To prove that the Greatest Integer Function \( f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} \) defined by \( f(x) = [x] \) (where \([x]\) denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to \( x \)) is neither one-one nor onto, we will analyze both properties step by step. ### Step 1: Proving that \( f \) is not one-one (injective) A function \( f \) is said to be one-one if \( f(a) = f(b) \) implies \( a = b \) for all \( a, b \in \mathbb{R} \). **Example:** Consider the values: ...
