Instructions
(i)Decide if each of the following functions are many-to-one or one-one.
(ii)If a function is many-to-one, give the greatest possible domain over which the function is one-one. (there may be more than one possible answer).
Notes:
- For each function, assume that \(x \in \mathbb{R}\).
- There may be more than one correct answer.
Tip: Consider sketching the graph when you are unsure.

(b)\({\rm{b}}(x) = 3x + 5\)
(c)\({\rm{c}}(x) = {x^2} + 2x - 3,\ \ {\rm{ }}x \ge - 1\)
(d)\({\rm{d}}(x) = \sin 2x,{\rm{ }}\ - \frac{\pi }{2} \le x \le \frac{\pi }{2}\)
