Assertion: The range of the function f(x) = 2 -3x, $\text{x}\in\text{R},$ x > 0 is R.
Reason: The range of the function f(x) = x2 + 2 is $(2,\infty).$
- A is true, R is true; R is a correct explanation of A.
- A is true, R is true; R is not a correct explanation of A.
- A is true; R is false.
- A is false; R is true.
- A is false; R is true.
Solution:
Assertion: We have,
f(x) = 2 - 3x, $\text{x}\in\text{R},$ x > 0
Let f(x) = y, then y = 2 - 3x
⇒ 3x = 2 - y
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{2-\text{y}}{3}$
$\because\text{x}>0$
$\Rightarrow\frac{2-\text{y}}{3}>0$
$\Rightarrow2-\text{y}>0$
$\Rightarrow2>\text{y}$
$\therefore\text{y}<2$
Hence, range of $\text{f}=(-\infty,2)$
Reason: Now, f(x) = x2 + 2
Let y = f(x), then
y = x2 + 5
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\sqrt{\text{y}-2}$
x assumes real values, if $\text{y}-2\geq0$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}\geq2$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}\in[2,\infty)$
$\therefore$ Range of $\text{f}=[2,\infty)$
