For f(x) = 2x from R to R, the function is:
- Only one-one, not onto
- Only onto, not one-one
- Neither one-one nor onto
- Both one-one and onto
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: D. Both one-one and onto
1. Doubling distinct reals gives distinct reals, so f is one-one.
2. Any real y is reached by taking x as half of y.
3. So over the reals the same rule is one-one and onto.
