Homework Statement


How can I prove this?

If g°f is a bijective function, then g is surjective and f is injective.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution

First what does g°f mean
what does bijective mean
what does surjective mean
what does injective mean
 
Start of with let g of f be a bijection, than state of the definition of a bijection. From there you can prove what must be true of g and f for g of f to meet the definition.
 
I can see why it is need to be true, when I draw it, unfotunately I cannot write down the solution in a mathematical way.
 
To start say
Let g°f be a bijective function.

then what can you say about g°f
