Question: The function \(f:\left\lbrack - \frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2} \right\rbrack \rightarrow \left\lbrack \frac...
The function f:[−21,21]→[2π,2π] defined by
f(x)=sin−1(3x−4x3) is
A
Both one-one and onto
B
Neither one-one nor onto
C
Onto but not one- one
D
One- one but not onto
Answer
Onto but not one- one
Explanation
Solution
Since sin−1(3x−4x3)=3sin−1x∈[−2π,2π]i.e.
sin01x∈[−6π,6π]or x∈[−21,21]so fis onto. More ever the function y=sinxis one-one on [−2π,2π]so if f(x1)=f(x2) then sin−1(3x1−4x13)=sin−1(3x2−4x23) which implies that 3x1−4x13=3x2−4x13=sin−1(3x2−4x23) which implies that 3x1−4x13=3x2−4x23. The real solution of the last equation is given by x1=x2. Hence fis one-one.
