MCQ
$f : R \to R$ is defined as

$f(x) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{{x^2} + 2mx - 1\,,}&{x \leq 0}\\
{mx - 1\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,,}&{x > 0}
\end{array}} \right.$

 If $f (x)$ is one-one then the set of values of $'m'$ is

  • $( - \infty ,0)$
  • B
    $\left( { - \infty ,0} \right]$
  • C
    $\left( {0,\infty } \right)$
  • D
    $\left[ {0,\infty } \right)$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$( - \infty ,0)$
a
For $f$ to be one - one vertex must lie on or to the right of $y -$ axis.

$\therefore  - m \ge 0 \Rightarrow m \le 0$

for $m = 0,\,\,f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{{x^2} - 1,}&{x \le 0}\\
{ - 1,}&{x > 0}
\end{array}} \right.$           which is not

one - one

$\therefore m \in \left( { - \infty ,0} \right)$
