Question 101

EasyOriginal question

f:R→Rf : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} is f(x)=2x+35f(x) = \frac{2x + 3}{5}. To show that ff is onto, which xx gives f(x)=yf(x) = y for any real yy?

CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Solve 2x+35=y\frac{2x + 3}{5} = y: 2x+3=5y2x + 3 = 5y, so x=5y−32x = \frac{5y - 3}{2}.

  2. This xx is real for every real yy, and f(x)=yf(x) = y, so ff is onto.

Worth noting

Moving 3 across the equals sign changes its sign: 2x=5y−32x = 5y - 3, not 5y+35y + 3.
