7. Let X be a topological space, let A C X be a subspace, and let i: A → X the inclusion map. Fix a basepoint ao E A, and consider the induced homomorphism on fundamental groups, i*: ₁(A, αo) → π₁ (X, αo). (a) Suppose A is a retract of X. Show that i is injective. (b) Give an example of an inclusion i: A → X where i is not injective.
