- Check if f: R -> R defined by f(x) = 2x - 3 is bijective.
Show Solution
Injective: f(x1)=f(x2) => 2x1-3=2x2-3 => x1=x2\nSurjective: for any y, x=(y+3)/2 exists\nHence bijective. - Let R = {(x,y): x,y ∈ Z, x-y is multiple of 5}. Show R is equivalence relation.
Show Solution
Reflexive: x-x=0 multiple of 5.\nSymmetric: if x-y=5k then y-x=-5k multiple of 5.\nTransitive: x-y=5k, y-z=5m => x-z=5(k+m) multiple of 5.\nHence equivalence relation.
