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.
