Let f : AB and g : BC and define gf : AC by (gf)(x) := g(f (x)).

a) Show that if f, g are 1–1 (respectively, onto), then gf is 1–1 (respectively, onto).


b) Prove that if f is 1–1 from A into B and B0 := {y : y = f (x) for some xA}, then f−1 is 1–1 from B0 onto A.


c) Suppose that g is 1–1 from B onto C. Prove that f is 1–1 on A (respectively, onto B) if and only if gf is 1–1 on A (respectively, onto C).
