Given that f : R -->R and greatest integer function f(x) = [x]
Now let x = 1.2
f(1.2) = [1.2] = 1 ..........1
Again let x = 1.9
f(1.9) = [1.9] = 1 ...........2
from equation 1 and 2, we get
f(1.2) = f(1.9)
But 1.2 ≠ 1.9
So f(x) = [x] is not one-one.
Again let 0.7 ∈ R
But it is known that f(x) = [x] is always an integer.
So there does not exist any element x ∈ R such that f(x) = 0.7
So the greatest integer function f(x) = [x] is neither one-one nor onto.
Hense proved.
