The function f: R R is defined by f(x)=3^ -x . Observe the following statements of it I. f is one-one II. f is onto III. f is a decreasing function Out of these, true statement are
Options
- AOnly I, II
- BOnly II,III
- COnly I,III
- DI,II,III
Correct answer
A. Only I, II
Step-by-step solution
Since, f: R R such that f(x)=3^ -x . Let y₁ and y₂ be two elements of f(x) such that aligned & y₁=y₂ & 3^ -x₁ =3^ -x₂ x₁=x₂ & aligned Since, if two images are equal, then their elements are equal, therefore it is one-one function Let y=3^ -x On differentiating w.r.t. x , we get d y d x =-3^ -x 3 < 0 for every value of x It is decreasing function Statement I and II are true.
