1. Prove or give a counterexample for the following statements: a) If ff: AA → BB is an injective function and bb ∈ BB, then |ff

−1({bb})| = 1. b) If ff: AA → BB is a bijection and AA is countable, then BB is countable. c) If ff: AA → BB is a surjective function and AA is finite, then BB is finite. d) If ff: AA → BB is a surjective function and BB is finite, then AA is finite.

Answer:

a) False. A = {1}, B = {1,2} f: A ⇒ B, f(1) = 1

b) True

c) True

d) B = {1}, A = N, f: N ⇒ {1}, f(x) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a) lets use A = {1}, B = {1,2} f: A ⇒ B, f(1) = 1. Here f is injective but 2 is an element of b and |f−¹({b})| = 0., not 1. This statement is False.

b) This is True. If  A were finite, then it can only be bijective with another finite set with equal cardinal, therefore, B should be finite (and with equal cardinal). If A were not finite but countable, then there should exist a bijection g: N ⇒ A, where N is the set of natural numbers. Note that f o g : N ⇒ B is a bijection because it is composition of bijections. This, B should be countable. This statement is True.

c) This is true, if f were surjective, then for every element of B there should exist an element a in A such that f(a) = b. This means that  f−¹({b}) has positive cardinal for each element b from B. since f⁻¹(b) ∩ f⁻¹(b') = ∅ for different elements b and b' (because an element of A cant return two different values with f). Therefore, each element of B can be assigned to a subset of A (f⁻¹(b)), with cardinal at least 1, this means that |B| ≤ |A|, and as a consequence, B is finite.

b) This is false, B = {1} is finite, A = N is infinite, however if f: N ⇒ {1}, f(x) = 1 for any natural number x, then f is surjective despite A not being finite.

PLEASE HELP, I’m confused. I don’t know how to do this stuff... explain your answer. Thank you!!!!
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

C) y = 2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation: You have to substitute 1 for x & 5 for y & 2 for m, but 1st do the point slope form ---> slope intercept form.

y -Y1 = m(x - X1)

y - 5 = 2(x - 1)

y - 5 = 2x - 2

  +5          + 5

y = 2x + 3 --- IN SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM

Hope this helps you!!! :)

In​ 2010, there were 12.4 million citizens of a certain country diagnosed with diabetes. This number of cases represents an incr
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

3,131,313

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represent the number of cases with diabetes in 1973.

An increase of 396% in diabetes cases in 1973 would be;

12.4 million = 396/100 × X

12.4 million = 396X/100

Cross multiply

12.4 million × 100 = 396X

X = [(12.4 million × 100) / 396]

X = 3,131,313

Therefore, the number of diabetes cases in 1973 is 3,131,313 cases

Long division<br>algebra 2, help me. thanks
klemol [59]
To complete this algebra problem, just like any other, we have to complete the proper steps in order; here as follows.

1. <span><span>−<span>3<span>x^2 </span></span></span>+ <span>20x </span></span>− <span>12
         -------------
             x - 6


2. </span><span><span>(<span><span>−<span>3x </span></span>+ 2</span>) </span><span>(<span>x − 6</span><span>)
</span></span></span>         -----------
            x - 6


And finally..


You come up with the answer of:

-3x + 2

I hope this cleared up the little confusion you may have been having. If you need more information on the steps, just ask.
