JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2019 - 9th April Morning Slot - No. 9)

If the function ƒ : R – {1, –1} $$ \to $$ A defined by
ƒ(x) = $${{{x^2}} \over {1 - {x^2}}}$$ , is surjective, then A is equal to
R – (–1, 0)
R – {–1}
R – [–1, 0)
[0, $$\infty $$)

Explanation

Let ƒ(x) = $${{{x^2}} \over {1 - {x^2}}}$$ = y

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$y\left( {1 - {x^2}} \right) = {x^2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${x^2} = {y \over {1 + y}}$$

As $${x^2}$$ is always $$ \ge $$ 0.

$$ \therefore $$ $${y \over {1 + y}}$$ $$ \ge $$ 0

y $$ \in $$ $$\left( { - \infty , - 1} \right) \cup \left[ {0,\left. \infty \right)} \right.$$

For surjective function co-domain = Range

$$ \therefore $$ A is R – [–1, 0).
