Check Function \(f(x)=3-4x\) on \( \mathbb{R} \)

📺 Video Explanation

📝 Question

Check whether the function

\[ f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R},\quad f(x)=3-4x \]

is:

• injection (one-one)
• surjection (onto)
• bijection

---

✅ Solution

🔹 Step 1: Check Injection (One-One)

Assume:

\[ f(x_1)=f(x_2) \]

Then:

\[ 3-4x_1=3-4x_2 \]

So:

\[ x_1=x_2 \]

✔ Function is one-one.

---

🔹 Step 2: Check Surjection (Onto)

Let:

\[ y\in\mathbb{R} \]

Need:

\[ 3-4x=y \]

So:

\[ -4x=y-3 \]

\[ x=\frac{3-y}{4} \]

Since:

\[ \frac{3-y}{4}\in\mathbb{R} \]

every real number has pre-image.

✔ Function is onto.

---

🎯 Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\text{f is one-one and onto}} \]

So:

✔ Injection
✔ Surjection
✔ Bijection
