Consider the following statements: Statement 1: The function f : R → R such that f(x) = x3 for all x ∈ R is one-one Statement 2: f(a) = f(b) ⇒ a = b for all a, b ∈ R if the function f is one-one. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Consider the following statements: Statement 1: The function f : R → R such that f(x) = x3 for all x ∈ R is one-one Statement 2: f(a) = f(b) ⇒ a = b for all a, b ∈ R if the function f is one-one. Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements? Correct Answer Both the statements are true and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.
Concept:
One-to-One functions define that each element of one set say Set (A) is mapped with a unique element of another set, say, Set (B).
if f(x) = f(y) implies x = y, then f is one-to-one
Calculation:
1. f(x) = x3
f(x1) = x13 and
f(x2) = x23
f(x1) = f(x2) ⇒ x13 = x23
This is one-one function
This statement is correct.
2. f(a) = f(b) ⇒ a = b
Which is definition of one-one function.
Hence, option (1) is correct.
