[JEE Main 2025, 24 Jan (Shift 2)]

a

Onto but not one-one

b

Both one-one and onto

c

One-one but not onto

d

Neither one-one nor onto

✓ Correct answer: c)

One-one but not onto

Explanation

Given, \( f(x)=\frac{2^{2 x}-1}{2^{2 x}+1} \)
\( f(x)=1-\frac{2}{2^{2 x}+1}\)

On differentiating, we get

\(\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})=\frac{2}{\left(2^{2 \mathrm{x}}+1\right)^2} \cdot 2 \cdot 2^{2 \mathrm{x}} \cdot \ln 2 \)

Since \(\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(\mathrm{x})>0\)

so \(\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})\) is increasing function

\( \therefore \mathrm{f}(-\infty)=-1 \)
\( f(\infty)=1 \)
\( \therefore \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x}) \in(-1,1) \neq \) co-domain

so function is one-one but not onto.
