Al 1 2 21 fter completing this chapter you should be able to represent a mapping by a diagram, by an equation and by a graph understand the terms function, domain and range combine two or more functions to make a composite function know the difference between a ‘one to one’ and ’many to one’ function know how to find the inverse of a function know the relationship between the graph of a function and its inverse. A mapping transforms one set of numbers into a different set of numbers. The ‘mapping can be described in words or through an algebraic equation. It can also bbe represented by a Cartesian graph.
