The correct Answer is:
To classify the function \( f(x) = \frac{x^2}{1 + x^2} \) defined from \( \mathbb{R} \) to \( \mathbb{R} \) as injective, surjective, both, or none, we will analyze its properties step by step. ### Step 1: Check for Injectivity A function is injective (one-to-one) if different inputs produce different outputs. In mathematical terms, if \( f(a) = f(b) \) implies \( a = b \), then the function is injective. 1. Let's assume \( f(a) = f(b) \): \[ \frac{a^2}{1 + a^2} = \frac{b^2}{1 + b^2} \] 2. Cross-multiplying gives: \[ a^2(1 + b^2) = b^2(1 + a^2) \] 3. Expanding both sides: \[ a^2 + a^2b^2 = b^2 + a^2b^2 \] 4. Simplifying leads to: \[ a^2 = b^2 \] 5. This implies \( a = b \) or \( a = -b \). Since both \( a \) and \( b \) can yield the same output for different inputs (e.g., \( f(1) = f(-1) \)), the function is not injective. ### Step 2: Check for Surjectivity A function is surjective (onto) if every element in the codomain has a pre-image in the domain. We need to check if the range of \( f(x) \) covers all real numbers. 1. The function \( f(x) = \frac{x^2}{1 + x^2} \) is always non-negative because both the numerator and denominator are non-negative. 2. The minimum value of \( f(x) \) occurs at \( x = 0 \): \[ f(0) = \frac{0^2}{1 + 0^2} = 0 \] 3. The maximum value occurs as \( x \to \infty \): \[ \lim_{x \to \infty} f(x) = \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{x^2}{1 + x^2} = 1 \] 4. Therefore, the range of \( f(x) \) is \( [0, 1) \). 5. The codomain is \( \mathbb{R} \), which includes negative numbers and values greater than or equal to 1. Since the range \( [0, 1) \) does not cover all of \( \mathbb{R} \), the function is not surjective. ### Conclusion Since the function \( f(x) \) is neither injective nor surjective, we classify it as **none**. ### Summary of Steps: 1. **Check injectivity**: Found that \( f(a) = f(b) \) can yield \( a \neq b \), hence not injective. 2. **Check surjectivity**: Found that the range \( [0, 1) \) does not cover all of \( \mathbb{R} \), hence not surjective.
