Show that the function f: R rarr { x in R: -1 lt x lt 1 }defined by f(x)=(x)/(1+|x|), x in Risone- one and onto function .

Answer»

Solution : Let x, `y in R` and,
f(x)=f(y)
`rArrx/(1+|x|)=y/(1+|y|)`
If x is positve and y is negative then `x gt y `
`rArrx-y gt 0 and 2xy LT 0 `
`thereforex/(1+x)=y/(1-y)`
`rArry+ XY =x -xy`
`rArr2xy = x-y` which is impossible then `f(x)=f(y)rArr (x)/(1+x)=(y)/(1+y)`
`rArrx+y`
If x and y both are negative then `f(x)=f(y)rArrx/(1-x)=y/(1-y)`
`rArrx-xy = y-xy`
`rArrx=y`
Therefore , FIS one - one Let y `in ` R be such that `-1 lt y lt 1`
If y is negative then `x=y/(1+y) in R` is such that
`f(x)=f((y)/(1+y))=((y)/(1+y))/(1+|(y)/(1+y)|)=((y)/(1+y))/(1-y/(1+y))=y`
IFY is positive then `x=y/(1-y) in R` is such that `f(x)=f(y/(1-y))=((y)/(1-y))/(1+((y)/(1-y)))=((y)/(1-y))/(1-y/(1+y))=y`
`therefore` f is ONTO
Therefore f is one - one onto .
