Solution
A function is one-to-one if its derivative is always positive or always negative in the given range. f(x)=3x24π−cosπxf′(x)=6x4π+πsinxπ f(x)=3x2π+πsin(πx)→ This function is +ve for x>−2vθ3 and it will be –ve for x<−253 ∴f′(x) is not completely +ve or –ve for all x. ∴f′(x)=3x24π−cos(πx) is many to one.
