Let f: ℝ arrow ℝ be defined as f(x) = (2x^2 - 3x + 2)/(3x^2 + x +...
Let be defined as . Then is :
Options
- Aboth one-one and onto
- Bone-one but not onto
- Conto but not one-one
- Dneither one-one nor onto
Correct answer
D. neither one-one nor onto
Step-by-step solution
Given
To check for one-one, let
Cross-multiplying and simplifying, we get:
This implies or .
Since for (for example, ), the function is many-one (not one-one).
To check for onto, let
For , the discriminant :
Since the range is a proper subset of the codomain , the function is not onto.
Thus, is neither one-one nor onto.
