A function defined as is
- (A)injective but not surjective
- (B)surjective but not injective
- (C)both injective and surjective
- (D)neither injective nor surjective✓ Correct
Answer: (D)
Solution
Complete the square to see the shape and the turning value.
Not injective: gives equal outputs for inputs equidistant from , e.g. .
Not surjective: the minimum value is , so and no real gives an output below (e.g. is unattained).
