Class 12 Mathematics - Chapter Relations and Functions NCERT Solutions | Show that the Signum Function f : R &rar
Show that the Signum Function f : R → R, given by
is neither one-one nor onto.
f : R → R, given by
It is seen that f(1) = f(2) = 1, but 1 ≠ 2.
∴f is not one-one.
Now, as f(x) takes only 3 values (1, 0, or - 1) for the element - 2 in co-domain R, there does not exist any x in domain R such that f(x) = - 2.
∴ f is not onto.
Hence, the signum function is neither one-one nor onto.
