Prove that f(x)=x+e^x is a bijective function.

To prove that a function is bijective, we have to
demonstrate that the function is one-one and on-to
function.


In order to verify if the function is one-one,
we'll apply the first derivative test. This test  verifies if the function is strictly
increasing. If the function is strictly increasing, then the function is an one-one
function.


So, let's calculate  the first
derivative:


f'(x)=1+e^x


1>0
and e^x>0, so, 1+e^x>0 => so the function f(x) is strictly
increasing.


Now, we'll verify if the function is on-to
function. Because f is a sum of elementary function, f is a continuous function
=> f is an on-to function.


We've verified that f is
both, one-one and on-to function, so f(x) is a bijective
function.

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
