Correct answer: A, B, C
The given function is with domain and codomain .
Step 1: Check if the function is odd or even (Options A and D)
A function is odd if for all in its domain. A function is even if for all in its domain. The domain is symmetric about , so we can check for these properties.
Let's evaluate :
Using the properties of trigonometric functions, we know that and . Substituting these in, we get:
To relate this back to , we use the identity . This can be factored as . From this, we have:
Substitute this expression back into :
Using the logarithm property :
Since , the function is an odd function. Therefore, Option A is correct, and Option D is incorrect.
Step 2: Check if the function is one-one (injective) (Option B)
A function is one-one if it is strictly monotonic on its domain. We can check this by analyzing the sign of its derivative, .
Let's find the derivative of using the chain rule:
First, find the derivative of the inner function, : So,
Now, substitute this back into the expression for :
Let's analyze the sign of for :
- The term is a square, so it is always non-negative, i.e., .
- For , , so .
Thus, for all in the domain. The derivative is zero only if , which means . This occurs at . Since and is zero only at a single point, the function is strictly increasing on its domain. A strictly increasing function is always one-one. Therefore, Option B is correct.
Step 3: Check if the function is onto (surjective) (Option C)
A function is onto if its range is equal to its codomain. The codomain is given as (all real numbers). We need to find the range of .
Let's find the range by analyzing the composite function step-by-step:
-
Let . For .
- As , and . So, .
- As , . This is a form. Using L'Hopital's rule, . Since is continuous and increasing, its range is .
-
Let . The domain of is , which is the range of . As ranges from to , ranges from to . So, the range of is , which is .
-
Our function is . The function is a strictly increasing function from to . As the input ranges over all real numbers , the output also ranges over all real numbers .
So, the range of is . Since the codomain is also , the function is onto. Therefore, Option C is correct.
Final Conclusion: Options A, B, and C are correct.
