The correct Answer is:
To classify the function \( f(x) = x|x| \) defined from \( \mathbb{R} \) to \( \mathbb{R} \) as injective, surjective, both, or neither, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the function The function \( f(x) = x|x| \) can be expressed in piecewise form: - For \( x \geq 0 \): \( f(x) = x^2 \) - For \( x < 0 \): \( f(x) = -x^2 \) ### Step 2: Analyze injectivity A function is injective (one-to-one) if different inputs produce different outputs. 1. **For \( x \geq 0 \)**: - The function \( f(x) = x^2 \) is a parabola opening upwards. It is increasing for \( x \geq 0 \), meaning it is injective in this interval. 2. **For \( x < 0 \)**: - The function \( f(x) = -x^2 \) is a parabola opening downwards. It is decreasing for \( x < 0 \), meaning it is also injective in this interval. 3. **Check for overlap**: - For \( x_1 \geq 0 \) and \( x_2 < 0 \), \( f(x_1) = x_1^2 \) (which is non-negative) and \( f(x_2) = -x_2^2 \) (which is non-positive). Therefore, there is no overlap in outputs for \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \). Since \( f(x) \) is injective in both intervals and does not overlap, we conclude that \( f(x) \) is injective. ### Step 3: Analyze surjectivity A function is surjective (onto) if every possible output in the codomain \( \mathbb{R} \) is achieved by some input from the domain. 1. **Range for \( x \geq 0 \)**: - The output of \( f(x) = x^2 \) for \( x \geq 0 \) is \( [0, \infty) \). 2. **Range for \( x < 0 \)**: - The output of \( f(x) = -x^2 \) for \( x < 0 \) is \( (-\infty, 0) \). 3. **Combine the ranges**: - The combined range of \( f(x) \) is \( (-\infty, 0] \). Since the function does not cover all real numbers (specifically, it does not cover any positive values), \( f(x) \) is not surjective. ### Conclusion The function \( f(x) = x|x| \) is injective but not surjective. ### Final Classification - **Injective**: Yes - **Surjective**: No - **Both**: No - **None**: No Thus, the function is classified as **injective**. ---
