Question
Prove.(a) f : Z+ → Z+, f (x) = 2x + 1 is one-to-one.(b) f : Z+ → Z, f (x) = 2x − x2 is not one to one.(c) f : R \ {0} → R+, f (x) = 1x2 is onto.(d) f : Z+ → Z+, f (x) = 2x − 1 is not onto.
Solution
(a) To prove that f : Z+ → Z+, f (x) = 2x + 1 is one-to-one, we need to show that if f(x1) = f(x2), then x1 = x2.
Suppose f(x1) = f(x2). Then 2x1 + 1 = 2x2 + 1. Subtracting 1 from both sides gives 2x1 = 2x2. Dividing both sides by 2 gives x1 = x2. So, f is one-to-one.
(b) To show that f : Z+ → Z, f (x) = 2x − x2 is not one-to-one, we need to find two different inputs that give the same output.
Consider x1 = 1 and x2 = 2. Then f(x1) = 2(1) - (1)^2 = 1 and f(x2) = 2(2) - (2)^2 = 0. So, f is not one-to-one.
(c) To prove that f : R \ {0} → R+, f (x) = 1/x2 is onto, we need to show that for every y in R+, there is an x in R \ {0} such that f(x) = y.
Given any y in R+, we can find an x in R \ {0} such that f(x) = y by setting x = ±1/√y. Then f(x) = 1/(±1/√y)^2 = y. So, f is onto.
(d) To show that f : Z+ → Z+, f (x) = 2x − 1 is not onto, we need to find a y in Z+ such that there is no x in Z+ with f(x) = y.
Consider y = 1. There is no x in Z+ such that 2x - 1 = 1, because this would imply that x = 1, which is not in Z+. So, f is not onto.
