Answer :

It is given that f: R {x R : – 1 < x < 1} defined by , x R

Now, suppose that f(x) = f(y), where x,y ϵ R.



We can see that if x is positive and y is negative, then we get:



Since, x is positive, and y is negative.


Then, 2xy ≠ x –y.


Thus, the case of x being positive and y being negative can be ruled out.


Similarly, x being negative and y being positive can also be ruled out.


Therefore, x and y have to be either positive or negative.


When x and y are both positive, we get:


f(x) = f(y)



And when x and y are both negative, we get:


f(x) = f(y)



f is one- one.


Now, let y ϵ R such that -1 < y < 1.


It y is negative, then there exists such that



f is onto.


Therefore, f is one – one and onto.
