A
Determine if each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, provide a brief
explanation: a) There exists x = R such that √x2 = -x.
b) Let A = {x = ZIx = 1 (mod 3)} and B = {x = ZIx is odd}. Then A and B are disjoint.
c) Let A and B be subsets of a universal set U. If x = A and x/ € A - B,then x = An B.|
E
d) Let f : RR be defined by f (x) = 1 x + 2 1. Then f is surjective.
