of ordered pairs.

18. Let f be a function from X to Y, and g be a function from Y to Z. consider f  g –
the function from X to Z (f  g = g(f(x)). Prove or disprove the following
statements:
a. If f is one-to-one then f  g is one-to-one
Not true
Disprove by counterexample:
Let X = {1,2,3}, Y = {a,b,c}, Z = {A,B,C}
f = {(1,a), (2,b), (3,c)}
g = {(a,A), (b,A), (c,A)}
f  g = {(1,A), (2,A), (3,A)} not one-to-one
b. If g is one-to-one then f  g is one-to-one
Not true
Disprove by counterexample:
Let X = {1,2,3,4}, Y = {a,b,c}, Z = {A,B,C}
f = {(1,a), (2,b), (3,c), (4,c)}
g = {(a,A), (b,B), (c,C)}
2
f  g = {(1,A), (2,B), (3,C), (4,C)} not one-to-one
c. If f and g are one-to-one then f  g is one-to-one
True:
Proof by contradiction:
Assume that f  g is not one-to-one.
Then there exist x1 and x2 in X, x1  x2, such that g(f(x1)) = g(f(x2))
f is one-to-one, therefore f(x1)  f(x2)
g is one-to-one. Therefore for any y1,y2, y1 y2, g(y1) g(y2).
Therefore g(f(x1))  g(f(x2))
This contradicts the assumption that g(f(x1)) = g(f(x2))
d. If f is not one-to-one then f  g is not one-to-one
True
Proof by contradiction
Assume f  g is one to one.
Then g(f(x1))  g(f(x2)) for all x1 and x2, such that x1  x2
However, f is not one-to one. Hence there is at least one pair x1 and x2,
x1  x2, such that f(x1) = f(x2)
Therefore g(f(x1)) = g(f(x2) (because g is a function)
This contradicts the assumption that g(f(x1))  g(f(x2))
e. If g is not one-to-one then f  g is not one-to-one
Not True
Disproof by counterexample
:
Let X = {1,2,3}, Y = {a,b,c,d}, Z = {A,B,C}
f = {(1,a), (2,b), (3,c)}
g = {(a,A), (b,B), (c,C), (d,C)}
f  g = {(1,A), (2,B), (3,C)} one-to-one
