Options:

A) many-one and onto

B) many-one and into

C) one-one and onto

D) one-one and into

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ f(x)={e^{x^{3}-3x+2}} $

Let $ g(x)=x^{3}-3x+2; $

$ g’(x)=3x^{2}-3=3(x^{2}-1) $

$ \ge 0 $ for $ x\in (-\infty ,-1] $

Therefore, $ f(x) $ is increasing function hence $ f(x) $ is one-one.

Now, the range of $ f(x) $ is $ (0,e^{4}] $ .

But co-domain is $ (0,e^{5}] $ . Hence., $ f(x) $ is an into function.
