Functions

1.[1p]
The functions $s : ℝ \to ℝ$ and $t : ℝ \to [0, \infty)$ , both given by $x \mapsto x^{2}$ , are the same function, since they have the same value at every real number.

True

The answer is: False

False

Correct

2.[1p]
Let $s : ℝ \to ℝ$ , $s (x) = x^{2}$ . What is the preimage $s^{- 1} ([1, 4])$ ?

$[- 2, - 1] \cup [1, 2]$

Correct

$[1, 2]$

The answer is: $[-2, -1] \cup [1, 2]$

$[1, 16]$

The answer is: $[-2, -1] \cup [1, 2]$

It does not exist, because $s$ has no inverse

The answer is: $[-2, -1] \cup [1, 2]$

3.[3p]
Let $f : A \to B$ be any function, $S \subseteq A$ and $T \subseteq B$ . Which statements are always true?

Select all that apply

$f (f^{- 1} (T)) \subseteq T$

Correct

$S \subseteq f^{- 1} (f (S))$

Correct

$T \subseteq f (f^{- 1} (T))$

The answer is: $f(f^{-1}(T)) \subseteq T$, $S \subseteq f^{-1}(f(S))$, If $f$ is surjective, then $f(f^{-1}(T)) = T$

$f^{- 1} (f (S)) \subseteq S$

The answer is: $f(f^{-1}(T)) \subseteq T$, $S \subseteq f^{-1}(f(S))$, If $f$ is surjective, then $f(f^{-1}(T)) = T$

If $f$ is surjective, then $f (f^{- 1} (T)) = T$

Correct

Match each function to its properties.

$x \mapsto 3 x + 7$ from $ℝ$ to $ℝ$
$n \mapsto 2 n$ from $ℕ$ to $ℕ$
$x \mapsto x^{2}$ from $ℝ$ to $[0, \infty)$
$x \mapsto x^{2}$ from $ℝ$ to $ℝ$

neither injective nor surjective
bijective
injective, not surjective
surjective, not injective

Show the answer

$x \mapsto 3 x + 7$ from $ℝ$ to $ℝ$ : bijective $n \mapsto 2 n$ from $ℕ$ to $ℕ$ : injective, not surjective $x \mapsto x^{2}$ from $ℝ$ to $[0, \infty)$ : surjective, not injective $x \mapsto x^{2}$ from $ℝ$ to $ℝ$ : neither injective nor surjective

5.[2p]
The proof that $x \mapsto 3 x + 7$ is surjective on $ℝ$ puts $a = \frac{b - 7}{3}$ . For the same rule from $ℤ$ to $ℤ$ , which step of that proof breaks down?

Checking that $a$ belongs to the domain, since $\frac{b - 7}{3}$ need not be an integer

Correct

Checking that $f (a) = b$ , since the algebra changes on the integers

The answer is: Checking that $a$ belongs to the domain, since $\frac{b - 7}{3}$ need not be an integer

Solving $f (a) = b$ in the scratch work, since integers cannot be divided

The answer is: Checking that $a$ belongs to the domain, since $\frac{b - 7}{3}$ need not be an integer

None: the rule is surjective on $ℤ$ as well

The answer is: Checking that $a$ belongs to the domain, since $\frac{b - 7}{3}$ need not be an integer

Put the lines of the proof that if $f : A \to B$ , $g : B \to C$ and $g \circ f$ is surjective, then $g$ is surjective, in order.

Put $b = f (a)$ , which is an element of $B$ .
Since $c$ was arbitrary, $g$ is surjective.
Since $g \circ f$ is surjective, there is $a \in A$ with $g (f (a)) = c$ .
Let $c \in C$ .
Then $g (b) = g (f (a)) = c$ .

Show the answer

a, b, c, d, e

7.[2p]
Functions $f : A \to B$ and $g : B \to A$ satisfy $g \circ f = {id}_{A}$ , and nothing more is known. What follows?

$f$ is injective

Correct

$f$ is surjective

The answer is: $f$ is injective

$f$ is a bijection and $g$ is its inverse

The answer is: $f$ is injective

$g$ is injective

The answer is: $f$ is injective
