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 follow these steps: ### Step 1: Prove that the function is not one-one (injective) **Explanation:** A function is one-one (or injective) if different inputs map to different outputs. In other words, if \( f(a) = f(b) \) implies \( a = b \). **Example:** ...
