One - One or Injective function -

A function in which every element of range of function corresponds to exactly one elements.

- wherein

A line parallel to x - axis cut the curve at most one point.

 

f(x) = \frac{2x}{x-1}

This can be written as

\\f(x) =2 \left (1 + \frac{1}{x-1} \right )\\ f'(x) = -\frac{2}{(x-1)^2}

\Rightarrowf is one-one i.e injective but not surjective.


Option 1)

 

injective but not surjective

Option 2)

 

neither injective nore surjective

Option 3)

 

not injective

Option 4)

 

surjective but not injective
