Question

Let f : N → N be defined by f(n) = `{((n+1)/2", if n is odd"),(n/2", if n is even"):}` for all n ∈ N.

State whether the function f is bijective. Justify your answer.

Solution

Here f(1) = `(1+1)/2 = 1` and f(2) = `2/2` = 1  ...[By definition of f]

∴ f(1) = f(2) but 1 ≠ 2

⇒ f is not one-one.

But f is onto because the range of f = N  ...`[∵ "For any x ∈ N, 2x ∈ N such that f(2x)" = (2x)/2 = x]`

⇒ f is onto.

Hence, f is not bijective.
