1. (10%) True —False
(Penality: 2 wrong answers cancel _1 right answer)
(a2) f° AUBUQ= f(A S BY fo
(b) fT ANB = f(A SB
() fANB)= f(A)O fB)
(d) f(f~(B)=Balm(f) (for every subset B of codomain(f) )
R is transitive <=> R° is transitive
(f) R, &R, are transitive — R,UR, is transitive
go f isbijective ==> f is1-land g is onto
f&garebothi-l => (fg): Xx¥Y>AxB is 1-1
(where (f, 8) (%y) = (f00), g(y)) ) and f:X + A & g:Y > B are functions)
G) fofof hasaninverse ==> f hasaninverse. (f:X — X is a function)
f[:X—>X is onto => f is bijective => _f has an inverse
