1.Relation and Function
normal
$f : R \to R$ is defined as
$f(x) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{{x^2} + 2mx - 1\,,}&{x \leq 0}\\
{mx - 1\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,,}&{x > 0}
\end{array}} \right.$
If $f (x)$ is one-one then the set of values of $'m'$ is
A
$( - \infty ,0)$
B
$\left( { - \infty ,0} \right]$
C
$\left( {0,\infty } \right)$
D
$\left[ {0,\infty } \right)$
Solution
For $f$ to be one – one vertex must lie on or to the right of $y -$ axis.
$\therefore – m \ge 0 \Rightarrow m \le 0$
for $m = 0,\,\,f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{{x^2} – 1,}&{x \le 0}\\
{ – 1,}&{x > 0}
\end{array}} \right.$ which is not
one – one
$\therefore m \in \left( { – \infty ,0} \right)$
