# Show that the Function F: ℝ → ℝ Defined by F(X) = X/(X^2 + 1), ∀X in RIs Neither One-one Nor Onto. Also, If G: ℝ → ℝ is Defined as G(X) = 2x - 1. Find Fog(X) - CBSE (Commerce) Class 12 - Mathematics

#### Question

Show that the function f: ℝ → ℝ defined by f(x) = x/(x^2 + 1), ∀x in Ris neither one-one nor onto. Also, if g: ℝ → ℝ is defined as g(x) = 2x - 1. Find fog(x)

#### Solution

Given y = x/(x^2+1)

=> yx^2 - x +  y = 0

Here a = y, b = -1 and c = y

:. x = (-(-1)+- sqrt(1-4y^2))/(2y)

Clearly for every value of y, x will have two different values so the function is many−one not one−one

Since 1 -4y^2 >= 0 => (1+2y)(1-2y)>= 0 => (-1)/2 <= y ><= 1/2

That means no matter what is x, y always belongs to the interval [(-1)/2, 1/2]

So, the function is not onto

Now, fog(x) = (2x-1)/((2x-1)^2 +1) = (2x+1)/(4x^2 - 4x + 1+1) = (2x+1)/(2(2x^2 - 2x + 1))

Is there an error in this question or solution?
