    Consider f : {1, 2, 3}  {a, b, c} given by f(1) = a, f(2) = b and f(3) = c. Find f?1 and show that (f?1)?1 = f.

    Answer:

    Given f : {1, 2, 3}  {a, b, c}              for distinct values of x in {1, 2, 3}, there are distinct values of y in {a, b, c}.        is onto.       Hence f is both one-one and onto.        is invertible.       and                       Now for distinct values of x in {a, b, c}, there are distinct values of y in {1, 2, 3}        is one-one.                       Also for every  there exists a unique element        is onto.       Hence f?1 is both one-one and onto.        is invertible.
