Relations and Functions

Question:

Which of the following functions from $Z$ into $Z$ are bijections?

Options:

$f(x) = x^3$

$f(x) = x + 2$

$f(x) = 2x + 1$

$f(x) = x^2 + 1$

Correct Answer:

$f(x) = x + 2$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → $f(x) = x + 2$ ##

Here, $f(x) = x + 2 \Rightarrow f(x_1) = f(x_2)$

$x_1 + 2 = x_2 + 2 \Rightarrow x_1 = x_2$

Let $y = x + 2$

$x = y - 2 \in Z, \forall y \in Z$

Hence, $f(x)$ is one-one and onto.
