Answer:

The function is both injective and surjective.

Explanation:

Given function,


y=e^x

We say a function is injective(one-one) when for every value of x we have a unique value of y.We say a function is surjective(onto) when the output y covers all the values of the co domain.

We know that in the graph of
e^x at no two points of x there can be a common y. So hence proved that
e^x is injective.


e^x is also surjective because for x from - infinity to + infinity
e^x covers all the values in its co domain hence it is also surjecctive function.
