If a function f: R R is defined by f(x)=x^3-x , then f is
Options
- Aone-one and onto
- Bone-one but not onto
- Conto but not one-one
- Dneither one-one nor onto
Correct answer
C. onto but not one-one
Step-by-step solution
Given f: R R such that f(x)=x^3-x=x(x-1)(x+1) f(1)=0=f(0) . So, f(x) is not one-one Since, f(x)=x^3-x is a polynomial function So it is continuous on R and, If x f(x) and x - f(x) - . So, range of f(x) is (- , ) f(x) is an onto function
