1. Consider a function f: Z → Z where f(x)= 5x − 13. Prove or disprove f is injective.

2. Let S be a set. Suppose every function f: S → S also has an inverse function f−1. Prove or disprove that |S| must only be 0 or 1. 

3.The function f: Z3 → Z denotes a function that maps an ordered tuple onto an integer. Consider such an f(x, y, z) = x + y2 + z2. Prove or disprove that f is surjective.

4.Prove or disprove. Given any set S with any surjective function f: S → S, f must be bijective.
