Let f: [0, π/2] → R: f(x) = sin x and g: [0, π/2] → R: g(x) = cos x. Show that each one of f and g is one-one but (f + g) is not one-one. |
Answer» For any two distinct elements x1 and x2 in [0, π/2] We know that sin x1 ≠ sin x2 and cos x1 ≠ cos x2 So we get f(x1) ≠ f(x2) and g(x1) ≠ g(x2) Here, both f and g are one-one We know that (f + g) (x) = f( x) + g(x) = sin x + cos x By substituting the values (f + g) (0) = sin 0 + cos 0 = 1 (f + g) (π/2) = sin π/2 + cos π/2 = 1 We know that 0 ≠ π/2 Here, (f + g) (0) = (f + g) (π/2) So, f + g is not one-one. |
