(a)
Define F: Z → Z by the rule F(n) = 2 - 3n, for each integer n.
n1
and
n2 are any integers, such that F(n₁) = F(n2). Substituting from the definition of F gives that 2 -
3n₁ =
=
Solving this equation for n₁ and simplifying the result gives that n₁
=
Therefore, F is
(i) Is F one-to-one?
Suppose
---Select---
(ii) Show that F is not onto.
Counterexample:
Let m =
For this value of m, the only number n with the property that F(n) = m is not an integer. Thus, F is not onto.
(b) Define G: R→ R by the rule G(x) = 2 - 3x for each real number x. Is G onto?
Scratch work: Let y be any real number.
On a separate piece of paper, solve the equation y = 2 - 3x for x. Enter the result-an expression in y—in the box below.
x =
(1) Is x a real number?
Sums, products, and differences of real numbers are --Select---
(2) Does G(x) = y?
and quotients of real numbers with nonzero denominators are --Select---
. Therefore, x ---Select---
According to the formula that defines G, when G is applied to x, x is multiplied by 3 and the result is subtracted from 2.
When the expression for x that you found above is multiplied by 3, the result is
And when the result is subtracted from 2, you obtain
Thus, ---Select--- ✓
Hence,
---Select---
a number x such that x is a real number and G(x) = y. Therefore, ---Select---
