Let tan-1 x ∈(\(-\frac π2\) \(\frac π2\)) for x ∈ R Then the number of real solutions of the equation √1 + cos (2x) = √2 tan -1 (tan x) in the set (- 3π/2, - π/2) ∪ (- π/2, π/2) ∪ (π/2, 3π/2) is equal to
Number of solutions = Number of intersection points = 3.
A function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output. Let A & B be any two non-empty sets, mapping from A to B will be a function only when every element in set A has one end only one image in set B.
The different types of functions are -
One to One Function: When elements of set A have a separate component of set B, we can determine that it is a one-to-one function. Besides, you can also call it injective.
Many to One Function: As the name suggests, here more than two elements in set A are mapped with one element in set B.
Moreover, if it happens that all the elements in set B have pre-images in set A, it is called an onto function or surjective function.
Also, if a function is both one-to-one and onto function, it is known as a bijective. This means, that all the elements of A are mapped with separate elements in B, and A holds a pre-image of elements of B.
