Part A

There are 6 bijections from {1,2,3} to {a,b,c}. This is effectively the same as asking the question "how many ways are there to arrange {a,b,c} where order matters?" We use a factorial to answer this question.

3 factorial = 3! = 3*2*1 = 6

You can also use a permutation, which is composed of factorials, to get the same answer.

======================================================

Part B

There are no bijections from {1,2,3} to {a,b,c,d}. Why is this? Because a bijection has two properties: it must be one-to-one, and it must be onto. The term "onto" in mathematics means "every value in the range is targeted". In the case of the range {a,b,c,d} it is not possible for each value to show up. This is because there are only three items in the domain {1,2,3}. You'll always be one letter short.

As you can probably guess, a bijection is only possible if and only if n(D) = n(R), where D and R are the domain and range respectively. The notation n(D) represents the count or number of items in set D.

Which rational number is one tick mark to the right of Negative 6 Over 4 on the number line below?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The number line is missing, but as we are know that the number marked in the number line is -6/4, i will guess that the ticks are spearated by fourts (the distance between each tick is 1/4).

Now, for the number at the right of -6/4, we should add the distance for one tick, this means that the number at the right is:

-6/4 + 1/4 = -5/4.

Now i will give some other examples:

Now, if the distance between ticks is 2/4, then the number at the right will be:

-6/4 + 2/4 = -4/4 = -1

Now, if the distance between ticks is 3/4, the the number at the right will be:

-6/4 + 3/4 = -3/4.
