g(x) = [tex]\frac{2\left|x\right|}{\sqrt{x^2 +1}}[/tex]
Without sketching any graphs, show that g is NOT one to one.
3. The Attempt at a Solution
Well, I know that in this situation it is required to show that if [tex]f(x_{1}) = f(x_{2})[/tex], then [tex]x_{1} = x_{2}[/tex]
[tex]f(x_{1}) = f(x_{2})[/tex] => [tex]\frac{2\left|x_{1}\right|}{\sqrt{x_{1}^2 +1}}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2\left|x_{2}\right|}{\sqrt{x_{2}^2 +1}}[/tex]
This is interesting! but I'm not quite sure what I should do next...
[tex](2\left|x_{1}\right|) (\sqrt{x_{2}^2 +1})= (2\left|x_{2}\right|) (\sqrt{x_{1}^2 +1})[/tex] ?
Does anybody know how to complete this proof?
