Tracing the following proof, if q = 5/13 is given by the reader in line 1, what is the value of æ that makes
f(x) = 5/13? You must enter your answer as a reduced fraction.
3x +1
Claim. The function f:Q → Q with rule f(x) :
is onto.
2
Proof.
• Let q E Q be given.
2q – 1
• Set x =
3
2g
• f(x) = f(
and check:
(2g – 1) + 1
q.

• Since f(x)
= q and x E Q, this shows that f is onto.
