Activity 1.

Relations and Functions


Objective: To verify that the relation R in the set L of all lines in a plane defined as { (a , b): a is perpendicular to b } is
symmetric but neither reflexive nor transitive.

Material required: graph paper, Pencil, scale, eraser, glue .

Procedure: 1 Take a graph paper and paste it on the practical file .

2 Draw straight lines on the graph paper in such a way that some of them are parallel and some are perpendicular to
the first drawn parallel lines and some are iinclinded to the given drawn lines denoted by A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2

Observation: 1 From the construction we observe is perpendicular to and is perpendicular to

Thus the relation is Symmetric.

2 Also we can observe that no line is perpendicular to itself

Thus R is not Reflexive.

3 From the construction we observe,

Thus R is not transitive relation.

Conclusion: Relation R in the set L of all lines in a plane defined as { (a , b): a isperpendicular to b } is symmetric but neither

reflexive nor transitive.


Activity 2. Relations and Functions

Objective: To verify that the relation R in the set L of all lines in a plane defined as { (a , b) : a is parallel to b } is an Equivalence
relation.

Material required: graph paper, pencil, scale, eraser, glue .

Procedure: 1 Take a graph paper and paste it on the practical file .

2 Draw straight lines on the graph paper in such a way that some of them are parallel and some are perpendicular to
the first drawn parallel lines and some are iinclinded to the given drawn lines denoted by A1, A2,A3, B1, and C1

Observation: 1 Since every line is parallel to itself, thus given relation is reflexive.

2 By construction we know that

Thus relation is also symmetric.


3 By construction we know that

Thus relation is also transitive.

Conclusion: Relation R in the set L of all lines in a plane defined as { (a , b): a is parallel to b } is an Equivalence relation.
Activity 3. Relations and Functions

Objective: To identify whether the given function is Injective, Surjective or a Bijective function by considering domains and
Codomains.

Material required: White sheet, pencil, pen, scale, scissors, glue.

Procedure: 1 Take two colour sheets of paper, cut out four rectangular strips and paste them on a white sheet.

2 Consider a function f(x) =

3 Assume the different domains and co-domains of the function f(x).

Observation:

Conclusion: Any function, whether it is Injective, Surjective or Bijective can be identified by this method.
Activity 4. Applications of Derivative
Objective: To understand the concept of increasing and decreasing functions.

Material required: Graph paper, pencil, pen,scale, glue .

Procedure: 1 Take a white paper and draw two perpendicular lines to represent x and y axis respectively
2 Draw two curve representing two functions f(x) and g(x).
3 Take three points A, B and C on the left and three points on the right cuvers L,M and N
4 Draw tangent on the curve f(x) at points A, B and C making angles with the positive direction of x-axis
as shown.
5 Draw tangent on the curve f(x) at points L, M and N making angles with the positive direction of x-axis
as shown.

Observation: 1 Angles made by the tangents drawn to the function f(x) at the points A, B and C are acute, thus slope of the tangents at
these points that is the derivative of the function at these points is positive.Thus given f(x) is Increasing function.

2 Angles made by the tangents drawn to the function g(x) at the points L, M and N are obtuse, thus slope of the tangents
at these points that is the derivative of the function at these points is negative.Thus given g(x) is Deccreasing function.

Conclusion: A function f(x) is said to be an increasing function in [a,b] if f '(x) > 0 and it is a decreasing function if f '(x) < 0 for every x

belonging to the interval [a,b].


Activity 5. Applications of Derivative

Objective: To verify that that amongst all the rectangles of same perimeter, the square has the maximum area.

Material required: White sheet, pencil, pen,scale, glue .

Procedure: 1 Consider a rectangle of perimeter 52 cm.

2 Draw rectangles on white sheet of different dimensions such that perimeter remains as 52 cm.

Observation:

Conclusion: The activity can be used to explain the concept of maxima and minima.
