Geometry help. Pleas Questions are in comment

OpenStudy (loser66):

1) \(f: \mathbb R \rightarrow \mathbb R : f(x) = \dfrac{x-1}{3}\) is it a transformations of the plane?

OpenStudy (loser66):

2) \(f: \mathbb R \rightarrow \mathbb R : f(x) = x^2\) is it a transformations of the plane?

OpenStudy (loser66):

3) \(f:\mathbb R \rightarrow \mathbb R: f(x) = sin x\) same question

OpenStudy (loser66):

4) \(f: \mathbb R \times \mathbb R \rightarrow \mathbb R \times \mathbb R : f(x,y) = (2x, 3y)\) same question

OpenStudy (melissa_something):

Much luck I wish I knew how to help :(

5) \(f: \mathbb N\times \mathbb N\rightarrow \mathbb N\times \mathbb N : f(x,y) = (2x, 3y)\) same question

OpenStudy (loser66):

@FibonacciChick666 this geometry problem kills me. hehehe

@zepdrix

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

ok, maybe I've done this. Can you explain what "is it a transformations of the plane? " means?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

does that mean you can still map to every point in the plane?

OpenStudy (loser66):

Definition: A transformation of the plane, t, is a one to one mapping of points of the plane onto points in the plane.

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

ok, so, essentially what I'm getting is we want to know if it is bijective?

OpenStudy (loser66):

Why don't they call it as bijective? It makes the life easier. The way they interpret the "transformation" is ambiguous to me.

OpenStudy (loser66):

2) and 3) are not one to one for sure, hence rejected, right?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

well, I assume because there are different types of transformations and they existed prior to abstract algebra? I don't really know. But honestly, to me, it means that the function has an inverse whose range fully spans the original domain

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

That's what I think. But please get a second opinion. I don't trust myself.

OpenStudy (loser66):

5) is not onto, but it is one to one. then??

OpenStudy (loser66):

OMG, where are highschool students???

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

well we would need a y value of 1/3 y for every y to exist

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

lol why?

OpenStudy (loser66):

because it is a highschool stuff

OpenStudy (loser66):

For 5) if (1,1) is in the range, then there is no its preimage in domain. Hence it is not onto

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

this is not high school stuff. I didn't touch this crap till junior year college

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

and yep, good counter ex for 5

OpenStudy (loser66):

Actually, it is the course for highschool teacher, right?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

no, just a general math degree

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

high school teacher classes are wayyyyyyyyyyyyy easier

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

due to the lack of having to prove anything

OpenStudy (loser66):

but we study this stuff to teach highschool students, So I assume that highschool students know it.

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

haha, no. I had geometry in ninth grade. I NEVER even learned about planes bigger than the "x,y plane" and they never called them real, integers, natural, etc planes

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

Also, I got a job!!
