MCQ
The function $f(x)=\frac{x^2+2 x-15}{x^2-4 x+9}, x \in R$ is
  • A
     both one-one and onto.
  • B
    onto but not one-one.
  • neither one-one nor onto.
  • D
     one-one but not onto.

Answer

Correct option: C.
neither one-one nor onto.
c
$f(x)=\frac{(x+5)(x-3)}{x^2-4 x+9}$

Let $g(x)=x^2-4 x+9$

$ D < 0 $

$ g(x) > 0$ for $x \in R$

$\therefore\left[\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{f}(-5)=0 \\ \mathrm{f}(3)=0\end{array}\right.$

So, $\mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})$ is many-one.

again,

$ y x^2-4 x y+9 y=x^2+2 x-15 $

$ x^2(y-1)-2 x(2 y+1)+(9 y+15)=0 $

$ \text { for } \forall x \in R \Rightarrow D \geq 0 $

$ D=4(2 y+1)^2-4(y-1)(9 y+15) \geq 0 $

$ 5 y^2+2 y+16 \leq 0 $

$ (5 y-8)(y+2) \leq 0$

$Image$

$\mathrm{y} \in\left[-2, \frac{8}{5}\right]$ range

Note : If function is defined from $f: R \rightarrow R$ then only correct answer is option ($3$)
