Prove that the function f : R → R, given by f(x) = 2x, is one-one and onto.

Class 12, NCERT Chapter 1, Example10

f is one-one,

f (x 1) = f (x 2)

⇒

2 x 1 = 2 x 2

⇒

x 1 = x 2

Also, given any real number y in R,

there exists y/2 in R,

such that

f( y/2 ) = 2.( y/2 ) = y.

Hence, f is onto

Comments

. Let f : R → R be defined as f(x) = 3x. Choose the correct answer. (A) f is one-one onto (B) f is many-one onto (C) f is one-one but not onto (D) f is neither one-one nor onto.

Class 12, NCERT Chapter 1, Exercise 1.2, Q12 f : R → R defined as f ( x ) = 3 x . Let x , y ∈ R such that f ( x ) = f ( y ). ⇒ 3 x = 3 y ⇒ x = y ∴ f is one-one. Also, for any real number ( y) in co-domain R , there exists in R such that . ∴ f is onto. Hence, function f is one-one and onto. The correct answer is A.

Let f : N → N be defined by f (n) ={ (n+1)/2, if n is odd and (n-1)/2, if n is even, for all n ∈ N.State whether the function f is bijective. Justify your answer

Class 12, NCERT Chapter 1, Exercise 1.2, Q9 Thus it is bijective.

Show that a one-one function f : {1, 2, 3} → {1, 2, 3} must be onto.

Class 12, NCERT Chapter 1, Example14 Since f is one-one, three elements of {1, 2, 3} must be taken to 3 different elements of the co-domain {1, 2, 3} under f. Hence, f has to be onto .
