Functions Ques 56
- If $f$ is an even function defined on the interval $(-5,5)$, then four real values of $x$ satisfying the equation $f(x)=f\left(\frac{x+1}{x+2}\right)$ are

Answer:
Correct Answer: 56.(a)
Solution:
- Given,
$$ f(x)=2 x+\sin x $$
$\Rightarrow$
$$ f^{\prime}(x)=2+\cos x \quad \Rightarrow \quad f^{\prime}(x)>0, \forall x \in R $$
which shows $f(x)$ is one-one, as $f(x)$ is strictly increasing. Since $f(x)$ is increasing for every $x \in R$,
$\therefore f(x)$ takes all intermediate values between $-\infty$ and $\infty$.
Range of $f(x)$ is a subset of $R$.
Hence, $f(x)$ is one-to-one and onto.
