For any two elements , such that , we have

Hence is one-one.

Question 5:

If , write .

Question 6:

Let be the function defined by . Then write .

Given that , then

Hence

Question 7:

Is the binary operation defined on (set of integer) by commutative?

No. Since for , , while so that .

Question 8:

If and , write the range of and .

The range of and the range of .

Question 9:

If and , are relations corresponding to the subset of indicated against them, which of , is a function? Why?

is a function since each element of A in the first place in the ordered pairs is related to only one element of A in the second place while is not a function because is related to more than one element of A, namely, and .

Question 10:

If and , show that is one-one from A onto A. Find .

is one-one since each element of A is assigned to distinct element of the set A. Also, is onto since . Moreover, .

Question 11:

In the set of natural numbers, define the binary operation by . Is the operation commutative and associative?

The operation is clearly commutative since

.
