Hard Questions on Relations and Functions

1. Let \( f: \mathbb{R} o \mathbb{R} \) be defined as \( f(x) = x^2 - 3x + 2 \). Determine the inverse

function \( f^{-1} \), if it exists.

2. Prove that the relation \( R \) on the set of real numbers \( \mathbb{R} \) defined by \( aRb \iff a - b

\) is an equivalence relation.

3. Determine if the function \( g: \mathbb{Z} o \mathbb{Z} \) defined by \( g(n) = n^2 + n + 1 \) is

injective, surjective, or bijective.

4. Let \( h: \mathbb{N} o \mathbb{N} \) be a function defined by \( h(n) = 3n + 7 \). Find the

composition function \( (h \circ h)(n) \).

5. If \( f \) and \( g \) are functions from \( \mathbb{R} \) to \( \mathbb{R} \) such that \( f(x) = 2x + 3 \)

and \( g(x) = x^2 - 1 \), find the composite function \( (f \circ g)(x) \) and \( (g \circ f)(x) \).

6. Show that the function \( f: \mathbb{R} o \mathbb{R} \) defined by \( f(x) = e^x \) is a one-to-one

correspondence.

7. Determine the domain and range of the function \( f(x) = rac{1}{x-2} \).

8. Given the relation \( R = \{(1, 2), (2, 3), (3, 1)\} \) on the set \( \{1, 2, 3\} \), determine if \( R \) is

transitive, symmetric, or reflexive.

9. Find all functions \( f: \mathbb{R} o \mathbb{R} \) such that \( f(f(x)) = x \).

10. Prove that the set of all functions from a finite set \( S \) to itself forms a monoid under function

composition.
