Solution Summary

This shows how to identify inverse, one-to-one, and onto functions.

Solution Preview

<br>A) f is not one-to-one since f(-1,1)=f(1,1)=3. f is not onto since f(x,y)=x^2+2y^2=2 has no integer solutions. There is no inverse function.
<br>B) f is onto since for each n in N, we have f(2n)=2n/2=n. f is not one-to-one since f(4)=4/2=2 and ...
