Part A:
Given

defined by


but

Since, f(xy) ≠ f(x)f(y)
Therefore, the function is not a homomorphism.
Part B:
Given

defined by

Note that in

, -1 = 1 and f(0) = 0 and f(1) = -1 = 1, so we can also use the formular


and

Therefore, the function is a homomorphism.
Part C:
Given

, defined by


Since, f(x+y) ≠ f(x) + f(y), therefore, the function is not a homomorphism.
Part D:
Given

, defined by


but

Since, h(ab) ≠ h(a)h(b), therefore, the funtion is not a homomorphism.
Part E:
Given

, defined by
![\left([x_{12}]\right)=[x_4]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%28%5Bx_%7B12%7D%5D%5Cright%29%3D%5Bx_4%5D)
, where
![[u_n]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bu_n%5D)
denotes the lass of the integer

in

.
Then, for any
![[a_{12}],[b_{12}]\in Z_{12}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ba_%7B12%7D%5D%2C%5Bb_%7B12%7D%5D%5Cin%20Z_%7B12%7D)
, we have
![f\left([a_{12}]+[b_{12}]\right)=f\left([a+b]_{12}\right) \\ \\ =[a+b]_4=[a]_4+[b]_4=f\left([a]_{12}\right)+f\left([b]_{12}\right)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%5Cleft%28%5Ba_%7B12%7D%5D%2B%5Bb_%7B12%7D%5D%5Cright%29%3Df%5Cleft%28%5Ba%2Bb%5D_%7B12%7D%5Cright%29%20%5C%5C%20%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Ba%2Bb%5D_4%3D%5Ba%5D_4%2B%5Bb%5D_4%3Df%5Cleft%28%5Ba%5D_%7B12%7D%5Cright%29%2Bf%5Cleft%28%5Bb%5D_%7B12%7D%5Cright%29)
and
![f\left([a_{12}][b_{12}]\right)=f\left([ab]_{12}\right) \\ \\ =[ab]_4=[a]_4[b]_4=f\left([a]_{12}\right)f\left([b]_{12}\right)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%5Cleft%28%5Ba_%7B12%7D%5D%5Bb_%7B12%7D%5D%5Cright%29%3Df%5Cleft%28%5Bab%5D_%7B12%7D%5Cright%29%20%5C%5C%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Bab%5D_4%3D%5Ba%5D_4%5Bb%5D_4%3Df%5Cleft%28%5Ba%5D_%7B12%7D%5Cright%29f%5Cleft%28%5Bb%5D_%7B12%7D%5Cright%29)
Therefore, the function is a homomorphism.
A. Stiles. For Melendez, each family member uses about 390 kilowatts of electricity. For Barton, each family member uses about 355 kilowatts of energy. Stiles uses 745 kilowatts per family member. 745 divided by 355 rounds up to 2 while 745 divided by 390 rounds up to 2. This means that the Stiles family uses twice the amount of electricity per person than the other families.
b. The Melendez family. The Melendez family uses 875 gallons per family member. The Barton family uses about 1067 gallons of water while the Stiles family uses about 1250 gallons. 875< 1067< 1250. This means that the Melendez family uses the least amount of water per family member.
