calculus - To show that f(x)=|cosx|+|sinx| is not one one and onto and not differentiable




Let f:R[0,2] be defined by f(x)=|cosx|+|sinx|. I need to show that f is not one one and onto. I have only intuitive idea that cosx is even function so image of x and x are same. Not one to one , but how do I properly check for other things. Hints ? Thanks


Answer



(i) f(0)=f(2π)=f(4π)= not one to one.



(ii) Can we find xR so that f(x)=0codomf, i.e. does |cosx|+|sinx|=0 have any real solutions?



(iii) Does f(0)=lim exist?



Edit:




We have



\lim_{x \to 0^-} \dfrac{|\cos x| + |\sin x| - 1}{x} = \lim_{x \to 0^-} \dfrac{\cos x - \sin x - 1}{x} \stackrel{\mathcal{L}}{=} \lim_{x \to 0^-} -\sin x - \cos\ x = -1.




But,



\lim_{x \to 0^+} \dfrac{|\cos x| + |\sin x| - 1}{x} = \lim_{x \to 0^+} \dfrac{\cos x + \sin x - 1}{x} \stackrel{\mathcal{L}}{=} \lim_{x \to 0^+} -\sin x + \cos\ x = 1.



Therefore,




\lim_{x \to 0} \dfrac{|\cos x| + |\sin x| - |\cos 0|-|\sin 0|}{x-0}



does not exist. Hence, f is not differentiable on its entire domain.
