An injective map is a map which has at least one unique preimage for each element of its set of destination.

Formal definition

For two sets AA and BB, the map f:ABf: A \rightarrow B is injective if and only if, we have:
yB\forall y \in B, there is at least one xAx \in A such as f(x)=yf(x)=y.

    1. Soient (a,b)R×R(a,b) \in \mathbb R^{^{*}} \times \R, et l’application f:xRax+bRf : x \in \R \longmapsto ax+b \in \R est injective.

    2. Soit aRa\in\mathbb R. Sur quel intervalle IR{a}I\subset\mathbb R\setminus\{a\} l’application gI1(xa)2Rg\in I\longmapsto \frac{1}{(x-a)^2}\in\mathbb R est-elle injective ?

    3. À quelle condition sur (a,b,c)R3(a,b,c) \in \R^{3} l’application h:xRax2+bx+cRh : x \in \R \longmapsto ax^{2}+bx+c \in \R est-elle injective ?
