Maths · One-one, into and onto functions

The function \rightarrow\left(\mathbf{0}, e^{5}\right] \) defined by =e^{x^{3}-3

The function \( \boldsymbol{f}:(-\infty,-1) \rightarrow\left(\mathbf{0}, e^{5}\right] \) defined by \( f(x)=e^{x^{3}-3 x+2} \) is

  • A. many-one and onto
  • B. many-one and into
  • C. one-one and onto
  • D. one-one and into

Step-by-step solution

The function is strictly increasing on (-∞, -1) because the derivative of the exponent is positive, so it is one-one. The range is (0, e^4) which is a subset of the codomain (0, e^5], so it is into (not onto).
