Let A = \(\begin{bmatrix}1 & 1 & -2\\2 & 1 & -3\\5 & 4 & -9\end{bmatrix}\)
By expanding along the first row, we have:
|A| = 1\(\begin{vmatrix}1 & -3\\4 & -9\end{vmatrix}\) - 1\(\begin{vmatrix}2 & -3\\5 & -9\end{vmatrix}\) - 2\(\begin{vmatrix}2 & 1\\5 & 4\end{vmatrix}\)
= 1(-9 + 12) – 1(-18 + 15) -2(8 – 5)
= 1(3) – 1 (-3) – 2(3)
= 3 + 3 – 6
= 6 – 6
= 0
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.
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
