Let \(A\,=\,\{\,x\,\in \,R\,:\,x\) is not a positive int eger \(\}\) Define a function \(f\,:\,A\,\to \,R\) as \(f\,(x)\, = \frac{{2x}}{{x - 1}}\) then \(f\) is

  1. A injective but nor surjective
  2. B not injective
  3. C surjective but not injective
  4. D neither injective nor surjective
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) injective but nor surjective

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f\left( x \right) = 2\left( {1 + \frac{1}{{x + 1}}} \right)\) \(f'\left( x \right) = - \frac{2}{{{{\left( {x - 1} \right)}^2}}}\) \( \Rightarrow \) \(f\) is one - one but not onto.
