Solution
f : R → R is given by,
f(x) = |x| = `{(x", if" x ≥ 0), (-x", if" x < 0):}`
It is seen that f(–1) = |–1| = 1, f(1) = |1| = 1
∴ f(–1) = f(1), but –1 ≠ 1.
∴ f is not one-one.
Now, consider –1 ∈ R.
It is known that f(x) = |x| is always non-negative. Thus, there is no element –1 in the codomain R that can get the value of f(x).
∴ f is not onto.
Hence, the modulus function is neither one-one nor onto.
