Solution
Correct Answer:
Both one-one and onto
- Test for One-one (Injection): f(x1)=f(x2)⟹x13+5=x23+5⟹x13=x23. Since cube roots of real numbers are unique, x1=x2. Thus, f is one-one.
- Test for Onto (Surjection): We need to see if every y∈R has a pre-image.
- y=x3+5⟹x=3y−5.
- Since the cube root of any real number is always real, x∈R for all y. Thus, f is onto.
- Conclusion: f is a bijection.
