1.) If f(x) = x^3 + 3x^2 - 1, which of these is true?
I. f has domain all real numbers
This is true because you can substitute any real number in for x and the value of f will still be a real number.
II. f is a 1-1 function
This is not true. The graph of this function does not pass the horizontal line test. If you draw a horizontal line across this function, it will cross more than once when the line is drawn at certain positions.
III. f is onto the set of real numbers
This is true. The range of this function contains all real numbers so this function is onto.
Answers (d) should be the correct answer.
a. Only one (could be any ...
