Let A = [–1, 1], Then, discuss whether the following functions from A to itself are one – one, onto or bijective:
TIP: – One – One Function: – A function is said to be a one – one functions or an injection if different elements of A have different images in B.
So, is One – One function
⇔ a≠b
⇒ f(a)≠f(b) for all
⇔ f(a) = f(b)
⇒ a = b for all
Onto Function: – A function is said to be a onto function or surjection if every element of A i.e, if f(A) = B or range of f is the co – domain of f.
So, is Surjection iff for each
, there exists
such that f(a) = b
Bijection Function: – A function is said to be a bijection function if it is one – one as well as onto function.
Now, here f: A → A: A = [–1, 1] given by function is
Check for Injectivity:
Let x, y be elements belongs to A i.e. such that
⇒ f(x) = f(y)
⇒
⇒ 2x = 2y
⇒ x = y
1 belongs to A then
Not element of A co – domain
Hence, f is not One – One function
Check for Surjectivity:
Let y be element belongs to A i.e be arbitrary, then
⇒ f(x) = y
⇒
⇒ x = 2y
Now,
1 belongs to A
⇒ x = 2, which not belong to A co – domain
Hence, f is not onto function
Thus, It is not Bijective function
