at x = 1 and x = -1. So, x = 1 and x = -1 are point of maxima/minima. Option A :
is many-one in
. As x = -1 is a point of maxima/minima. So it is a boundary point in the range
. So,
is one-one in
. Option A is incorrect. Option B :
is one-one in
. As, x = 1 and x = -1 are point of maxima/minima which is present inside the range
. So,
is many-one function in
. Option B is incorrect. Option C :
is one-one in
but not in
. As x = 1 is a point of maxima/minima. So it is a boundary point in the range
. So,
is one-one in
. As, x = 1 and x = -1 are point of maxima/minima which is present inside the range
. So,
is many-one function in
. Option C is correct. Option D :
is many-one in
. As x = 1 is a point of maxima/minima. So it is a boundary point in the range
. So,
is one-one in
.
Option D is incorrect.
Note : Methods to Check One-One Function : (i) If a function is one-one, any line parallel to -axis cuts the graph of the function maximum at one point. (ii) Any continuous function which is entirely increasing or decreasing (no maxima/minima is present) in whole domain will always be one-one function.
and (i) But Hence, and and From (A), (B) and (C) : or 1 Only two functions are possible.
We know that
