Bijective Quadratic Function

Find Set B for Bijectivity

🎥 Video Explanation


📝 Question

Let \( f:[2,\infty) \to B \) be defined by

\[ f(x)=x^2-4x+5 \]

Find \(B\) such that \(f\) is bijective.

  • A. \(\mathbb{R}\)
  • B. \([1,\infty)\)
  • C. \([4,\infty)\)
  • D. \([5,\infty)\)

✅ Solution

🔹 Step 1: Convert to Vertex Form

\[ f(x)=x^2-4x+5 \]

\[ = (x-2)^2 + 1 \]

🔹 Step 2: Domain Analysis

Given domain: \([2,\infty)\)

Function is increasing on this interval.

⇒ One-one

🔹 Step 3: Range

Minimum at \(x=2\):

\[ f(2)=1 \]

As \(x \to \infty\), \(f(x) \to \infty\)

Range: \[ [1,\infty) \]

🔹 Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\text{Option B}} \]
