Detailed Solution

The function f:RR is defined as f(x)=x3+5x+1

Let yR then y=x3+5x+1x3+5x+1y=0

As a polynomial of odd degree has always at least one real root, corresponding to any yco-domain.

So  some x domain such that f(x)=y. Hence f is onto

Also f is continuous on R, because its a polynomial function. Now f'(x)=3x2+5>0

f is strictly increasing. Hence f is one-one also
