Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) not bijective

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text { Hint: } \because \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x}) \text { is even function } \quad \therefore \text { Not one-one } \\ & \because \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{x}}+\mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{x}} \text { can't be negative } \quad \therefore \text { Not onto }\end{aligned}\)
