Let f:R→Rf: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} be defined as f(x)=100x+1f(x) = 100x + 1, where R\mathbb{R} is a set of real numbers, then

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

To determine if f(x)=100x+1f(x) = 100x + 1 is one-one (injective), assume f(x1)=f(x2)f(x_1) = f(x_2):

100x1+1=100x2+1100x_1 + 1 = 100x_2 + 1

100x1=100x2100x_1 = 100x_2

x1=x2x_1 = x_2

Since f(x1)=f(x2)f(x_1) = f(x_2) implies x1=x2x_1 = x_2, different inputs produce different outputs.

Therefore, ff is one-one.


To determine if f(x)=100x+1f(x) = 100x + 1 is onto (surjective), let yy be any real number.

Find xx such that f(x)=yf(x) = y:

100x+1=y100x + 1 = y

100x=y−1100x = y - 1

x=y−1100x = \frac{y - 1}{100}

For any real number yy, the value x=y−1100x = \frac{y - 1}{100} is a real number and satisfies f(x)=yf(x) = y.

Therefore, ff is onto.


Since ff is both one-one and onto, ff is a bijection.

The function f(x)=100x+1f(x) = 100x + 1 is both one-one and onto.
