Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) onto but not one-one

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given : \(f(x)=2 x^{3}-15 x^{2}+36 x+1\)

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

\(=6\left(x^{2}-5 x+6\right)=6(x-2)(x-3)\)

\(\because f^{\prime}(x)>0 \forall x \in[0,2)\) and \(f^{\prime}(x) < 0 \forall x \in(2,3)\)

\(\therefore f(x)\) is increasing on \([0,2)\) and decreasing

on \((2,3)\)

\(\therefore \quad f(x)\) is many one on \([0,3]\)

Also \(f(0)=1, f(2)=29, f(3)=28\)

\(\therefore \quad\) Absolute min \(=1\) and Absolute max \(=29\)

\(\therefore \quad\) Range of \(f=[1,29]=\) codomain

Hence \(f\) is onto.
