    Let function\[f:R\to R\] be defined by \[f(x)=2x+sinx\] for \[x\in R,\] then f is

    A) One-one and onto

    B) one-one but NOT onto

    C) onto but NOT one-one

    D) Neither one-one nor onto

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Given that
    \[f(x)=2x+sinx,x\in R\]
    \[\Rightarrow f'(x)=2+cosx\]
    But \[-1\le \cos x\le 1\]
    \[\Rightarrow 1\le 2+\cos x\le 3\]
    \[\Rightarrow 1\le 2+\cos x\le 3\]
    \[\therefore f'(x)>0,\,\,\forall x\in R\]
    \[\Rightarrow f(x)\] is strictly increasing and hence one-one
    Also as \[x\to \infty ,f(x)\to \infty \] and \[x\to -\infty ,\]
    \[f(x)\to -\infty \]
    \[\therefore \] Range of \[f(x)=R=\] domain of \[f(x)\Rightarrow f(x)\] is onto.
    Thus, f(x) is one-one and onto.
