Problem 6

Let \(f: A \rightarrow B\) and \(g: B \rightarrow A\). Let \(I_{A}\) and \(I_{B}\) be the identity functions on the sets \(A\) and \(B\), respectively. Prove each of the following: (a) If \(g \circ f=I_{A},\) then \(f\) is an injection. (b) If \(f \circ g=I_{B},\) then \(f\) is a surjection.

Problem 6

The number of divisors function. Let \(d\) be the function that associates with each natural number the number of its natural number divisors. That is, \(d: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N}\) where \(d(n)\) is the number of natural number divisors of \(n\). For example, \(d(6)=4\) since \(1,2,3,\) and 6 are the natural number divisors of 6 (a) Calculate \(d(k)\) for each natural number \(k\) from 1 through 12 . (b) Does there exist a natural number \(n\) such that \(d(n)=1 ?\) What is the set of preimages of the natural number \(1 ?\) (c) Does there exist a natural number \(n\) such that \(d(n)=2 ?\) If so, determine the set of all preimages of the natural number \(2 .\) (d) Is the following statement true or false?

Problem 7

For each of the following, give an example of functions \(f: A \rightarrow B\) and \(g: B \rightarrow C\) that satisfy the stated conditions, or explain why no such example exists.

(g) The function \(g\) is not a surjection, but the function \(g \circ f\) is a surjection. (h) The function \(g\) is not an injection, but the function \(g \circ f\) is an injection.

Problem 7

In Exercise (6), we introduced the number of divisors function \(d\). For this function, \(d: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N},\) where \(d(n)\) is the number of natural number divisors of \(n\) A function that is related to this function is the so-called set of divisors function. This can be defined as a function \(S\) that associates with each natural number the set of its distinct natural number factors. For example. \(S(6)=\\{1,2,3,6\\}\) and \(S(10)=\\{1,2,5,10\\}\) (a) Discuss the function \(S\) by carefully stating its domain, codomain, and its rule for determining outputs. (b) Determine \(S(n)\) for at least five different values of \(n\). - (c) Determine \(S(n)\) for at least three different prime number values of \(n\). (d) Does there exist a natural number \(n\) such that card \((S(n))=1 ? \mathrm{Ex}-\) plain. [Recall that card \((S(n))\) is the number of elements in the set \(S(n) .]\) (e) Does there exist a natural number \(n\) such that card \((S(n))=2 ? \mathrm{Ex}=\) plain. (f) Write the output for the function \(d\) in terms of the output for the function \(S\). That is, write \(d(n)\) in terms of \(S(n)\). (g) Is the following statement true or false? Justify your conclusion. For all natural numbers \(m\) and \(n,\) if \(m \neq n,\) then \(S(m) \neq S(n)\). (h) Is the following statement true or false? Justify your conclusion. For all sets \(T\) that are subsets of \(\mathbb{N}\), there exists a natural number \(n\) such that \(S(n)=T\)

Problem 8

Creating Functions with Finite Domains. Let \(A=\\{a, b, c, d\\}, B=\) \(\\{a, b, c\\},\) and \(C=\\{s, t, u, v\\} .\) In each of the following exercises, draw an arrow diagram to represent your function when it is appropriate. (a) Create a function \(f: A \rightarrow C\) whose range is the set \(C\) or explain why it is not possible to construct such a function. (b) Create a function \(f: A \rightarrow C\) whose range is the set \(\\{u, v\\}\) or explain why it is not possible to construct such a function. (c) Create a function \(f: B \rightarrow C\) whose range is the set \(C\) or explain why it is not possible to construct such a function. (d) Create a function \(f: A \rightarrow C\) whose range is the set \(\\{u\\}\) or explain why it is not possible to construct such a function. (e) If possible, create a function \(f: A \rightarrow C\) that satisfies the following condition: For all \(x, y \in A,\) if \(x \neq y,\) then \(f(x) \neq f(y)\) If it is not possible to create such a function, explain why. (f) If possible, create a function \(f: A \rightarrow\\{s, l, u\\}\) that satisfies the following condition: For all \(x, y \in A,\) if \(x \neq y,\) then \(f(x) \neq f(y) .\) If it is not possible to create such a function, explain why.
