Given, function f:R→R such that f(x)=1+x

Let A and B be two sets of real numbers.
Let x

,x

∈A such that f(x

)=f(x

).
⇒1+x

. Thus f(x
1
)=f(x
2
) does not imply that x
1
=x
2
.
For instance, f(1)=f(−1)=2, i.e. , two elements (1, -1) of A have the same image in B. So, f is many-one function.
Now, y=1+x
2
⇒x=
y−1
⇒elements < y have no pre-image in A (for instance an element -2 in the codomain has no pre-image in the domain A). So, f is not onto.
Hence, f is neither one-one onto. So, it is not bijection
