The range of the function $f (x)={^{7-x}P}_{x - 3}$, is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Clearly, $f (x)={^{7-x}P}_{x - 3}$ is defined for positive integer values of x satisfying
$7-x >0, x-3≥0$ and $x-3≤7-x$
i.e. $x <7, x≥ 3$ and $x ≤5$
i.e. $x=3,4,5$
∴ Domain (f) = {3, 4, 5}
Hence, range (f) = $\{f (3), f (4), f (5)\} = \{{^4P}_0,{^3P}_1,{^2P}_2\}$
= {1, 2, 3}
