  1. A one-one only
  2. B onto only
  3. C both one-one and onto
  4. D neither one-one nor onto
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) one-one only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(f(x_1) = f(x_2)\): \(\frac{x_1}{x_1+3} = \frac{x_2}{x_2+3}\) \(x_1(x_2+3) = x_2(x_1+3)\) \(x_1x_2 + 3x_1 = x_1x_2 + 3x_2\) \(3x_1 = 3x_2 \implies x_1 = x_2\) Therefore, \(f\) is one-one. Domain: \(x \in [-1,1]\) Codomain: \(\mathbb{R}\)…
