Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that g is a function from A to B and f is a function from B to C.

g: A -->B and f: B-->C

a) fog= f{g[x)} is a function from A to C

Let fog be onto. Then we get for any element C in f we got an image in A.

This is possible only if every element of C has an image in B because if not then f cannot be applied to g(x).

Hence proved

b) Let fog be one to one.

i.e. fog(a) = fog(b) implies a =b

This suggests that f{g(a) }=f{g(b)}

Since f is a function for g(a) and g(b) three exists unique images.

So g(a) = g(b) implies a = b.

g is one to one

c) If fog is one to one and on to then we have f is onto and g is one to one.

Since f is onto every element in g has a preimage so it follows that both f and g are bijective.
