Question

Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4}; B = {3, 5, 7, 9}; C = {7, 23, 47, 79} and f : A → B, g : B → C be defined as f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = x2 − 2. Express (gof)−1 and f−1 og−1 as the sets of ordered pairs and verify that (gof)−1 = f−1 og−1.

Solution

fx=2x+1f=1, 21+1, 2, 22+1, 3, 23+1, 4, 24+1=1, 3, 2, 5, 3, 7, 4, 9gx=x2-2g=3, 32-2, 5, 52-2, 7, 72-2, 9, 92-2=3, 7, 5, 23, 7, 47, 9, 79Clearly f and g are bijections and, hence, f-1:BA and g-1: CB exist.So, f-1=3, 1, 5, 2, 7, 3, 9, 4 and g-1=7, 3, 23, 5, 47, 7, 79, 9Now, f-1 o g-1:CAf-1 o g-1=7, 1, 23, 2, 47, 3, 79, 4 ...1Also, f:AB and g:BC,gof:AC, gof-1:CASo, f-1 o g-1and gof-1 have same domains.gofx=g f x=g 2x+1=2x+12-2 gofx=4x2+4x+1-2 gofx=4x2+4x-1Then, gof1=g f 1=4+4-1=7,gof2=g f 2=4+4-1=23,gof3=g f 3=4+4-1=47 and gof4=g f 4=4+4-1=79So, gof=1, 7, 2, 23, 3, 47, 4, 79gof-1=7, 1, 23, 2, 47, 3, 79, 4 ...2From 1 and 2, we get: gof-1=f-1 o g-1
