Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 11. (a)

Solution:

  1. Given,

$$ f(x)=2 x+\sin x $$

$\Rightarrow$

$$ f^{\prime}(x)=2+\cos x \quad \Rightarrow \quad f^{\prime}(x)>0, \forall x \in R $$

which shows $f(x)$ is one-one, as $f(x)$ is strictly increasing. Since, $f(x)$ is increasing for every $x \in R$,

$\therefore f(x)$ takes all intermediate values between $(-\infty, \infty)$.

Range of $f(x) \in R$.

Hence, $f(x)$ is one-to-one and onto.
