Define G: ℝ → ℝ by the rule G(x) = 2 − 3x for each real number x. Prove that G is onto.

Proof that G is onto: Let y be any real number. (Scratch work: On a separate piece of paper, solve the equation y = 2 − 3x for x.

Enter the result - an expression in y - in the box below.)

x=________

To finish the proof, we need to show (1) that x is a real number, and (2) that G(x) = y.

Now sums, products, and differences of real numbers are real numbers, and quotients of real numbers with nonzero denominators are also real numbers. Therefore, x is a real number.

In addition, according to the formula that defines G, when G is applied to x, x is multiplied by 3 and the result is subtracted from 2.

When the expression for x (using the variable y) is multiplied by 3, the result is ______. And when the result is subtracted from 2, we obtain ______. Thus G(x) = y. Hence, there exists a number x such that x is a real number and G(x) = y. Therefore, G is onto.

You’re the grader. To each “Proof”, assign one of the following grades: • A (correct), if the claim and proof are correct, even if the proof is not the simplest, or the proof you would have given. • C (partially correct), if the claim is correct and the proof is largely a correct claim, but contains one or two incorrect statements or justications. • F (failure), if the claim is incorrect, the main idea of the proof is incorrect, or...

Relations and Functions Usual symbols for the above are; Relations: R1, R2, S, T, etc Functions: f, g, h, etc. But remember a function is a special kind of relation so it might turn out that a Relation, R, is a function, too. Relations To understand the symbolism better, let’s say the domain of a relation, R, is A = { a, b , c} and the Codomain is B = { 1,2,3,4}. Here is the relation: a R 1,    ...
