {1}

  4. {2}


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values.

Which of the following functions is continuous at (x = 0)?

  1. (f(x) = x^2)

  2. (f(x) = |x|)

  3. (f(x) = \frac{1}{x})

  4. (f(x) = sin(x))


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A function is continuous at a point if the limit of the function as the input approaches that point exists and is equal to the value of the function at that point.
