2. g : R + R defined by f(z) = 152.
Prove that both f and g are one-to-one correspondences.
Let f: A→ B be a one-to-one correspondence. Then to each bE B there corresponds a unique
a E A such that f(a) = b. We define f-1: B A by
f(b) = the unique a such that f(a) = b.
Exercise 3.12. Let f: A + B be a one-to-one correspondence.
1. Prove that f-1 is a function.
2. Prove that f-1 is one-to-one.
3. Prove that f-1 is onto.
4. Conclude that f-1: B+ A is a one-to-one correspondence.
Exercise 3.13. Let f: A + B be a one-to-one correspondence. By Exercise 3.12, f-: B A is
also a one-to-one correspondence.
1. Prove that f of =i
2. Prove that fof-1 = iB.

Set equivalence
We are finally in a position to give a formal definition of the size of a set and to compare different
sizes of sets. Informally speaking, if f
elements of A are mapped to different elements of B, the size of B is at least as large as the size of
A. On the other hand, if f is onto, then since each element in B has at least one element in A that
is mapped to it, the size of B is no greater than the size of A. Thus, one-to-one correspondences
provide us with a means to compare the sizes of sets. This key ohservation of Cantor led him to the
notion of two sets being equivalent. Let us read how Cantor defines that two sets are equivalent.
