Consider the following one-to-one correspondence between the set B of all odd integers and the set N of all natural numbers: N = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, . . .} B = {1, −1, 3, −3, 5, . . . where an even natural number n corresponds to the negative odd integer 1 − n and an odd natural number n corresponds to the odd integer n. (a) Find the element of B that corresponds to 345 ∈ N. (b) Find the element of N that corresponds to 241 ∈ B. (c) Find the element of N that corresponds to −759 ∈ B. (d) Find the element of B that corresponds to the element 2n ∈ N (for example, −1 corresponds to 2 × 1 = 2, −3 corresponds to 2 × 2 = 4,...) (e) Find the element of B that corresponds to the element 2n + 1 ∈ N
