Problem:
Verify that f(x) = (2x - 1)/(2x(1-x)) defines a bijection from the interval (0,1) to R (all rational numbers). (Hint: In the proof that f is surjective, use the quadratic formula).
In order for the function to be bijective it needs to be surjective and injective. I need to prove these two things. But not sure how. And I'm not sure how I'm supposed to turn that function into A,B,C components for the quadratic formula.
Any ideas?
