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:

  • [d] $ 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.
