Question

State whether each of the following functions is injective, surjective, bijective, or none of
these categories: (N is the set of natural numbers, and Σ∗
is the set of all strings over Σ.)
(a) f : N → N , f(n) = n div 3
(b) g : N → N , g(n) = n2 + 2n + 1
(c) h : Σ∗ → Σ∗, where Σ = {a, b}, and h(w) = a|w|.

(d) h : Σ∗ → Σ∗, where Σ = {a, b}, and h(w) = wR.
