JEE Advanced 2020 · Paper 1, Mathematics question 2

If the function f:R→Rf:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R is defined by f(x)=∣x∣(x−sin⁡x)f(x) = |x|(x - \sin x), then which of the following statements is TRUE?

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: C

Odd. f(−x)=∣x∣(−x+sin⁡x)=−f(x)f(-x)=|x|(-x+\sin x)=-f(x).

Increasing for x>0x>0. There f(x)=x2−xsin⁡xf(x)=x^2-x\sin x and
f′(x)=x(1−cos⁡x)+(x−sin⁡x)>0.f'(x)=x(1-\cos x)+(x-\sin x)>0.
So ff is strictly increasing on [0,∞)[0,\infty), and by oddness on all of R\mathbb R. Hence it is one-one.

Onto. ff is continuous, with f(x)≥x2−x→∞f(x)\ge x^2-x\to\infty as x→∞x\to\infty and, by oddness, f→−∞f\to-\infty as x→−∞x\to-\infty. So it takes every real value.
