Step 1 :

(a)

The function is .

A function image is said to be one to one if any two elements in the domain are correspond to two different elements in the range.

If image and image are two different inputs of a function image, then image is said to be one to one provided  image.

The domain of the function is all real number set.

Take and in the domain set.

image.

Since image, the function   is said to be one-to-one function.

Step 2 :

(c)

The function is .

Let .

To find the inverse of image, replace x with y and y with x.

Solve for y.

.

The inverse of the function is .

The domain of a function is all values of x, those makes the function mathematically correct.

Since there shouldnot be any negative numbers in the cube root.

So, the domain of the above function is all non negative real numbers.

Domain of is image.

Range set is the corresponding values of the function for different values of x.

Since for all non negative real numbers of x, the function is greater than equals to zero.

The range of the function is always greater than or equal to zero.

Range of is : .

Contd.....

Step 3:

(b)

The inverse function is .

 Differentiate the function with respect to x.

Apply power rule of derivatives : .

image

Find image at image.

image.

Step 4 :

(d)

image.

At image, image.

 

image.

Step 5 :

(e)

The graph of and is :

 image

 Solution :

(a) The function   is said to be one-to-one function.

(b) image.

(c) The inverse function is , and its domain and range is image and
.

(d) image.

(e)The graph is :

image
