Q1 FREE PREVIEW

A function \(f: R^{+} \rightarrow R\) (where \(R^{+}\) is the set of all non-negative real numbers) defined by \(f(x)=4 x+3\) is :

a

one-one but not onto

b

onto but not one-one

c

both one-one and onto

d

neither one-one nor onto

✓ Correct answer: a)

one-one but not onto

Explanation

One-One:

Let \(f\left({x}_{1}\right)=f\left({x}_{2}\right)\).

\(4{x}_{1}+3=4{x}_{2}+3\)

\({x}_{1}={x}_{2}\)

Onto:

\(y=4x+3\)

\(x=\frac{y-3}{4}\)

\(x\in [0,\infty )\Rightarrow y\geq 3\)

Range \(=[3,\infty )\neq R\)
