Question

Show that the modulus function f: → R given by f(x) = |x| is neither one-one nor onto, where |x| is x, if x is positive or 0 and |x|  is − x if x is negative.

Sum

Solution

f: R → R is given by,

`f(x) =  |x| =  [(x,if x>= 0), (-x, if x < 0)]`

It is seen that `f(-1) = |-1| = 1, f(1) = |1| = 1`

∴f(−1) = f(1), but −1 ≠ 1.

∴ f is not one-one.

Now, consider −1 ∈ R.

It is known that f(x) = |x| is always non-negative. Thus, there does not exist any element x in domain R such that f(x) =|x|  = −1.

∴ f is not onto.

Hence, the modulus function is neither one-one nor onto.
