Question
Need help with this foundations of mathematics homework problem.

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
Let \( f \) and \( g \) be bijections such that \( f \circ g \) is defined. Prove that \( f \circ g \) is bijective.
**Explanation:**
In the problem given, we are asked to demonstrate that the composition of two bijective functions, \( f \) and \( g \), results in a function \( f \circ g \) that is also bijective. This problem involves properties of function composition and the nature of bijections, which have both injective (one-to-one) and surjective (onto) properties.
To prove this, you will show two things:
1. **Injectivity of \( f \circ g \):** Assume \( f \circ g(x_1) = f \circ g(x_2) \). Since \( f \) is injective, \( f(g(x_1)) = f(g(x_2)) \) implies \( g(x_1) = g(x_2) \). Since \( g \) is injective, \( x_1 = x_2 \). Therefore, \( f \circ g \) is injective.
2. **Surjectivity of \( f \circ g \):** For any \( y \) in the codomain of \( f \circ g \), since \( f \) is surjective, there exists a \( z \) such that \( f(z) = y \). Since \( g \) is surjective, there exists an \( x \) such that \( g(x) = z \). Thus, \( f \circ g(x) = y \), making \( f \circ g \) surjective.
Together, these properties prove that \( f \circ g \) is bijective.

- Lyndsey was using the diagrams and Angle-Angle Triangle Similarity to prove the Pythagorean Theorem. "We can use the Angle-Angle Triangle Similarity Theorem to show that all 3 triangles are similar. Because the triangles are similar, corresponding side lengths are in the same proportion. Because the largest triangle is similar to the smaller triangle, =. a Because the largest triangle is similar to the middle triangle, =. We can rewrite these equations as a? = cd and b2 = ce. We can add the 2 equations to get that a2 + b2 = cd + ce or a? + b2 = c(d + e). From the original diagram we can see that d + e = c, so a² + b2 = c(c) or a2 + b2 = c²."
