Solution
f is neither one-one nor onto.
Explanation:
f : R → R is defined as f(x) = x4
Let x, y ∈ R such that f(x) = f(y).
⇒ x4 = y4
⇒ x = ±y
∴ f(x1) = f(x2) does not imply that x1 = x2.
For instance,
f(1) = f(–1) = 1
∴ f is not one-one.
Consider an element 2 in co-domain R. It is clear that there does not exist any x in domain R such that f(x) = 2.
∴ f is not onto.
Hence, function f is neither one-one nor onto.

Reason (R): When `d/dx (f(x)) < 0, ∀ x ∈ (a - h, a)` and `d/dx (f(x)) > 0, ∀ x ∈ (a, a + h)`; where 'h' is an infinitesimally small positive quantity, then f(x) has a minimum at x = a, provided f(x) is continuous at x = a.
