Prove that the greatest integer function f : R rarrR given by f(x) =[x]is neither one-one nor onto, where [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x.

Answer»

Solution :We have `F(0.5) = [0.5] = 0` and
f(0.75) = [0.75] = 0
THEREFORE` Both 0.5 and 0.75 are mapped to 0
`therefore` f is not one-one
Since the value of f(X) are all INTEGERS, non-integer real numbers can.t have pre-images.
`therefore` f is not onto.
