MCQ
The function $f:R \to R$ defined by $f(x) = {e^x}$ is
  • A
    Onto
  • B
    Many-one
  • One-one and into
  • D
    Many one and onto

Answer

Correct option: C.
One-one and into
c
(c) Function $f:R \to R$ is defined by $f(x) = {e^x}$.

Let ${x_1},\,{x_2} \in R$ and $f({x_1}) = f({x_2})$ or ${e^{{x_1}}} = {e^{{x_2}}}$ or ${x_1} = {x_2}$.

Therefore $f$ is one-one. Let $f(x) = {e^x} = y$.

Taking $log$ on both sides, we get $x = \log y$.

We know that negative real numbers have no pre-image or the function is not onto and zero is not the image of any real number.

Therefore function $f$ is into.
