Question : 37
Total: 50
A function f : R → R defined by f ( x ) = 2 + x 2 is
Solution: 👈: Video Solution
Explanation: Given, f ( x ) = 2 + x 2
For one-one,f ( x 1 ) = f ( x 2 )
⇒ 2 + x 1 2 = 2 + x 2 2
⇒ x 1 2 = x 2 2
⇒ x 1 = ± x 2
⇒ x 1 = x 2
or x 1 = − x 2
Thus,f ( x ) is not one-one.
For onto
Let
∴ f ( x ) = y such that
⇒ x 2 = y − 2
⇒ x = ± √ y − 2
Puty = − 3 , we get
x = ± √ − 3 − 2 = ± √ − 5
Which is not possible as root of negative is not a real number.
Hence,x is not real.
So,f ( x ) is not onto.
For one-one,
Thus,
For onto
Let
Put
Which is not possible as root of negative is not a real number.
Hence,
So,
