Chapter 2: Q57E (page 154)

Let a and b be real numbers with a<b. Use the floor and/or ceiling functions to express the number of integers n that satisfy the inequality a<n<b.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The conclusion is fully correct

Step by step solution

Step 1:

The integers Which are comprised between a and b must respect the inequality ⌈a⌉≤n≤⌊b⌋.

Step 2:

The number of the integers satisfying that will be ⌊b⌋−⌈a⌉+1, provided that a≤b.

Question: Suppose that g is a function from A to B and f is a function from B to C.

a) Show that if both f and g are one-to-one functions, then $f \circ g$ is also one-to-one. b) Show that if both f and g are onto functions, then $f \circ g$ is also onto.

a) define the power set of a set S

b) When is the empty set in the power set of a set S?

c) How many elements does the power set of a set S with n elements have?

Question: Let $f (x) = ⌈ x^{2} / 3 ⌉$ . Find $f (S)$ if

$a)S={-2,-1,0,1,2,3} b) S ={0,1,2,3, 4, 5} c) S ={1, 5, 7, 11} d) S ={2, 6, 10, 14}$

Question: Show that the function $f (x) = | x |$ from the set of real numbers to the set of non-negative real numbers is not invertible, but if the domain is restricted to the set of non- negative real numbers, the resulting function is invertible.

Determine whether each of these functions from Z to Z is one-to-one.

$(a) f (n) = n - 1 (b) f (n) = n^{2} + 1 (c) f (n) = n^{3} (d) f (n) = [n / 2]$
