Let be defined as: and . Then the function is
  1. (A)onto but not one-one
  2. (B)both one-one and onto
  3. (C)one-one but not onto
  4. (D)neither one-one nor onto✓ Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

For : , so , an increasing function.
For : , so .
Both branches take values in (never negative), so misses every negative value — not onto.
Also, e.g. gives , and a suitable negative gives the same value from the other branch — two different inputs, same output, so not one-one.
Hence is neither one-one nor onto.
