Question

If f (x) = 2 [x] + cos x, then f: R → R is: (where [. ] denotes greatest integer function)

Options

A.one-one and onto
B.one-one and into
C.many-one and into
D.many-one and onto

Solution

f(x) = 2[x] + cos x
f(x) = cos x     x ∈ [0, 1)
= 2 + cos x     x ∈ [1, 2)
= 4 + cos x    x ∈ [2, 3)
= 6 + cos x    x ∈ [3, 4)
for x ∈ [0, 1)    f′(x) = - ve
     x ∈ [1, 2)    f′(x) = - ve
     x ∈ [2, 3)    f′(x) = - ve
     x ∈ [3, 4)    f′(x) = + ve
⇒ function is not one-one
if x ∈ [0, 1)  range : [1, cos 1)
x ∈ [1, 2)    range : [2 + cos 1, 2 + cos 2)
not onto function
