Question

Check the injectivity and surjectivity of the following function:

f: R → R given by f(x) = x2

Sum

Solution

f: R → R is given by,

f(x) = x2

It is seen that f(−1) = f(1) = 1, but −1 ≠ 1.

∴ f is not injective.

Now,−2 ∈ R. But, there does not exist any element x ∈ R such that f(x) = x2 = −2.

∴ f is not surjective.

Hence, function f is neither injective nor surjective.
