If┬аf:┬аR┬атЖТ┬аR┬аbe thefunction defined by┬аf(x) = 4x3┬а+ 7, showthat┬аf┬аis a bijection.



Answer -

Givenf:┬аR┬атЖТ┬аR┬аis a function defined by┬аf(x) = 4x3┬а+7

Injectivity:

Let┬аx┬аand┬аy┬аbeany two elements in the domain (R), such that┬аf(x) = f(y)

тЗТ┬а4x3┬а+7┬а=┬а4y3┬а+┬а7

тЗТ┬а4x3┬а=┬а4y3

тЗТ┬аx3┬а=┬аy3

тЗТ┬аx┬а=┬аy

So,┬аf┬аisone-one.

Surjectivity:

Let┬аy┬аbe any element in the co-domain┬а(R),┬аsuchthat┬аf(x) = y┬аfor some element┬аx┬аin┬аR (domain)

f(x) = y

тЗТ┬а4x3┬а+7┬а=┬аy

тЗТ┬а4x3┬а=┬аy┬атИТ7

тЗТ x3┬а=(y тАУ 7)/4

тЗТ x = тИЫ(y-7)/4 in R

So, for every elementin the co-domain, there exists some pre-image in the domain. f┬аis onto.

Since,┬аf┬аis both one-to-one and onto, it is a bijection.
