If the function \(f: R \rightarrow R\) is defined by \(f(x)=\left\{{l}2 x-3, \text { if } x < -2 \ x^2-1, \text { if }-2 \leq x \leq 2 \ 3 x+2, \text { if } x>2\right.\) then \(\mathrm{f}\) is

  1. A an injection but not a surjection
  2. B a surjection but not an injection
  3. C a bijection
  4. D neither injection nor surjection
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) neither injection nor surjection

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{lc}2 x-3, & x < -2 \\ x^2-1, & -2 \leq x \leq 2 \\ 3 x+2, & x>2\end{array}\right.\) Clearly for \(x \in[-2,2]\) \( f(-2)=f(2) \) \(\therefore f(x)\) is not Injective. Also \(y \notin(-7,-1) \cup(3,8)\) i.e. Range \(\neq\) Codomain \(\Rightarrow\) not…
