Question:

If $f: R→S$, defined by $f(x) = \sin x-\sqrt{3}\cos x + 1$, is onto, then the interval of S, is

Options:

[0, 1]

[-1, 1]

[0, 3]

[-1, 3]

Correct Answer:

[-1, 3]

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → [-1, 3]

We have,

$-\sqrt{1+(\sqrt{3})^2}≤\sin x-\sqrt{3}\cos x≤\sqrt{1+(\sqrt{3})^2}$ for all $x∈R$

$⇒-2≤\sin x-\sqrt{3}\cos x≤2$  for all $x∈R$

$⇒-1≤\sin x-\sqrt{3}\cos x+1≤3$ for all $x∈R$

$⇒-1≤f(x)≤\sqrt{3}$  for all $x∈R$

⇒ Range (f) = [-1, 3]

If $f: R→S$ is onto, then S = Range (f) = [-1, 3]
