Q80 / 150 · MHT CET 2012 · Mathematics

$f: R \rightarrow R$, then $f(x)=x|x|$ will be

  • A
    many-one-onto
  • Correct answer
    B
    one-one-onto
  • C
    many-one-into
  • D
    one-one-into

Solution

Given, $f: R \rightarrow R, \quad f(x)=x|x|$ Redefined the function, $$ f(x)=\left\{\begin{aligned} -x^{2}, & x < 0 \\ 0, & x=0 \\ x^{2}, & x>0 \end{aligned}\right. $$Figure
The graph of $f(x)$ shows that it is a bijective (one-one-onto) function.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
