Functions...bijections?

Let f(x) = (3x-1)/(2x+3).

I am able to find the domain...was unsure how to go about finding the range. and also I dont know how to find subsets X and Y of R such that f: X --> Y is a bijection.

Thanks!

    The domain is all reals except -3/2

    The range is all reals except 3/2 (horizontal asymptote at y = 3/2)

    A bijection is onto and one to one. For every x there is one and only one value for y

    .. this function is onto and one to one, which means it is a bijection. X is the domain of the function and Y is the range of the function.

    Domain = R - {-3/2}

    Range= R - {3/2}

    You can never reach the value y = 3/2. This is the functions asymptote

    X = Domain and Y = Range in this case. Since f: Domain -> R is an injective function, then you only have to consider f: X->Y to have a bijective one.
