Exercise 5.1.6
If there is a mapping of onto , then . [Hint: Given mapping onto , let , for all .]
Answers
Proof. Suppose that is a mapping from onto . We shall construct an injective so that
So for any let where is defined by
for . To show that is injective consider any where . Then there is an such that . Since is onto there is a such that . Thus we have
so that . Thus is injective. □
