FUNCTION(Special type of relation):- A relation f from a set A to a set B is said to be a function if every
element of set A has one and only one(Unique) image in set B. And denoted by f : A B . Here A is
domain and B is the co-domain.
If f is a function from A to B and a, b f , then f a b , where b is called the image of a under f , and
a is called the pre-image of b under f .
A function having either R(real numbers) or one of its subsets as its range is called a real-valued function.
Further, if its domain is also either R, or a subset of R, it is called a real function.
Number of functions from A to B = Number of elements in BNumber of elements in A

Algebra of Real Function:-
Addition of two real functions:- Let f : X → R and g : X → R be any two real functions, where X ⊂ R.
Then, we define (f + g ): X → R by, (f + g) (x) = f (x) + g (x), for all x ∈ X.
Subtraction of a real function:- from another Let f : X → R and g: X → R be any two real functions,
where X ⊂ R. Then, we define (f – g) : X→R by, (f–g) (x) = f(x) –g(x), for all x ∈ X.
Multiplication by a scalar:- Let f : X→R be a real valued function and α be a scalar. Here by scalar, we
mean a real number. Then the product α f is a function from X to R defined by, (α f ) (x) = α f (x), x ∈X.
Multiplication of two real functions:- The product (or multiplication) of two real functions f:X→R and
g:X→R is a function fg:X→R defined by (fg) (x) = f(x) g(x), for all x ∈ X. This is also called point-wise
