Transformation of a variable

120 Views Asked by At

Let say $x$ is a continuous variable such that $-a\leq x\leq a$, $a>0$. Is there any way to transform this variable so that the resultant variable can take any value in real line?

I am looking for some $1:1$ transformation so that I can also make reverse transformation.

Yes. Here are several examples: $$x \rightarrow \tan\left(\frac{\pi x}{2 a}\right).$$ $$x \rightarrow \frac{1}{x/a-1}+\frac{1}{x/a+1}.$$
