✓ 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.
