Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:

Let f: R R be given by f(x) = [x]2 + [x + 1]–3, where [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x. Then, f(x) is


Given that f: R R be given by f(x) = [x]2 + [x + 1] – 3


As [x] is the greatest integer so for different values of x, we will get same value of f(x).


[x]2 + [x + 1] will always be an integer.


So, f is many-one.


Similarly, in this function co domain is mapped with at most one element of domain because for every x ϵ R, f(x) ϵ Z.


So, f is into.
