Question

answer this questionfor the function f(x) =x^3 defined in R, which of the following statement is true

Answer 1

Answer:

one−one test for f:

Let x and y be two elements of domain (R), such that

⇒ f(x)=f(y)

⇒ x

3

+4=y

3

+4

⇒ x

3

=y

3

⇒ x=y

∴ f is one-one.

onto test for f:

Lety be in the co-domain (R), such that,

⇒ f(x)=y

⇒ x

2

+4=y

⇒ x=

3

y−4

∈R (Domain)

∴ f is onto.

Since, f is one-one and onto then it is bijective.

∴ f is invertible.
