Math Problem Statement

Study the injectivity, surjectivity, and bijectivity of the following functions. Solve exercises on injective, surjective, and bijective properties of functions, and prove injectivity or surjectivity in specific cases.

Solution

Let's analyze and provide solutions to each exercise outlined in the image.

Exercise 1

You are asked to study the injectivity, surjectivity, and bijectivity of the following functions:

1.1 f:RRf : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} defined by f(x)=x2+x+2f(x) = x^2 + x + 2.

  • Injectivity: To check if ff is injective, we need to see if f(x1)=f(x2)f(x_1) = f(x_2) implies x1=x2x_1 = x_2.
  • Surjectivity: To check if ff is surjective, we examine whether every real number yRy \in \mathbb{R} has a corresponding xx such that f(x)=yf(x) = y.
  • Bijectivity: ff is bijective if it is both injective and surjective.

1.2 g:[1,+[[2,+[g : [1, +\infty[ \to [2, +\infty[ defined by g(x)=2xx1g(x) = \frac{2x}{x-1}.

  • Similar steps: Check injectivity by examining if g(x1)=g(x2)g(x_1) = g(x_2) leads to x1=x2x_1 = x_2, and check surjectivity by finding the range of g(x)g(x).

1.3 h:[2,1][0,1]h : [-2, -1] \to [0, 1] defined by h(x)=x2x+1h(x) = \frac{x^2}{x+1}.

  • This function is limited to a specific interval, so it’s necessary to check the behavior within that interval for injectivity and surjectivity.

1.4 φ:R2R\varphi : \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R} defined by φ(x,y)=xy3\varphi(x, y) = x - y^3.

  • For injectivity, we check if φ(x1,y1)=φ(x2,y2)\varphi(x_1, y_1) = \varphi(x_2, y_2) implies (x1,y1)=(x2,y2)(x_1, y_1) = (x_2, y_2).
  • Surjectivity can be analyzed by determining if all values in R\mathbb{R} are attainable by the function.

Exercise 2

This exercise involves several parts:

2.1 Function f:NQf : \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{Q} with a given formula.

  • Determine f(1),f(2),f(3)f(1), f(2), f(3).
  • Injectivity: Show that f(p)=f(q)p=qf(p) = f(q) \Rightarrow p = q.
  • Conclusion: Deduce if ff is injective.

2.2 Function g:RRg : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} defined as g(x)=x+x+1g(x) = \sqrt{x} + \sqrt{x+1}.

  • Injectivity: Check if g(x1)=g(x2)x1=x2g(x_1) = g(x_2) \Rightarrow x_1 = x_2.
  • Equation Solving: Solve g(x)=2g(x) = 2 to explore surjectivity.

2.3 Function h:]0,+[[1,+[h : ]0, +\infty[ \to [1, +\infty[ defined as h(x)=1x+xh(x) = \frac{1}{x} + x.

  • Bijectivity: Determine if hh is bijective and find the inverse h1h^{-1} if it exists.

Exercise 4

Function f:Z×NQf : \mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{N}^* \to \mathbb{Q} with a specific mapping (p,q)p+1q(p, q) \mapsto p + \frac{1}{q}.

4.1 Show statements involving values of f(p,q)f(p, q) and surjectivity.

  • Part (a): Given certain conditions, deduce values of pp and qq based on the functional output.
  • Part (b): Conclude on the surjectivity of ff.

4.2 Check the injectivity of ff on a specific subset.

  • Part (a): Given f(p,q)=f(p,q)f(p, q) = f(p', q'), deduce if p=pp = p'.
  • Part (b): Prove injectivity.

Further Questions for Practice:

  1. What conditions ensure that a function is both injective and surjective?
  2. How can you use derivatives to determine if a function is injective or strictly monotonic?
  3. What is the general method for finding the inverse of a bijective function?
  4. How do changes in the domain and codomain of a function affect its injectivity and surjectivity?
  5. What are practical applications of injective and surjective functions in real-world scenarios?

Tip:

When analyzing functions for injectivity and surjectivity, sketching the graph can often provide valuable insights into their properties.
