If f: R R is defined as f(x)=x^2-2 x-3 then f is
Options
- Aone-one but not onto
- Bonto but not one-one
- Cneither one-one nor onto
- Da bijection
Correct answer
C. neither one-one nor onto
Step-by-step solution
f(x)=x^2-2 x-3 for one one Let f ( x ₁ )= f ( x ₂ ) aligned & x₁^2=2 x₁-3=x₂^2-2 x₂-3 & x₁^2-x₂^2-2 (x₁-x₂ )=0 & (x₁-x₂ ) [x₁+x₂-2 ]=0 & x₁=x₂ or x₁+x₂=2 aligned So, f(x) is not one-one for onto Let y=x^2-2 x-3=0 aligned & x^2-2 x-3-y=0 & x= 2 4-4(3+y) 2 =1 4+y & 4+y 0=y -4 & range =-4 codomain (R) aligned So, f(x) is not onto
