Passage-I
A function is called one–one if each element of domain has a distinct image of co–domain or for any
two or more than two elements of domain, function doesn’t have same value. Otherwise function will
be many–one. Function is called onto if co–domain = Range otherwise into. Function which is both
one–one and onto, is called bijective. Inverse is defined only for bijective functions.

 f(x) =  (1)dx  f(x) = –x + C ... (i)
Also, f(0) = 1, therefore – 0 + C = 1  C = 1
Hence, from (i), f(x) = –x + 1  f(x) = 1 – x  f(–10) = 11.

x 0  h0 3  e1/h h0 3e1/h  1

Value of function = f(0) = 0

RHL  value of function
Hence f(x) is not continuous and hence not differentiable also.
Let F(x) = x2 f(x)
F(0  h)  F(0) h2 f( h)  0

Hence, LF  0   RF  0 

Hence, F(x) is differentiable at x = 0, then it is always continuous at x = 0.
