Consider a function f:[0,π2]→Rf: \left[0, \dfrac{\pi}{2}\right] \to R given by f(x)=sin⁡xf(x) = \sin x and g:[0,π2]→Rg: \left[0, \dfrac{\pi}{2}\right] \to R given by g(x)=cos⁡xg(x) = \cos x, where RR is set of real numbers then which of the following are correct?

A. ff is one-one

B. gg is one-one

C. f+gf + g is one-one

D. f+gf + g is not one-one

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

On [0,π2]\left[0,\frac{\pi}{2}\right], sin⁡x\sin x is strictly increasing and cos⁡x\cos x strictly decreasing, so both are one-one, making A and B true. However f+g=2sin⁡(x+π4)f+g=\sqrt{2}\sin\left(x+\frac{\pi}{4}\right) takes the value 11 at both x=0x=0 and x=π2x=\frac{\pi}{2}, so it is not one-one: D is true and C false.
