Functions Question 709

Question: The range of the function $ f(x){{=}^{7-x}}{P_{x-3}} $ is

Options:

A) $ {1,2,3} $

B) $ {1,2,3,4,5,6} $

C) $ {1,2,3,4} $

D) $ {1,2,3,4,5} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] The given function $ f(x){{=}^{7-x}}{P_{x-3}} $ would be defined, if (i) $ 7-x>0\Rightarrow x<7 $ (ii) $ x-3\ge 0\Rightarrow x\ge 3 $ (iii) $ (x-3)\le (7-x)\Rightarrow 2x\le 10\Rightarrow x\le 5 $
$ \Rightarrow x=3,4,5, $ Hence, range of $ f(x)={{{}^{4}}P_0{{,}^{3}}P_1{{,}^{2}}P_2} $ Range of $ f(x)={1,3,2} $
