is the inverse of
So,
We need to find out when
Clearly this happens for
So
So
Hence, the correct answer is (2).
Top Questions on Functions
- Determine those values of $x$ for which $f(x) = \frac{2}{x} - 5$, $x \ne 0$ is increasing or decreasing.
- If $ f(x) = 2x^2 - 3x + 5 $, find $ f(3) $.
Let A be the set of 30 students of class XII in a school. Let f : A -> N, N is a set of natural numbers such that function f(x) = Roll Number of student x.
Give reasons to support your answer to (i).- Assertion (A): Let \( A = \{ x \in \mathbb{R} : -1 \leq x \leq 1 \} \). If \( f : A \to A \) be defined as \( f(x) = x^2 \), then \( f \) is not an onto function.
Reason (R): If \( y = -1 \in A \), then \( x = \pm \sqrt{-1} \notin A \). Find the domain of the function \( f(x) = \cos^{-1}(x^2 - 4) \).

Types of Functions
One to One Function
A function is said to be one to one function when f: A → B is One to One if for each element of A there is a distinct element of B.
Many to One Function
A function which maps two or more elements of A to the same element of set B is said to be many to one function. Two or more elements of A have the same image in B.
Onto Function
If there exists a function for which every element of set B there is (are) pre-image(s) in set A, it is Onto Function.
One – One and Onto Function
A function, f is One – One and Onto or Bijective if the function f is both One to One and Onto function.
