Give an example of a function f : N → N that is surjective but not injective. You must explain why your example is surjective an

d why it is not injective. Hint: To show that a function f : N → N is surjective, you need to show that for all y ∈ N there is some x ∈ N such that f(x) = y. To show that a function is not injective, simply show that there are two points x1 6= x2 in the domain such that f(x1) = f(x2).

Answer:

Consider f: N → N defined by f(0)=0 and f(n)=n-1 for all n>0.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will prove that f is surjective. Let y∈N be any natural number. Define x as the number x=y+1. Then x∈N, and f(x)=x-1=(y+1)-1=y.  We conclude that f is surjective.

However, f is not injective. Take x1=0 and x2=1. Then x1≠x2 but f(x1)=0 and f(x2)=x2-1=1-1=0. We have shown that there are two natural numbers x1,x2 such that x1≠x2 but f(x1)=f(x2), that is, f is not injective.

Note:

If 0∉N in your definition of natural numbers, the same reasoning works with the function f: N → N defined by f(1)=1 and f(n)=n-1 for all n>1. The only difference is that you consider x1=1, x2=2 for the injectivity.

The width of a rectangle is 3x – 3. Its perimeter is 10x + 6. Find the length of the rectangle.
maks197457 [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

The first possibility

2(width) + 2(length) = perimeter

2(3x-3) + 2(length) = 10x+6

6x - 6 + 2(length) = 10x+6

2(length) = 4x + 12

length = 2x + 6

The second possibility.

rondhesha chodado in The width of a rectangle is 3x – 3. Its perimeter is 10x + 6. Find the length of the rectangle.

So you have the perimeter, P, can be found by doing u+u+v+v.

Simplifying gives:

P=2u+2v.

You are given the width is (3x-3).  Choose this to be u or v but not both.

Perimeter is given a (10x+6).

Let's plug this in:

(10x+6)=2(3x-3)+2v

We are solving for v.

First step: Distribute where you can:

10x+6=6x-6+2v

Now we want to isolate v.

So we will need to subtract (6v-6) on both sides:

 (10x+6)=2v

- (6x -6)

----------------------

4x+12  =2v

The right hand side contains a factor of 2.

The left hand side does too since 4x+12 can be factored as 2(2x+6).

2(2x+6)=2v

This implies v is 2x+6.

Let's check our work.

We have two sides with measurement 2x+6:  (2x+6)+(2x+6)=4x+12

We have two sides with measurement 3x-3:   (3x-3)+(3x-3)=  6x-6

Let's add those sums to find the perimeter:                             10x+6

That is the intended
