In each of the following cases, state whether the function is one-one, onto or bijective. Justify your answer.

  1. f : R → R defined by f(x) = 3 – 4x
  2. f : R → R defined by f(x) = 1 + x2

Solution:

(i) f : R → R characterized by f(x) = 3 – 4x

On the off chance that x1, x2 ∈ R

f(x1) = 3 – 4×1 and f(x2) = 3 – 4×2

On the off chance that f(x1) = f(x2) x1 = x2 Therefore, f is one-one.

Once more,

f(x) = 3 – 4x or y = 3 – 4x

or then again x = (3-y)/4 in R

f((3-y)/4) = 3 – 4((3-y)/4) = y

f is onto.

Thus f is onto or bijective.

(ii) f : R → R characterized by f(x) = 1 + x2

On the off chance that x1, x2 ∈ R

f(x1) = 1 + ????2 and f(x2) = 1 + ????2

On the off chance that f(x1) = f(x2) ????2 = ????2

1 2

This suggests x1 ≠ x2

Along these lines, f isn’t one-one

Once more, if each component of co-area is picture of some component of Domain under f, with the end goal that f(x) = y

f(x) = 1 + x2

y = f(x) = 1 + x2 or x = ±√1 − ????

Along these lines, f(√1 − ???? ) = 2 – y ≠ y

Along these lines, f isn’t onto or bijective.
