If the function is defined by , then which of the following statements is TRUE?
  1. (A) is one-one, but NOT onto
  2. (B) is onto, but NOT one-one
  3. (C) is BOTH one-one and onto✓ Correct
  4. (D) is NEITHER one-one NOR onto

Answer: (C)

Solution

is a non-periodic, continuous, and odd function.

For :

For :

As ,

As ,

Therefore, the range of is , so is onto.

For :

Both terms are non-negative (and zero only at ), so for all with equality only at .

Therefore, is strictly increasing, hence one-one.

Thus, is both one-one and onto.
