Consider f : R → R given by f(x) = 4x + 3. Show that f is invertible. Find the inverse of f.
f: R → R is given by,
f(x) = 4x + 3
One-one:
Let f(x) = f(y).
∴ f is a one-one function.
Onto:
For y ∈ R, let y = 4x + 3.
Therefore, for any y ∈ R, such that
∴ f is onto.
Thus, f is one-one and onto and therefore, f - 1 exists.
Let us define g: R→ R by.
∴
Hence, f is invertible and the inverse of f is given by
In each of the following cases, state whether the function is one-one, onto or bijective. Justify your answer.
(i) f : R → R defined by f(x) = 3 – 4x
(ii) f : R → R defined by f(x) = 1 + x2
Show that the Modulus Function f : R → R, given by f(x) = |x|, is neither oneone nor onto, where | x | is x, if x is positive or 0 and |x| is – x, if x is negative.
Prove that the Greatest Integer Function f : R → R, given by f(x) = [x], is neither one-one nor onto, where [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x.
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.
If f(x) = , show that fof(x) = x, for all x ≠ 2/3. What is the inverse of f ?
