The correct Answer is:
To determine the least value of \( \alpha \) such that the function \[ f(x) = \frac{e^{x^2} - e^{-x^2}}{e^{x^2} + e^{-x^2}} \] is injective on the interval \([ \alpha - 2, \infty )\), we will analyze the function step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Function The function \( f(x) \) can be rewritten using the hyperbolic tangent function: \[ f(x) = \tanh(x^2) \] This is because: \[ \tanh(x) = \frac{\sinh(x)}{\cosh(x)} = \frac{e^{x} - e^{-x}}{e^{x} + e^{-x}} \] Thus, we have: \[ f(x) = \tanh(x^2) \] ### Step 2: Analyzing Injectivity A function is injective if it is either strictly increasing or strictly decreasing. To check this, we will find the derivative of \( f(x) \). ### Step 3: Finding the Derivative Using the chain rule, we find the derivative of \( f(x) \): \[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \tanh(x^2) = 2x \cdot \text{sech}^2(x^2) \] Here, \( \text{sech}^2(x^2) \) is always positive for all \( x \). Therefore, \( f'(x) \) is positive for \( x > 0 \) and negative for \( x < 0 \). ### Step 4: Determining the Domain for Injectivity Since \( f(x) \) is strictly increasing for \( x > 0 \), it will be injective in any interval that starts from a point greater than or equal to 0. ### Step 5: Setting the Domain We need the interval \([ \alpha - 2, \infty )\) to start from 0. Thus, we set: \[ \alpha - 2 = 0 \implies \alpha = 2 \] ### Conclusion The least value of \( \alpha \) such that the function \( f(x) \) is injective in the interval \([ \alpha - 2, \infty )\) is: \[ \boxed{2} \]
