(a) Is f f one-to-one? (Answer

Full solution

Q. (a) Is f f one-to-one? (Answer
  1. Define function f(x)f(x): Define the function f(x)f(x) to analyze if it is one-to-one. Assume f(x)=2x+1f(x) = 2x + 1 for this example.
  2. Check one-to-one: To check if ff is one-to-one, set f(a)=f(b)f(a) = f(b) and solve for aa and bb. If a=ba = b, then ff is one-to-one. f(a)=2a+1f(a) = 2a + 1, f(b)=2b+1f(b) = 2b + 1. Set 2a+1=2b+12a + 1 = 2b + 1.
  3. Simplify equation: Simplify the equation: 2a+1=2b+12a + 1 = 2b + 1. Subtract 11 from both sides: 2a=2b2a = 2b. Divide by 22: a=ba = b. Since a=ba = b, ff is one-to-one.
  4. Find f1(1)f^{-1}(1): Now, find f1(1)f^{-1}(1). Set f(x)=1f(x) = 1 to find xx. 2x+1=12x + 1 = 1.
  5. Solve for x: Solve for x: 2x+1=12x + 1 = 1. Subtract 11 from both sides: 2x=02x = 0. Divide by 22: x=0x = 0.
