Let function $f$ be defined by $f(X)$. Prove that $f$ is bijective.

Let function $f: mathcal{P}(mathbb{N}times{0,1}) rightarrow mathcal{P}(mathbb{N})$ be defined by $f(X) = {2x+y:|:langle x,yrangle in X}$.

Prove that $f$ is bijective.



$mathcal{P}(X)$ is a power set over $X$.



In order for function to be bijective, it has to be:




  • 1-1: $f(langle x_1,y_1rangle) = f(langle x_2,y_2rangle) Rightarrow langle x_1,y_1rangle = langle x_2,y_2rangle$

  • onto: $forall z in mathcal{P}(mathbb{N}) :exists x,yinmathcal{P}(mathbb{N}times{0,1}): f(x,y) = z$


To show that $f$ is 1-1, we take any $x_1, x_2in mathcal{P}(mathbb{N})$; $y_1, y_2in {0,1}$ and we need to show that the first condition is true. Similarly, we need to show that the second condition is true, then it would mean that $f$ is bijective, though I do not know how to prove it step-by-step.

I also thought about other possible way of solving it. Function $h:Arightarrow B$ is bijective iff it has an inverse function $h^{-1}:Brightarrow A$, so I could think of a function which would satisfy this condition, but would it be a sufficient proof?

    Yes, both approaches work. But you have to do it. It is not that difficult.

    This is why I asked for help, I mentioned that I cannot prove it step-by-step using first method, as I do not know how should I start it and what I have to do next (sadly proofs are not my strong point). When it comes to the second method with finding the inverse function, I am trying to get it, but all my ideas were wrong. I was thinking about $f^{-1}(n) = n$ for $nin N$, but it does not contain whole ${0,1}$ set, as it is $f^{-1}(n) = n + 0$ in every case.
