One-one,many one,onto,into?

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\LARGE f:R \rightarrow R ~and ~f(x)=\frac{e^{|x|}-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have you graphed it?

OpenStudy (dls):

I broke this into 2 parts.. \[f(x)= \frac{e^x-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}~if~x>=0\] \[f(x)= \frac{e^{-x}-e^{-x}}{e^x+e^{-x}}~if~x>=0\] I don't know how to graph it.

OpenStudy (dls):

sorry its x<=0 in 2nd one*

OpenStudy (dls):

I'm taking the wrong LCM after this won't it be e^x^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

https://www.desmos.com/calculator just type y=(your equation)

OpenStudy (dls):

how do i input a fraction? and BTW i don't want to solve it by graph.I want to know what will we get after taking the LCM.

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\LARGE e^{x}+\frac{1}{e^x}=?\]

OpenStudy (dls):

won't it be \[\LARGE \frac{e^{x^2}+1}{e^x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey if u take LCM in 1st eqn (the one u get by breaking in parts), u get:\[\frac{ e ^{x ^{2}} - 1 }{ e ^{x ^{2}} + 1 } \] And u get zero for second part... So it is Many one(coz for all x>=0 we get 0) and Onto(coz x belongs to Real Nos.)

OpenStudy (dls):

Why is desmo's graph like this then? http://prntscr.com/12y5qc it is forever increasing..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry x<=0 in second part

OpenStudy (dls):

my solution says after taking LCM that it's.. \[\LARGE \frac{e^{2x}-1}{e^{2x}+1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so isnt my answer correct (even acc. to the graph)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats wt i said @DLS

OpenStudy (dls):

forever increasing functions are one-one because a value can't be repeated

OpenStudy (dls):

u wrote e to the power x squared and its e to the power 2x :|

OpenStudy (dls):

WF says too that its e to the power 2x :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooooohhh yeah sorry!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (dls):

how is it 2x!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(e^x) * (e^x) = e^2x [base are same powers are added]

OpenStudy (dls):

oh :P i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But the answer still remains same!!!!!!

OpenStudy (dls):

Well its many one into..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No its onto only

OpenStudy (dls):

since codomain is not equal to range :|

OpenStudy (dls):

codomain is R and range is only +ve numbers

OpenStudy (dls):

didn't we prove just now that all negative values will get attached to 0 :o

OpenStudy (dls):

so on this base we can say all negative values are getting attached to 0 so many one and into

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Range = codomain is a condition for surjective funx(one one and onto both)

OpenStudy (dls):

but range is not equal to codomaain
