Q74 / 180 · COMEDK 2020 · Mathematics
If $f: R \rightarrow R$ is defined by $f(x)=|x|$, then
- A$f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{|x|}$
- B$f^{-1}(x)=-x$
- C$f^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{x}$
- Correct answerDThe function $f^{-1}(x)$ does not exist.
Solution
Since, $f(x)=|x|$ is neither one-one nor onto, 30 $f(x)$ is not invertible.
$\therefore f^{-1}(x)$ does not exist.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
