Show that f is a function and g is not a function.
2. If \(f(x)=x^2\), find \(\frac{f(1.1)-f(1)}{(1.1-1)}\).
3. Find the domain of the function \(f\left(x\right)=\frac{x^2+2x+1}{x^2-8x+12}\).
4. Find the domain and the range of the real function f defined by \(f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{x-1}\).

9. Let R be a relation from N to N defined by R={\((a,b) : a, b\in N\) and \(a=b^2\)}. Are the following true?
(i) \((a,a) \in R\), for all \(a\in N\)
(ii) \((a,b) \in R\), implies \((b,a) \in R\)
(iii) \((a,b) \in R, (b,c) \in R\) implies \((a,c) \in R\).
Justify your answer in each case.
