Updated On: May 18, 2024
  • $( - \infty , 3) \cap ( 4, \infty)$
  • $( - \infty , 3) \cup ( 4, \infty)$
  • (3, 4)
  • $( \infty , 3) \cap (4, \infty)$

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$f :R\to R$
$f\left(x\right)=\sqrt{x^{2}-7x+12}$
$x^{2}-7x+12 \ge0$
$\left(x-4\right)\left(x-3\right)\ge0$
$\Rightarrow\, x \in(-\infty, 3 ] \cup[4, \infty)$

Functions

A function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output. Let A & B be any two non-empty sets, mapping from A to B will be a function only when every element in set A has one end only one image in set B.

Kinds of Functions

The different types of functions are - 

One to One Function: When elements of set A have a separate component of set B, we can determine that it is a one-to-one function. Besides, you can also call it injective.

Many to One Function: As the name suggests, here more than two elements in set A are mapped with one element in set B.

Moreover, if it happens that all the elements in set B have pre-images in set A, it is called an onto function or surjective function.

Also, if a function is both one-to-one and onto function, it is known as a bijective. This means, that all the elements of A are mapped with separate elements in B, and A holds a pre-image of elements of B.
