a) Consider the following functional relation, f, defined as: f : R \rightarrow R, f(x) = x2 Determine whether or not f is a bijection. If it is, prove it. If it is not, show why it is not. b) Consider the set F = {y | y = ax3 + b}, a, b being constants such that a \ne 0 and x \in R. Is F equivalent to R? If so, prove it. If not, explain in details why it is not the case.

Here's the Solution to this Question

a.)

f:\R \to \R, f(x)=x^2

This function is not a bijection since it is not one-to-one. We can see this as follows:

f(-2)=f(2)=4, but -2 \neq 2. Thus f is not injective. Hence it is not a bijection.


b.)

F=\{y|y=ax^3+b\}

Yes, F is equivalent to \R since will can always find a bijection between the two set.

f:F\to \R
