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.

Find the third side in simplest radical form:<br> 25
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

<h3>\boxed{  \bold{24}}</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

\mathsf{given}

\mathsf{hypotenuse(h) = 25}

\sf{perpendicular (p) = 7}

\sf{base(b) = }?

Now, Using Pythagoras theorem

\sf{{h}^{2}  =  {p}^{2}  +  {b}^{2} }

plug the values

⇒\sf{  {25}^{2}  =  {7}^{2}  +  {b}^{2} }

Evaluate the power

⇒\sf{625 = 49 +  {b}^{2} }

Swap the sides of the equation

⇒\sf{49 +  {b}^{2}  = 625}

Move constant to right hand side and change it's sign

⇒\sf{ {b}^{2}  = 625 - 49}

Calculate the difference

⇒\sf{ {b}^{2}  = 576}

Squaring on both sides

⇒\sf{b = 24}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!
