    Let .R be set of real numbers. If \[f:R\to R\] is defined by \[f(x)={{e}^{x}}\], then f is

    A)  surJective but not injecrive

    B)  injective but not surjective

    C)  bijective

    D)  neither suqective nor injective

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Now, assume f is injective (ie, one-one), since \[{{x}_{1}},{{x}_{2}}\in R\]and \[{{x}_{1}}\ne {{x}_{2}}.\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{e}^{{{x}_{1}}}}\ne {{e}^{{{x}_{2}}}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[f({{x}_{1}})\ne f({{x}_{2}})\] \[\therefore \]It is ture. Again, assume f is not suriective (onto), since \[{{e}^{x}}>0\] for all x and so negative real number can not be the image of any real number. For example, there is no real x such that\[f(x)=-2.\] Hence, f is injective but not suriective.
