Check Injective / Surjective

🎥 Video Explanation


📝 Question

Let \( f:\left[-\tfrac12,\tfrac12\right] \to \left[-\tfrac{\pi}{2},\tfrac{\pi}{2}\right] \) be defined by

\[ f(x)=\sin^{-1}(3x-4x^3) \]

  • A. bijection
  • B. injection but not a surjection
  • C. surjection but not an injection
  • D. neither

✅ Solution

🔹 Step 1: Key Identity

\[ 3x – 4x^3 = \sin(3\theta) \quad \text{if } x=\sin\theta \]

Let \(x=\sin\theta\), where \(\theta \in \left[-\tfrac{\pi}{6},\tfrac{\pi}{6}\right]\)

🔹 Step 2: Transform Function

\[ f(x)=\sin^{-1}(\sin 3\theta) \]

Since \(3\theta \in \left[-\tfrac{\pi}{2},\tfrac{\pi}{2}\right]\),

\[ \sin^{-1}(\sin 3\theta)=3\theta \]

🔹 Step 3: Final Form

\[ f(x)=3\theta = 3\sin^{-1}(x) \]

🔹 Step 4: Check Injective

\(\sin^{-1}(x)\) is strictly increasing ⇒ so is \(3\sin^{-1}(x)\)

✔️ Injective

🔹 Step 5: Check Surjective

When \(x \in \left[-\tfrac12,\tfrac12\right]\),

\[ \sin^{-1}(x) \in \left[-\tfrac{\pi}{6},\tfrac{\pi}{6}\right] \]

\[ f(x)=3\sin^{-1}(x) \in \left[-\tfrac{\pi}{2},\tfrac{\pi}{2}\right] \]

Matches codomain ⇒ ✔️ Onto

🔹 Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\text{Option A: bijection}} \]
