Ex 1.3, 6 Show that f: [ā1, 1] ā R, given by f(x) = š„/(š„ + 2) is one-one. Find the inverse of the function f: [ā1, 1] ā Range f. (Hint: For y ā Range f, y = f(x) = š„/(š„ + 2) , for some x in [ā1, 1], i.e., x = 2š¦/(1 ā š¦) ) f(x) = x/(x+2) Check one-one f(x1) = š„1/(š„1 + 2) f(x2) = š„2/(š„2 + 2) Rough One-one Steps: 1. Calculate f(x1) 2. Calculate f(x2) 3. Putting f(x1) = f(x2) we have to prove x1 = x2 Putting f(x1) = f(x2) š„1/(š„1 + 2) = š„2/(š„2 + 2) x1(x2 + 2) = x2(x1 + 2) x1x2 + 2x1 = x2x1 + 2x2 x1x2 ā x2x1 + 2x1 = 2x2 0 + 2x1 = 2x2 2x1 = 2x2 x1 = x2 Hence, if f(x1) = f(x2) , then x1 = x2 ā“ f is one-one Checking onto f(x) = š„/(š„ + 2) Putting f(x) = y y = š„/(š„ + 2) y(x + 2) = x yx + 2y = x yx ā x = ā2y x(y ā 1) = ā2y x = (ā2š¦ )/(š¦ ā1) x = (ā2š¦ )/(ā1(āš¦ + 1) ) x = (2š¦ )/((1 ā š¦) ) Now, Checking for y = f(x) Putting value of x in f(x) f(x) = f((2š¦ )/((1 ā š¦) )) = ((2š¦ )/((1 ā š¦) ))/((2š¦ )/((1 ā š¦) ) + 2) = ((2š¦ )/((1 ā š¦) ))/((2š¦ + 2(1 ā š¦) )/((1 ā š¦) )) = 2š¦/(2š¦ + 2 ā 2š¦) = y Thus, for every y ā Range f, there exists x ā [ā1, 1] such that f(x) = y Hence, f is onto Since f(x) is one-one and onto, So, f(x) is invertible And Inverse of x = š^(ā1) (š¦) = (2š¦ )/((1 ā š¦) ) , y ā 1 Note: Here, y ā Range f is important Inverse is not defined for y ā R Because denominator in (2š¦ )/((1 ā š¦) ) will be 0 if y = 1
