Let $f(x) = \dfrac{2x}{x-1}, \: x \neq 1$.  State which of the following statements is true.

  1. For all real $y$, there exists $x$ such that $f(x)=y$
  2. For all real $y \neq 1$, there exists $x$ such that $f(x)=y$
  3. For all real $y \neq 2$, there exists $x$ such that $f(x)=y$
  4. None of the above is true

$f(x)=\frac{2x}{x-1}=y $

$\Rightarrow 2x=yx-1 $

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{y-2}$

Thus $y\neq2$ for x to exist.

Hence Option(C) for all real $y\neq2$, there exists $x$ such that $f(x)=y$

If $f(x) = \dfrac{\sqrt{3} \sin x}{2+\cos x}$, then the range of $f(x)$ is the interval $[-1 , \sqrt{3}{/2}]$ the interval $[-\sqrt{3}{/2}, 1]$ the interval $[-1, 1]$ none of these

Suppose that the function $h(x)$ is defined as $h(x)=g(f(x))$ where $g(x)$ is monotone increasing, $f(x)$ is concave, and $g’’(x)$ and $f’’(x)$ exist for all $x$. Then $h(x)$ is always concave always convex not necessarily concave None of these
