QJEEM25Ma80da: JEE Main 2025 Mathematics - Class 11 JEEM25Ma80da Solution: The function , defined by is :

The function f:(−∞,∞)→(−∞,1)f:(-\infty, \infty) \rightarrow(-\infty, 1) , defined by f(x)=2x−2−x2x+2−xf(x)=\frac{2^x-2^{-x}}{2^x+2^{-x}} is :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A One-one but not onto
  • B Onto but not one-one
  • C Both one-one and onto
  • D Neither one-one nor onto

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

f(x)=22x−122x+1=1−222x+1f′(x)=2(22x+1)2⋅2⋅22x⋅ln⁡2 i.e always +ve

so f(x)f(x) is ↑\uparrow function

∴f(−∞)=−1f(∞)=1∴f(x)∈(−1,1)≠ co-domain 

so function is one-one but not onto
