Mark (√) against the correct answer in the following:
f : N → N : f(x) = 2x is
f(x) = 2x
For One - One
f(x1) = 2x1
f(x2) = 2x2
put f(x1) = f(x2) we get
2x1 = 2x2
Hence, if f(x1) = f(x2), x1 = x2
Function f is one - one
For Onto
f(x) = 2x
let f(x) = y, such that y∈N
2x = y
⇒
If y = 1
x =
which is not possible as x∈N
Hence, f is not onto., f is into
Hence, option b is correct
