Question

Classify the following functions as injection, surjection or bijection:f : R → R, defined by f(x) = 3 - 4x

✓

Answer

f : R → R, defined by f(x) = 3 - 4xInjection test: Let x and y be any two elements in the domain (R), such that f(x) = f(y).
f(x) = f(y)
3 - 4x = 3 - 4y
-4x = -4y
x = y
Therefore, f is an injection.
Surjection test: Let y be any element in the co-domain (R), such that f(x) = y for some element x in R (domain).
f(x) = y
3 - 4x = y
4x = 3 - y
$\text{x}=\frac{3-\text{y}}{4}\in\text{R}$
Therefore, f is a surjection and f is a bijection.

Amit's mathematics teacher has given him three very long lists of problems with the instruction to submit not more than 100 of them (correctly solved) for credit. The problem in the first set are worth 5 points each, those in the second set are worth 4 points each, and those in the third set are worth 6 points each. Amit knows from experience that he requires on the average 3 minutes to solve a 5 point problem, 2 minutes to solve a 4 point problem, and 4 minutes to solve a 6 point problem. Because he has other subjects to worry about, he can not afford to devote more than $3\frac{1}{2}$ hours altogether to his mathematics assignment. Moreover, the first two sets of problems involve numerical calculations and he knows that he cannot stand more than $2\frac{1}{2}$ hours work on this type of problem. Under these circumstances, how many problems in each of these categories shall he do in order to get maximum possible credit for his efforts? Formulate this as a LPP.
