Check whether $\displaystyle \mathrm{f}: \mathrm{R}-\{3\} \rightarrow \mathrm{R}$ defined as $\displaystyle \mathrm{f}(x)=\frac{x-2}{x-3}$ is onto or not.Check whether $\displaystyle \mathrm{f}: \mathrm{Z} \times \mathrm{Z} \rightarrow \mathrm{Z} \times \mathrm{Z}$ (where Z is the set of integers) defined as $\displaystyle \mathrm{f}(x, \mathrm{y})=(2 \mathrm{y}, 3 x)$ is injective or not.
Check whether $\displaystyle \mathrm{f}: \mathrm{R}-\{3\} \rightarrow \mathrm{R}$ defined as $\displaystyle \mathrm{f}(x)=\frac{x-2}{x-3}$ is onto or not.
Check whether $\displaystyle \mathrm{f}: \mathrm{Z} \times \mathrm{Z} \rightarrow \mathrm{Z} \times \mathrm{Z}$ (where Z is the set of integers) defined as $\displaystyle \mathrm{f}(x, \mathrm{y})=(2 \mathrm{y}, 3 x)$ is injective or not.
Marking-scheme solution
Let $\displaystyle \mathrm{y}=\dfrac{x-2}{x-3}$ i.e. $\displaystyle x=\dfrac{3\mathrm{y}-2}{\mathrm{y}-1}$
Here $\displaystyle \mathrm{y} \neq 1 \therefore \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{f}}=\mathrm{R}-\{1\} \neq$ Codomain
$\displaystyle \therefore \mathrm{f}$ is not onto.
Let $\displaystyle \left(x_{1}, \mathrm{y}_{1}\right),\left(x_{2}, \mathrm{y}_{2}\right) \in \mathrm{Z} \times \mathrm{Z}$ such that $\displaystyle \mathrm{f}\left(x_{1}, \mathrm{y}_{1}\right)=\mathrm{f}\left(x_{2}, \mathrm{y}_{2}\right)$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow\left(2 \mathrm{y}_{1}, 3 x_{1}\right)=\left(2 \mathrm{y}_{2}, 3 x_{2}\right)$
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow \mathrm{y}_{1}=\mathrm{y}_{2}, x_{1}=x_{2}$
So, $\displaystyle \left(x_{1}, \mathrm{y}_{1}\right)=\left(x_{2}, \mathrm{y}_{2}\right)$
$\displaystyle \therefore \mathrm{f}$ is injective.
