Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As the statement is ‘‘if and only if’’ we need to prove two implications

  1. f : X \rightarrow Y is surjective implies there exists a function h : Y \rightarrow X such that  f\circ h = 1_Y.
  2. If there exists a function h : Y \rightarrow X such that  f\circ h = 1_Y, then f : X \rightarrow Y is surjective

Let us start by the first implication.

Our hypothesis is that the function f : X \rightarrow Y is surjective. From this we know that for every y\in Y there exist, at least, one x\in X such that y=f(x).

Now, define the sets X_y = \{x\in X: y=f(x)\}. Notice that the set X_y is the pre-image of the element y. Also, from the fact that f is a function we deduce that X_{y_1}\cap X_{y_2}=\emptyset, and because  f the sets X_y are no empty.

From each set X_y  choose only one element x_y, and notice that f(x_y)=y.

So, we can define the function h:Y\rightarrow X as h(y)=x_y. It is no difficult to conclude that f\circ h(y) = f(x_y)=y. With this we have that f\circ h=1_Y, and the prove is complete.

Now, let us prove the second implication.

We have that there exists a function  h:Y\rightarrow X  such that f\circ h=1_Y.

Take an element y\in Y, then f\circ h(y)=y. Now, write x=h(y) and notice that x\in X. Also, with this we have that f(x)=y.

So, for every element y\in Y we have found that an element x\in X (recall that x=h(y)) such that y=f(x), which is equivalent to the fact that f is surjective. Therefore, the prove is complete.

25 a² + 20 ab +  4 b²

for formula a^x+bx^ky^k+cy ^{2k } find  u,v such that: u.v = a

and u+v = b  then  group according to (ax ^{2k} +ux^ky^k)+(vx^ky^k+cy ^{2k} )

= (25a^2+10ab)+(10ab+4b^2)

factor out 5a from : 25a^2+10ab : 5a(2b+5a)

factor out 2b from : 10ab+4b^2: 2b(2b+5a)

= 5a(2b+5a) + 2b(2b+5a)

factor out : (5a+2b)

= (5a+2b)(5a+2b)

Refine:

(2b+5a)^2

hope this helps!.

In a circle, the circumference and diameter vary directly. Which of the following equations would allow you to find the diameter
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
The answer is <span>B.154/d = 44/14 
</span>
<span>In a circle, the circumference (C) and diameter (D) vary directly:
C = kD
k = C/D

Circle 1: k = C1/D1
Circle 2: k = C2/D2</span>

C1/D1 = C2/D2
C1 = 154
D1 = ?
C2 = 44
D2 = 14

154/D1 = 44/14
So, the choice B. is correct.

Raul makes fruit cups. He uses 48,000 milligrams of pineapple, 450 grams of apples, and 0.5 kilogram of peaches. How many grams
ryzh [129]
Raul uses 998 grams of fruits.

This can be solved by converting 48,000 milligrams to grams. We do this by dividing by 1000. We get 48g. Then, we convert 0.5kg to grams by multiplying by 1000. We get 500g
