FUNCTIONS

1. Find all functions from X = {a, b, c} to Y = {u, v}.

Solution:

The functions will be
{(a,u),(b,u),(c,u)}, {(a,v),(b,v),(c,v)}, {(a,u),(b,u),(c,v)}, {(a,u),(b,v),(c,u)}, {(a,v),(b,u),(c,u)}, {(a,v),(b,v),(c,u)}, {(a,v),(b,u),(c,v)}, {(a,u),(b,v),(c,v)}

2. Let F and G be functions from the set of all real numbers to itself. Define new functions F - G: R R and G - F: R R as follows:
(F - G)(x) = F(x) - G(x) for all x  R,
(G - F)(x) = G(x) - F(x) for all x  R.
Does F - G = G - F? Explain.

Solution:
No,
since
F(x) - G(x) ≠ G(x) - F(x)
(F-G)(x) ≠ (G- F)(x)

Therefore, F - G ≠ G - F

3. Let A = {2, 3, 5} and B = {x, y}. Let p1 and p2 be the projections of AB onto the first and second coordinates. That is, for each pair (a, b)  AB, p1(a, b) = a and p2(a, b) = b.
Find p2(2, y) and p2(5, x). What is the range of p2?

Solution:
p2(2, y) = y
p2(5, x) = x

Range of p2 is B = {x, y}.

4. Let X = {1, 5, 9} and Y = { 3, 4, 7}. Define g : XY by specifying that g(1) = 7, g(5) = 3, g(9) = 4.
Is g one-to-one? Is g onto? Explain your answers.

Solution:

g is one-to-one because g(1) ≠ g(5), g(1) ≠ g(9), and ...
