MCQ
The signum function, $f: R \rightarrow R$ is given by $f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}1, & x>0 \\ 0, & x=0 \\ -1, & x<0\end{array}\right.$ is
  • A
    One-one
  • B
    Onto
  • C
    Bijective
  • None of these

Answer

Correct option: D.
None of these
(d): We have, $f(1)=f(2)$ $=f(3)=1$
$
\begin{array}{l}
f(0)=0 \\
f(-1)=f(-2)=f(-3)=-1
\end{array}
$
Hence, function $f$ is not one-one.
