The function $f : [0, ∞) → R$ given by $f(x) =\frac{x}{x+1}$, is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
We have,
$f(x) =\frac{x}{x+1}=1-\frac{1}{1+x}$
Let $x, y ∈ R$ be such that $f(x) = f(y)$. Then,
$f(x) = f(y)$
$⇒1-\frac{1}{1+x}=1-\frac{1}{1+y}⇒1+x=1+y⇒x=y$
∴ f is one-one.
Clearly, f is not onto as f takes only values less than 1 i.e. Range f = (-∞, 1) ≠ co-domain of f.
