JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2004 - No. 3)

If $$f:R \to S$$, defined by
$$f\left( x \right) = \sin x - \sqrt 3 \cos x + 1$$,
is onto, then the interval of $$S$$ is
[-1, 3]
[-1, 1]
[0, 1]
[0, 3]

Explanation

$$f\left( x \right)$$ is onto

$$\therefore$$ $$S=$$ range of $$f(x)$$

Now $$f\left( x \right) = \sin \,x - \sqrt 3 \,\cos \,x + 1$$

$$ = 2\sin \left( {x - {\pi \over 3}} \right) + 1$$

As $$1 - \le \sin \left( {x - {\pi \over 3}} \right) \le 1$$

$$ - 1 \le 2\sin \left( {x - {\pi \over 3}} \right) + 1 \le 3$$

$$\therefore$$ $$f\left( x \right) \in \left[ { - 1,3} \right] = S$$
