Hi, 

 

I am struggling with the attached HW problem. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

1. (i) Let AC R. The characteristic function of the set A is defined to be XA(x) = 1 if x E A and
XA(x) = 0 if x is not in A. What is X[1,2](3)?
(ii) Is X[1,2] 1-1 from R to R? Why? Is it surjective? Why?
(iii) Show that X[-1,0]U[1,2]| = X[-1,0] † X[1,2]
(iv) Does XI-1,1]U[0,4] = X[-1,1] + x[0,4]? Does X[-1,1]U[0,4] = X[-1,1] + X[0,4] – X[-1,1]n[0,4] ? Prove
your answers.
