MCQ
The function $f:[0,3] \rightarrow[1,29]$, defined by $f(x)=2 x^3-15 x^2+36 x+1$, is
  • A
    one-one and onto
  • onto but not one-one
  • C
    one-one but not onto
  • D
    neither one-one nor onto

Answer

Correct option: B.
onto but not one-one
b
$F:[0,3] \rightarrow[1,29] $

$f(x)=2 x^3-15 x^2+36 x+1 $

$f^{\prime}(x)=6 x^2-30 x+36 $

$=6\left(x^2-5 x+6\right) $

$=6(x-2)(x-3)$

in given domain function has local maxima, it is many-one

Now at

$x=0 $$ f(0) $$ =1 $

$x=2 $$ f(2) $$ =16-60+72+1=29 $

$x $$ =3 $$ f(3) $$ =54-135+108+1 $

$ =163-135=28$

Has range $=[1,29]$

Hence given function is onto
