Functions 3 Question 8

8. Let f:(0,1)R be defined by f(x)=bx1bx, where b is a constant such that 0<b<1. Then,

(2011)

(a) f is not invertible on (0,1)

(b) ff1 on (0,1) and f(b)=1f(0)

(c) f=f1 on (0,1) and f(b)=1f(0)

(d) f1 is differentiable on (0,1)

Assertion and Reason

For the following questions, choose the correct answer from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) defined as follows.

(a) Statement I is true, Statement II is also true;

Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I.

(b) Statement I is true, Statement II is also true; Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I.

(c) Statement I is true; Statement II is false.

(d) Statement I is false; Statement II is true.

Answer:

Correct Answer: 8. (b)

Solution:

  1. PLAN To check nature of function

(i) One-one To check one-one, we must check whether f(x)>0 or f(x)<0 in given domain.

(ii) Onto To check onto, we must check Range = Codomain

Description of Situation To find range in given domain [a,b], put f(x)=0 and find x=α1,α2,, αn[a,b]

Now, find f(a),f(α1),f(α2),,f(αn),f(b)

its greatest and least values gives you range.

Now, f:[0,3][1,29]

f(x)=2x315x2+36x+1f(x)=6x230x+36=6(x25x+6)=6(x2)(x3)+++23

For given domain [0,3],f(x) is increasing as well as decreasing many-one

 Now, put f(x)=0x=2,3

Thus, for range f(0)=1,f(2)=29,f(3)=28

Range [1,29]

Onto but not one-one.
