Let `A={x:xepsilonR-}f` is defined from `ArarrR` as `f(x)=(2x)/(x-1)` then `f(x)` is (a) Surjective but nor injective (b) injective but nor surjective (c) neither injective surjective (d) injectiveA. injective but not surjectiveB. not injectiveC. surjective but not injectiveD. neither injective nor surjective |
Answer» Correct Answer - A We have a function `f:A to R "defined as, " f(x)=(2x)/(x-1)` One-one let `x_(1),x_(2) in A` such that `f(x_(1))=f(x_(2))` `rArr (2x_(1))/(x_(1)-1)=(2x_(2))/(x_(2)-1)` `rArr 2x_(1)x_(2)-2x_(1)=2x_(1)x_(2)-2x_(2)` `rArr x_(1)=x_(2)` Thus, `f(x_(1))=f(x_(2))` has only one solution `x_(1)=x_(2)` ` therefore` f(x) is one-one (injective) Onto Let `x = 2 " then " f(2)=(2xx2)/(2-1)=4` But x = 2 is not in the domain, and f(x) is one-one function ` therefore f(x)` can never be 4. similarly, f(x) can not take many values. Hence, f(x) is into (not surjective). `therefore f(x)` is injective but not surjective. |
