Short Answer

Question:

a. Give an example to show that the inclusion in part (b) in exercise 40 may be proper.

b. Show that if f is one-to-one, the inclusion in part(b) in exercise 40 is an equality.

Answer:

The function is

a)f(S)f(T)=f(ST)b)f(ST)f(S)f(T)

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1:

Union: ABall elements that are either in A or in B.

Intersection:AB all elements that are both in A and in B.

X is a subset of Y if every element of X is also an element of Y.

Notation:XY

Step 2:

Given: (a)

f:ABSA and TAf(ST)=f(S)f(T)

For example:

LetA=R,B=R,S={0,1} and T = { 1,2}

f(x) = 1 if x is even0 if x is odd

Let us determine the image of every element is S and T.

f(0)=1f(1)=0f(2)=1

f(S)contains all elements that are

f(S)f(T)={0,1}

STcontains all elements in both sets.

f(ST)={0}

We then note in this case f(ST)f(S)f(T), but notf(ST)=f(S)f(T)

Step 3:

Given: (a)

f:ABSA and TA

is one-to-one

To proof:f(ST)f(S)f(T)

PROOF

FIRST PART

Let xf(ST) . then there exists an elementyST such thatf(y) = x.

By the definition of the union

ySyT

f(S)contains all elements that are the image of all an element in S.

f(T)contains all elements that are the image of all an element in S.

f(y)f(S)f(y)f(T)

Since

f(y) = x

xf(S)xf(T)

By the definition of union:

role="math" localid="1668423347151" xf(S)f(T)

By the definition of subset:

f(ST)f(S)f(T)

Step 4:

FIRST PART

Let xf(ST), then there exists an elementyST such that f(y) = x.

By the definition of the union

ySyT

f(S)contains all elements that are the image of all an element in S.

f(T)contains all elements that are the image of all an element in S.

f(y)f(S)f(y)f(T)

Since f(y) = x

xf(S)xf(T)

By the definition of union:

xf(S)f(T)

By the definition of subset:

f(ST)f(S)f(T)

Hence, the solution is

Since f(S)f(T)f(ST) and f(ST)f(S)f(T)the two sets have to be equal:

f(S)f(T)=f(ST)
