Question : 37 of 50
Marks: +1, -0
A function f:RRf: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} defined by f(x)=2+x2f(x)=2+x^2 is
Explanation: Given, f(x)=2+x2f(x)=2+x^2
For one-one, f(x1)=f(x2)f(x_1)=f(x_2)
2+x12=2+x22\Rightarrow 2+x_1^2=2+x_2^2
x12=x22\Rightarrow x_1^2=x_2^2
x1=±x2\Rightarrow x_1=\pm x_2
x1=x2\Rightarrow x_1=x_2
 or x1=x2\text{ or } x_1=-x_2
Thus, f(x)f(x) is not one-one.
For onto
Let
f(x)=y such that \therefore f(x)=y \text{ such that }
x2=y2\Rightarrow x^2=y-2
x=±y2\Rightarrow x=\pm \sqrt{y-2}
Put y=3y=-3, we get
x=±32=±5x=\pm \sqrt{-3-2}=\pm \sqrt{-5}
Which is not possible as root of negative is not a real number.
Hence, xx is not real.
So, f(x)f(x) is not onto.
