Answer» One – One Function: – A function f: A → B is said to be a one – one functions or an injection if different elements of A have different images in B. So, f: A → B is One – One function ⇔ a≠b ⇒ f(a)≠f(b) for all a, b ∈ A ⇔ f(a) = f(b) ⇒ a = b for all a, b ∈ A Onto Function: – A function f: A → B is said to be a onto function or surjection if every element of A i.e, if f(A) = B or range of f is the co – domain of f. So, f: A → B is Surjection iff for each b ∈ B, there exists a ∈ B such that f(a) = b Bijection Function: – A function f: A → B is said to be a bijection function if it is one – one as well as onto function. Now, f : R → R, defined by f(x) = sin2x + cos2x Check for Injectivity and Check for Surjectivity Let x be element belongs to R i.e x ∈ R such that So, from definition ⇒ f(x) = sin2x + cos2x ⇒ f(x) = sin2x + cos2x ⇒ f(x) = 1 ⇒ f(x) = constant We know that a constant function is neither One – One function nor onto function. Thus, It is not Bijective function |
