Let the function
f
:
R

-
b
→
R
-
1
be defined by
f
x
=
x
+
a
x
+
b
,

(a) f is one-one but not onto
(b) f is onto but not one-one
(c) f is both one-one and onto
(d) None of these

Solution
(c) f is both one-one and onto
Injectivity:
Let x and y be two elements in the domain R- {-b}, such that
f
x
=
f
y
⇒
x
+
a
x
+
b
=
y
+
a
y
+
b
⇒
x

a
y

b
=
x

b
y

a
⇒
x
y

b
x

b

a
x

b
y
+
a
b
⇒
b
x
+
a
y
=
a
x
+
b
y
⇒
a
-
b
x
=
a
-
b
y
⇒
x
=
y
So, f is one-one.
Surjectivity:
Let y be an element in the co-domain of f, i.e. R-{1}, such that f (x)=y
f
x
=
y
⇒
x
+
a
x
+
b
=
y
⇒
x
+
a
=
y
x
+
y
b
⇒
x
-
y
x
=
y
b
-
a
⇒
x

-
y
=
y
b
-
a
⇒
x
=
y
b
-
a

-
y
∈
R
-
-
b
So, f is onto.
