Geometry help. Pleas Questions are in comment
1) \(f: \mathbb R \rightarrow \mathbb R : f(x) = \dfrac{x-1}{3}\) is it a transformations of the plane?
2) \(f: \mathbb R \rightarrow \mathbb R : f(x) = x^2\) is it a transformations of the plane?
3) \(f:\mathbb R \rightarrow \mathbb R: f(x) = sin x\) same question
4) \(f: \mathbb R \times \mathbb R \rightarrow \mathbb R \times \mathbb R : f(x,y) = (2x, 3y)\) same question
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
@FibonacciChick666 this geometry problem kills me. hehehe
@zepdrix
ok, maybe I've done this. Can you explain what "is it a transformations of the plane? " means?
does that mean you can still map to every point in the plane?
Definition: A transformation of the plane, t, is a one to one mapping of points of the plane onto points in the plane.
ok, so, essentially what I'm getting is we want to know if it is bijective?
Why don't they call it as bijective? It makes the life easier. The way they interpret the "transformation" is ambiguous to me.
2) and 3) are not one to one for sure, hence rejected, right?
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
That's what I think. But please get a second opinion. I don't trust myself.
5) is not onto, but it is one to one. then??
OMG, where are highschool students???
well we would need a y value of 1/3 y for every y to exist
lol why?
because it is a highschool stuff
For 5) if (1,1) is in the range, then there is no its preimage in domain. Hence it is not onto
this is not high school stuff. I didn't touch this crap till junior year college
and yep, good counter ex for 5
Actually, it is the course for highschool teacher, right?
no, just a general math degree
high school teacher classes are wayyyyyyyyyyyyy easier
due to the lack of having to prove anything
but we study this stuff to teach highschool students, So I assume that highschool students know it.
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
Also, I got a job!!
