CBSE Class 12 Sample Paper for 2021 Boards
Question 21 The function 𝑓: R⟶ R defined as 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥3 is: (a) One-on but not onto (b) Not one-one but onto (c) Neither one-one nor onto (d) One-one and onto
f(x) = x3
Checking one-one
f(x1) = (x1)3
f(x2) = (x2)3
Thus,
f (x1) = f (x2)
(x1)3 = (x2)3
∴ x1 = x2
Since if f(x1) = f(x2) , then x1 = x2
∴ It is one-one
Check onto
f(x) = x3
Let f(x) = y , such that y ∈ R
x3 = y
x = 𝒚^(𝟏/𝟑)
Here y is a real number i.e. y ∈ R
And, For all values of y, we will get a value of x,
Where x ∈ R
So, f is onto
Thus, f is one-one and onto
So, the correct answer is (d)
