Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem you provided reads as follows (translated into English for clarity):
Exercise 1.8. Let be a one-to-one and onto (bijective) function. Define by , with and a constant. Prove that is also a one-to-one and onto function. Then, find the formula for (the inverse of ). Apply the given formula when .
Step-by-step solution:
-
Proving that is one-to-one (injective):
We need to show that for , it must follow that .
If , we get: Subtract from both sides: Since , divide by : Because is injective (one-to-one), this implies . Thus, is injective.
-
Proving that is onto (surjective):
We need to show that for every , there exists an such that .
Let . Solving for : Divide by : Since is surjective (onto), there exists an such that . Therefore, , meaning is surjective.
Combining injectivity and surjectivity, we conclude that is bijective.
-
Finding the inverse :
To find , we start with the equation: Sol
