Let fx1=fx2

3x12+3x143+3x14x12=3x22+3x243+3x24x22

=3x12x22+3x1x23x1x24x12x22 ( using dividend rule)

3x12+3x143x1x24x12x22=3+3x14x123x12x22+3x1x2

On simplification we have

7x1x2x1+x23x1x23=0

x1=x2 or x2=3x113x1

i.e., fx1=fx2x1=x2 or x2=3x113x1

 Function is not one to one as x1,3x113x1 are both mapped onto the same image onto:

Let y=3x2+3x43+3x4x2

x2(3+4y)+x(33y)43y=0

If f(x) is to be onto, it has to take all real value for real x. For real x, we should have

(33y)24(3+4y)(43y)057+74y+57y20y2+7457y+10

y+37572+188032490 which is true.

Hence f is onto Thus f is onto but not one to one.
