Question:
If $f: A \rightarrow A, g: A \rightarrow A$ are two bijections, then prove that
(i) fog is an injection
(ii) fog is a surjection
Solution:
Given: $A \rightarrow A, g: A \rightarrow A$ are two bijections.
Then, fog: $A \rightarrow A$
(i) Injectivity of fog:
Let x and y be two elements of the domain (A), such that
(ii) Surjectivity of fog:
Let z be an element in the co-domain of fog (A).
Now, $z \in A$ (co-domain of $f$ ) and $f$ is a surjection.
So, $z=f(y)$, where $y \in A$ (domain of $f$ ) ... (1)
Now, $y \in A$ (co-domain of $g$ ) and $g$ is a surjection.
So, $y=g(x)$, where $x \in A$ (domain of $g$ ) ...(2)
From (1) and (2),
$z=f(y)=f(g(x))=(f o g)(x)$, where $x \in A$ (domain of $f o g$ )
So, fog is a surjection.
