Let f : R → R be a function defined by $f(x)=\frac{e^{[x]}-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}$. Then |
f is both one-one and onto f is one-one but not onto f is onto but not one-one f is neither one-one nor onto |
f is neither one-one nor onto |
$f : R → R$ $f(x)=\frac{e^{|x|}-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}$ $f(-2)=\frac{e^{|-2|}-e^{2}}{e^{-2}+e^{2}}=\frac{e^{2}-e^{2}}{e^{-2}+e^{2}}=0$ $f(-3)=\frac{e^{|-3|}-e^{3}}{e^{-3}+e^{3}}=\frac{e^{3}-e^{3}}{e^{-3}+e^{3}}=0$ Hence, we can see for different values of x we are getting same values of f(x). That means, the given function is many one. ∴ f is not injective. For $x<0$ $f(x)=0$ For $x>0$ $f(x)=\frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}$ $⇒f(x)=\frac{e^x-e^{-x}-2e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}=1-\frac{2e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}$ The value of $\frac{2e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}$ is always positive. ∴ The value of f(x) is always less than 1. Numbers more than 1 are not included in the range but they are included in co-domain. |
