Solution
\[f\left( 2 \right) = \left( 2 - 1 \right)\left( 2 - 2 \right)\left( 2 - 3 \right) = 0\]
\[f\left( 3 \right) = \left( 3 - 1 \right)\left( 3 - 2 \right)\left( 3 - 3 \right) = 0\]
\[\Rightarrow f \left( 1 \right) = f\left( 2 \right) = f\left( 3 \right) = 0\]
Let y be an element in the co domain R, such that
\[ \Rightarrow y = \left( x - 1 \right)\left( x - 2 \right)\left( x - 3 \right)\]
\[\text{Sincey} \in R \text{ and }x \in R, \text{f is onto}.\]
