(9) Suppose that we are given f : A → B and subsets X ⊂ A respectively Y ⊂ B so that we can define the direct image f(X) ⊂ B and the inverse image f^−1(Y ) ⊂ A. So that if X ⊂ A, then f(X) is a set and if Y ⊂ B, then f^−1(Y) is a set; you are proving things about these definitions. (a) Prove that f^−1(X ∪ Y ) = f^−1(X) ∪ f^−1(Y ). (b) Prove that if f is surjective then Y ⊂ f(f^−1(Y )).
