= 1. (a) Let f : IR→IR be the function defined by f(x) = x4 – 4x2 for any x E IR. i. Is f injective? Justify your answer. ii. Is f surjective? Justify your answer. (b) Verify that for any x € (V2, +0), x4 – 4x2 > -4. (c) Let g:(V2, +00) +, +(-4, +co) be the function defined by g(x) = x4 – 4.x2 for any x € (V2, +00). i. Is g injective? Justify your answer. ii. Is g surjective? Justify your answer. iii. Is g bijective? If yes, also write down the 'formula of definition' for its inverse function. - =
