This question is a multi part question. A, B, and C have all been answered.  I was instructed to ask again for D to be answered.

11. Suppose f NN satisfies the recurrence relation
f(n)
if f(n) is even
3f(n)1 if f(n) is odd
f(n1)

Note that with the initial condition f(0) 1, the values of the function are:
f(1) 4 f(2)2. f(3) 1. f(4) 4 and so on, the images cycling through
those three numbers. Thus f is NOT injective (and also certainly not surjective).
Might it be under other initial conditions? 3
If f satisfies the initial condition f(0) 5, is finjective? Explain why or
give a specific example of two elements from the domain with the same
image.
b. If f satisfies the initial condition f(0) 3, is f injective? Explain why or
give a specific example of two elements from the domain with the same
image.
c. If f satisfies the initial condition f(0) 27, then it turns out that
f(105) 10 and no two numbers less than 105 have the same image.
Could f be injective? Explain.
d. Prove that no matter what initial condition you choose, the function
cannot be surjective.
