Question

a). Show that every isometry is a one-to-one function. (In other words, show that if f is an isometry and P and Q are points with P ? Q then f(P) ? f(Q)). b) Assume that f is an isometry and that it has an inverse function f?¹. Show that f?¹ also is an isometry. (Exercise 1.10.2 shows that every isometry does, in fact, have an inverse).

Step 1

We are given that $f$ is an isometry, which means that for any two points $P$ and $Q$ in the domain, the distance between $f(P)$ and $f(Q)$ is equal to the distance between $P$ and $Q$. Mathematically, this can be written as: $$d(f(P), f(Q)) = d(P, Q)$$ Show more…

a). Show that every isometry is a one-to-one function. (In other words, show that if f is an isometry and P and Q are points with P ≠ Q then f(P) ≠ f(Q)). b) Assume that f is an isometry and that it has an inverse function f⁻¹. Show that f⁻¹ also is an isometry. (Exercise 1.10.2 shows that every isometry does, in fact, have an inverse).
