EX 1.5
Choose the correct or the most suitable answer.
Question 1.

Solution:
(c) 1
Hint.
$\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B}=(0,1)$
$\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{A} \cap \mathrm{B})=1$

Hint.
$
\begin{aligned}
& A=\{0,-1,1,2\} \\
& \left|x^2+y^2\right| \leq 2
\end{aligned}
$
The values of $x$ and $y$ can be $0,-1$ or 1
So range $=\{0,-1,1\}$

(a) $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{lll}-2 x & \text { if } & x \in(-\infty,-2] \\ 4 & \text { if } & x \in(-2,2] \\ 2 x & \text { if } & x \in(2, \infty)\end{array}\right.$
(b) $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{lll}2 x & \text { if } & x \in(-\infty,-2] \\ 4 x & \text { if } & x \in(-2,2] \\ -2 x & \text { if } & x \in(2, \infty)\end{array}\right.$

Hint.
$
\begin{gathered}
f(x)=|\mathrm{x}-2|+|\mathrm{x}+2| \\
f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{c}
-(x-2)-(x+2)=-2 x, x \in(-\infty,-2] \\
-(x-2)+(x+2)=4, x \in(-2,2] \\
x-2+x+2=2 x, x \in(2, \infty]
\end{array}\right. \\
\therefore f(x)=\quad\left\{\begin{array}{c}
-2 x, x \in(-\infty,-2] \\
4, x \in(-2,2] \\
2 x, x \in(2, \infty]
\end{array}\right.

(a) Reflexive
(b) Symmetric
(c) Transitive
(d) Equivalence

$(4,4\} \notin \mathrm{R} \Rightarrow \mathrm{R}$ is not reflexive
$(1,4),(4,1) \in R \Rightarrow R$ is symmetric
$(1,4),(4,1) \in \mathrm{R}$ but $(4,4) \notin \mathrm{R}$
So $\mathrm{R}$ is not transitive

& 2+1 \geq-2 \sin x+1 \geq-2+1 \\
& \text { (i.e.) } 3 \geq 1-2 \sin x \geq-1 \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} \leq \frac{1}{1-2 \sin x} \leq-1 \\
& \Rightarrow \text { The range is }(-\infty,-1] \cup\left[\frac{1}{3}, \infty\right)
\end{aligned}
$

& \text { When } y=8 \sqrt{x} \\
& \sqrt{x}=\frac{y}{8}(\text { or }) x=\frac{y^2}{64} \\
& \therefore f^{-1}(x)=\frac{x^2}{64} \\
& \therefore f^{-1}(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}
x & x<1 \\
\sqrt{x} & 1 \leq x \leq 16 \\
\frac{x^2}{64} & x>16
