16. Find the domain and range of the real function, defined by \( f(x)=\frac{x^{2}}{\left(1+x^{2}\right)} \). Show that \( f \) is many-one.Not through graphical method. 

Answer»

f (x) = \(\frac {x^2}{1+x^2}\) 

Since, \(x^2 \geq 0\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(1+ x^2 \geq 1 > 0\)

\(\therefore\) Domain of function f (x) is R.

Also, \(x^2 + 1 > x^2\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac {x^2}{x^2+1} < 1\) 

Also \(x^2 \geq 0 \) & \(x^2 + 1 \geq 0\) 

\(\therefore\) \(\frac {x^2}{x^2+1}\geq0\) 

Hence, 0 \(\leq \frac {x^2}{x^2+1} < 1\)

\(\therefore\) Range of function f (x) is (0,1)

\(\because\) f (-1) = \(\frac {(-1)^2}{(-1)^2 +1} = \frac 12\)  (\(\because\) f (-1) = f(1))

f (1) = \(\frac 1{1+1} = \frac 12\) (\(\because\) f is many one function)
