Transcribed Image Text:**Mathematics Problem: Function Injectivity and Surjectivity**
**Problem Statement:**
3. Suppose \( f: A \to B \) is injective and \( g: B \to A \) satisfies \( f \circ g = I_B \), where \( I_B \) is the identity function on \( B \). Prove that \( f \) is surjective and \( g = f^{-1} \).
**Solution Outline:**
1. **Injectivity of Function \( f \):**
- A function \( f \) is said to be injective (or one-to-one) if for any \( a_1, a_2 \in A \), whenever \( f(a_1) = f(a_2) \), it must follow that \( a_1 = a_2 \).
2. **Identity Function \( I_B \):**
- The identity function \( I_B \) on the set \( B \) is defined such that for every \( b \in B \), \( I_B(b) = b \).
3. **Composition of Functions:**
- The composition \( f \circ g = I_B \) means that for every \( b \in B \), \( (f \circ g)(b) = f(g(b)) = b \).
4. **Surjectivity Proof:**
- To prove that \( f \) is surjective (onto), we need to show that for every element \( b \in B \), there exists an element \( a \in A \) such that \( f(a) = b \).
- Given \( f(g(b)) = b \) for every \( b \in B \), we see that each \( b \in B \) can be mapped from some \( a \in A \), implying \( f \) is surjective.
5. **Inverse Function:**
- If \( f \) is both injective and surjective, then it is bijective.
- The function \( g \) acts as the inverse of \( f \), so \( g = f^{-1} \).
By following these steps, we can prove that the function \( f \) is surjective and that \( g \) is indeed the inverse of \( f \).
This exercise helps illustrate fundamental concepts in function theory, including injective, surjective, and bijective mappings, as well as the
