If $\mathrm{R}$ denotes the set of all real numbers then the function $\mathrm{f}: \mathrm{R} \rightarrow \mathrm{R}$ defined by $f(x)=|x|$ is
  1. injective and surjective.
  2. neither injective nor surjective.
  3. injective.
  4. surjective.

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{f}: \mathrm{R} \rightarrow \mathrm{R}, \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=|\mathrm{x}| \\ & \because \mathrm{f}(-1)=\mathrm{f}(1)=1\end{aligned}$ i.e. not injection and range of $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})$ is $[0, \infty]$ Hence, not surjection
