Hi, 

 

I am struggling with the attached HW problem. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

1. (i) Let \( A \subset R \). The characteristic function of the set \( A \) is defined to be \( \chi_A(x) = 1 \) if \( x \in A \) and \( \chi_A(x) = 0 \) if \( x \) is not in \( A \). What is \( \chi_{[1,2]}(3) \)?

(ii) Is \( \chi_{[1,2]} \) 1-1 from \( R \) to \( R \)? Why? Is it surjective? Why?

(iii) Show that \( \chi_{[−1,0] \cup [1,2]} = \chi_{[−1,0]} + \chi_{[1,2]} \).

(iv) Does \( \chi_{[−1,1] \cup [0,4]} = \chi_{[−1,1]} + \chi_{[0,4]} \)? Does \( \chi_{[−1,1] \cup [0,4]} = \chi_{[−1,1]} + \chi_{[0,4]} − \chi_{[−1,1] \cap [0,4]} \)? Prove your answers.
