Applications Of Derivatives Question 75

Question: The function $ f:[0,3]\to [1,29], $ defined by $ f(x)=2x^{3}-15x^{2}+36x+1 $ , is

Options:

A) One-one and onto

B) Onto but not one-one

C) One-one but not onto

D) Neither one-one nor onto

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] $ f(x)=2x^{3}-15x^{2}+36x+1 $

$ f’(x)=6x^{2}-30x+36=6(x-2)(x-3) $ Thus, $ f(x) $ is increasing in $ [0,2] $ and decreasing in $ [2,3] $ . Therefore $ f(x) $ is many-one. $ f(0)=1;f(2)=29;f(3)=28 $ Range is $ [1,29] $ .

Hence, $ f(x) $ is many-one-onto.
