Class 12 Maths · Relations And Functions · Short Answer #212

Prove f:R→R, f(x)=2x+sin x, is onto.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Onto R.
  1. For an arbitrary real y, set a=(y−1)/2 and b=(y+1)/2; f is continuous on [a,b].
  2. Since −1≤sin x≤1, f(a)=y−1+sin a≤y and f(b)=y+1+sin b≥y. The intermediate value theorem supplies x∈[a,b] with f(x)=y.
  3. Every real y has a preimage; therefore f is onto R.
