real analysis - Is there a bijection from [0,1] to R?



I'm looking for a bijection from the closed interval [0,1] to the real line. I have already thought of tan(xπ2) and cotπx, but these functions aren't defined on 0 and 1.




Does anyone know how to find such a function and/or if it even exists?



Thanks in advance!


Answer



Use Did's method here to construct a bijection [0,1](0,1). Play around with tan for a bijection (0,1)R



Note that any bijection cannot be continuous. This is because [0,1] is compact.
