Consider f : R+ → [– 5, ∞) given by f(x) = 9x2 + 6x – 5. Show that f is invertible
with .
f: R+ → [ - 5, ∞) is given as f(x) = 9x2 + 6x - 5.
Let y be an arbitrary element of [ - 5, ∞).
Let y = 9x2 + 6x - 5.
∴f is onto, thereby range f = [ - 5, ∞).
Let us define g: [ - 5, ∞) → R+ as
We now have:
∴ gof = IR+ and
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.
Consider f : {1, 2, 3} → {a, b, c} given by f(1) = a, f(2) = b and f(3) = c. Find f –1 and show that (f –1)–1 = f.
Let f : X → Y be an invertible function. Show that f has unique inverse.
(Hint: suppose g1 and g2 are two inverses of f. Then for all y ∈ Y, fog1(y) = 1Y(y) = fog2(y). Use one-one ness of f).
