Question -

If f: R → R be thefunction defined by f(x) = 4x3 + 7, showthat f is a bijection.



Answer -

Givenf: R → R is a function defined by f(x) = 4x3 +7

Injectivity:

Let x and y beany two elements in the domain (R), such that f(x) = f(y)

 4x+7 = 4y+ 7

 4x= 4y3

 x= y3

 x = y

So, f isone-one.

Surjectivity:

Let y be any element in the co-domain (R), suchthat f(x) = y for some element x in R (domain)

f(x) = y

 4x+7 = y

 4x= y −7

x3 =(y – 7)/4

x = (y-7)/4 in R

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

Since, f is both one-to-one and onto, it is a bijection.
