Question:

Which one of the following functions is one-to-one?

Updated On: Jun 6, 2024
  • $ f(x)=\sin x,x\in [-\pi ,\pi ] $
  • $ f(x)=\sin x,x\in \left[ -\frac{3\pi }{2},-\frac{\pi }{4} \right] $
  • $ f(x)=\cos x,x\in \left[ -\frac{\pi }{2},\frac{\pi }{2} \right] $
  • $ f(x)=\cos x,x\in [\pi ,2\pi ) $

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

In the given options (a), (b), (c), (e) the curves are decreasing and increasing in the given intervals, so it is not one-to-one function. But in option (d), the curve is only increasing in the given intervals, so it is one-to-one function.

Functions

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.

Kinds of Functions

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.
