18. Suppose $Y$ and $Z$ are sets and $g: Y \to Z$ is a one-to-one function. This
means that if $g$ takes the same value on any two elements of $Y$, then
those elements are equal. Thus, for example, if $a$ and $b$ are elements of
$Y$ and $g(a) = g(b)$, then it can be inferred that $a = b$. What can be

$g$ be onto? Prove or give a counterexample.
23. Let $f: W \to X$, $g: X \to Y$, and $h: Y \to Z$ be functions. Must
$h \circ (g \circ f) = (h \circ g) \circ f$? Prove or give a counterexample.
24. True or False? Given any set $X$ and given any functions $f: X \to X$,
$g: X \to X$, and $h: X \to X$, if $h$ is one-to-one and
$h \circ f = h \circ g$, then $f = g$. Justify your answer.
25. True or False? Given any set $X$ and given any functions $f: X \to X$,
$g: X \to X$, and $h: X \to X$, if $h$ is one-to-one and
$f \circ h = g \circ h$, then $f = g$. Justify your answer.
In 26 and 27 find $(g \circ f)^{-1}$, $g^{-1}$, $f^{-1}$, and
$f^{-1} \circ g^{-1}$, and state how $(g \circ f)^{-1}$ and
$f^{-1} \circ g^{-1}$ are related.
26. Let $X = \{a, b, c\}$, $Y = \{x, y, z\}$, and $Z = \{u, v, w\}$. Define
$f: X \to Y$ and $g: Y \to Z$ by the arrow diagrams below.
(See page 495 for image.)
27. Define $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ and $g: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ by
the formulas
$$ f(x) = x + 3 \quad \text{ and } \quad g(x) = -x \quad \text{ for each } x \in \mathbb{R} $$
28. Prove or give a counterexample: If $f: X \to Y$ and $g: Y \to X$ are
functions such that $g \circ f = I_x$ and $f \circ g = I_y$, then $f$ and
$g$ are both one-to-one and onto and $g = f^{-1}$.
29. Suppose $f: X \to Y$ and $g: Y \to Z$ are both one-to-one and onto. Prove
that $(g \circ f)^{-1}$ exists and that
$(g \circ f)^{-1} = f^{-1} \circ g^{-1}$.
30. Let $f: X \to Y$ and $g: Y \to Z$. Is the following property true or false?
For every subset $C$ in $Z$, $(g \circ f)^{-1}(C) = f^{-1}(g^{-1}(C))$.
Justify your answer.

**Definition**
Let $f: X \to Y$ and $g: Y' \to Z$ be functions with the property that the range
of $f$ is a subset of the domain of $g$. Define a new function
$g \circ f: X \to Z$ as follows:
$$ (g \circ f)(x) = g(f(x)) \quad \text{ for each } x \in X $$
where $g \circ f$ is read "$g$ circle $f$" and $g(f(x))$ is read "$g$ of $f$ of
$x$." The function $g \circ f$ is called the **composition of $f$ and $g$**.

**Theorem 7.3.1 Composition with an Identity Function**
If $f$ is a function from a set $X$ to a set $Y$, and $I_x$ is the identity
function on $X$, and $I_y$ is the identity function on $Y$, then
$$ \text{(a) } f \circ I_x = f \quad \text{ and } \quad \text{(b) } I_y \circ f = f $$
**Proof:**
_Part (a):_
Suppose $f$ is a function from a set $X$ to a set $Y$ and $I_x$ is the identity
function on $X$. Then, for each $x$ in $X$,
$$ (f \circ I_x)(x) = f(I_x(x)) = f(x) $$
Hence, by the definition of equality of functions, $f \circ I_x = f$, as was to
be shown.
_Part (b):_
This is exercise 16 at the end of this section.

**Theorem 7.3.2 Composition of a Function with Its Inverse**
If $f: X \to Y$ is a one-to-one and onto function with inverse function
$f^{-1}: Y \to X$, then
$$ \text{(a) } f^{-1} \circ f = I_x \quad \text{ and } \quad \text{(b) } f \circ f^{-1} = I_y $$
**Proof:**
_Part (a):_
Suppose $f: X \to Y$ is a one-to-one and onto function with inverse function
$f^{-1}: Y \to X$. _[To show that $f^{-1} \circ f = I_x$, we must show that for
each $x \in X$, $(f^{-1} \circ f)(x) = x$.]_ Let $x$ be any element in $X$.
Then, by definition of composition of functions,
$$ (f^{-1} \circ f)(x) = f^{-1}(f(x)) $$
Let
$$ z = f^{-1}(f(x)) $$
By the definition of inverse function,
$$ f(z) = f(x) $$
and, because $f$ is one-to-one, this implies that
$$ z = x $$
Now $z = f^{-1}(f(x))$ also, and so, by substitution,
$$ f^{-1}(f(x)) = x $$
Or, equivalently,
$$ (f^{-1} \circ f)(x) = x $$
_[as was to be shown]._
Since $x$ is any element of $X$ and since $I_x(x) = x$, this proves that
$f^{-1} \circ f = I_x$.
_Part (b):_
This is exercise 17 at the end of this section.

**Theorem 7.3.3**
If $f: X \to Y$ and $g: Y \to Z$ are both one-to-one functions, then $g \circ f$
is one-to-one.

Page 491
**Proof of Theorem 7.3.3:**
Suppose $f: X \to Y$ and $g: Y \to Z$ are both one-to-one functions. _[We must
show that $g \circ f$ is one-to-one.]_ Suppose $x_1$ and $x_2$ are elements of
$X$ such that
$$ (g \circ f)(x_1) = (g \circ f)(x_2) $$
_[We must show that $x_1 = x_2$.]_ By definition of composition of functions,
$$ g(f(x_1)) = g(f(x_2)) $$
Since $g$ is one-to-one,
$$ f(x_1) = f(x_2) $$
And since $f$ is one-to-one,
$$ x_1 = x_2 $$
_[as was to be shown]._ Hence $g \circ f$ is one-to-one.

**Theorem 7.3.4**
If $f: X \to Y$ and $g: Y \to Z$ are both onto functions, then $g \circ f$ is
onto.

Page 493
**Proof of Theorem 7.3.4**
Suppose $f: X \to Y$ and $g: Y \to Z$ are both onto functions. _[We must show
that $g \circ f$ is onto.]_ Let $z$ be any _[particular but arbitrarily chosen]_
element of $Z$. _[We must show the existence of an element in $X$ such that
$g \circ f$ of that element equals $z$.]_ Since $g$ is onto, there is an
element, say $y$, in $Y$ such that $g(y) = z$. And since $f$ is onto, there is
an element, say $x$, in $X$ such that $f(x) = y$. Hence there is an element $x$
in $X$ such that
$$ (g \circ f)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(y) = z $$
_[as was to be shown]._ It follows that $g \circ f$ is onto.
