Let f : R → 2 , ∞ be a function defined as f x = x 2 - 12 a x + 15 - 2 a + 36 a 2 . If f x is surjective on R , then the value of a is equal to
Options
- A9 2
- B11 2
- C13 2
- D15 2
Correct answer
C. 13 2
Step-by-step solution
Rewriting the given function, we get, f x = x - 6 a 2 + 15 - 2 a ∵ f x is surjective on R ⇒ 15 – 2 a = 2 ⇒ 2 a = 13 ⇒ a = 13 2
