f:[−1,1]→R is given as f(x)=xx+2

Let,f(x)=f(y).⇒xx+2=yy+2⇒xy+2x=xy+2y⇒2x=2y⇒x=y

∴ f is a one-one function.

It is clear that f:[−1,1]→ Range f is onto.

∴ f:[−1,1]→ Range f is one-one onto and therefore, the inverse of the function:

f:[−1,1]→ Range f exists.

Let g: Range f→[−1,1] be the inverse of f.

Let y be an arbitrary element of range f.

Since f:[−1,1]→ R

It is given that f (x)=4x+36x−4, x≠23

(fof) (x)=f (f (x))=f (4x+36x−4)=4 (4x+36x−4)+36 (4x+36x−4)−4=16x+12+18x−1224x+18−24x+16=34x34=x

Therefore fof (x)=x for all x≠23

⇒fof=1

Hence, the given function f is invertible and the inverse of f is itself.

To prove:

(f+g)oh=foh+gohconsider:((f+g)oh)(x)=(f+g)(h(x))=f(h(x))+g(h(x))=(foh)(x)+(goh)(x)={(foh)+(goh)}(x)∴((f+g)oh)(x)={(foh)+(goh)}(x),∀x∈RHence,(f+g)oh=foh+goh

To prove

(f.g)oh=(foh).(goh)Consider((f.g)oh)(x)=(f.g)(h(x))=f(h(x)).g(h(x))=(foh)(x).(goh)(x)={(foh).(goh)}(x)∴((f.g)oh)(x)={(foh).(goh)}(x),∀x∈RHence,(f.g)oh=(foh).(goh)

The functions f: {1, 3, 4} → {1, 2, 5} and g: {1, 2, 5} → {1, 3} are defined as

f = { (1, 2), (3, 5), (4, 1)} and g = { (1, 3), (2, 3), (5, 1)}.

gof (1) = g (f (1) = g (2) = 3 [f (1) = 2 and g (2) = 3]

gof (3) = g (f (3) = g (5) = 1 [f (3) = 5 and g (5) = 1]

gof (4) = g (f (4) = g (1) = 3 [

Given,  f:R→R defined as f (x)=3x

For x1, x2∈R such that f (x1)=f (x2)

⇒3x1=3x2

⇒x1=x2

So,  f is one-one

And for y∈R , there exist y3∈R such that

f (y3)=3×y3=y

∴f is onto

Hence, option (A) is correct.

Given,  f:R→R defined by f (x)=x4

For x1, x2∈R such that f (x1)=f (x2)

⇒x14=x24

⇒x1=±x2

⇒x1=x2 or x1=−x2

So,  f is not one-one

The range of f (x) is a set of all positive real numbers which is not equal to co-domain R

So,  f in not onto

∴ Option (D) is correct

Given, f:A→B defined by f(x)=(x−2x−3)

Let x1,x2∈A=R−{3} such that

f(x1)=f(x2)

⇒x1−2x1−3=x2−2x2−3

⇒(x1−2)(x2−3)=(x2−2)(x1−3)

⇒x1x2−3x1−2x2+6=x2x1−3x2−2x1+6

⇒2x1−3x1=2x2−3x2

⇒−x1=−x2

⇒x1=x

So, f is one-one

For y∈B=R−{1} there exist f(x)=y such that

x−2x−3=y

⇒x−2=xy−3y

⇒x−xy=2−3y

⇒x(1−y)=2−3y

⇒x=2−3y1−y where y≠1.∈A

Thus, f(2−3y1−y)=(2−3y1−y)−2(2−3y1−y)−3=2−3y−2+2y2−3y−3+3y

⇒−y−1=y

∴f is onto

Given, f:N→N defined f(x)=(x+12,ifx  is  oddx2,ifx  is  even) ∪x∈N

Let x1=1 and x2=2∈N,

f(x1)=f(x2)⇒f(1)=f(2)

⇒1+12=22

⇒1=1 but 1≠2

So, f is not one-one

For x= odd and x∈N , say x=2C+1 where C∈N

There exist (4C+1) ∈N such that

(4C+1)=4C+1+12=2C+1.∈N

And for x= even ∈N , say x=2C where C∈N

There exist (4C)∈N such that

Given, f:A×B→B×A defined as f(a,b)=(b,a)

Let (a1,b1),(a2,b2)∈A×B such that

f(a1,b1)=f(a2,b2)

⇒(b1,a1)=(b2,a2)

So, b1=b2 and a1=a2

⇒(a1,b1)=(a2,b2)

∴f is one-one

For (a,b)∈B×A

There exist (a,b)∈A×B such that f(a,b)=(b,a)

∴f is onto

Hence, f is bijective
