Let \( A=\left\{x \in \mathbb{R} \left\lvert\, x \neq-\frac{1}{2}\right.\right\} \) and function \( f: \mathrm{A} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \) given by \( f(x)=\frac{3 x}{2 x+1} \). Show that it is one-to-one and find the range of it and \( f^{-1}(x) \). Task 5 (6 points) Let \( X=\{a, b\} \) and \( Y=\{1,2,3,4\} \). (a) How many one-to-one functions are there from \( X \rightarrow \) \( Y \) and \( Y \rightarrow X \) ? In each case, list all the functions. (b) How many onto functions are there \( X \rightarrow Y \) and \( Y \rightarrow X \) ? In each case, list all the functions.

Step 1
A function is one-to-one (or injective) if every element of the range corresponds to exactly one element of the domain. In other words, if \( f(x_1) = f(x_2) \), then \( x_1 = x_2 \). Let's assume that \( f(x_1) = f(x_2) \). This means that \( \frac{3 x_1}{2 Show more…
