SUMMARY

The function defined as ${2}^{n}.(2n+1)-1$ from $\Bbb{N} \times \Bbb{N} \implies \Bbb{N}$ is being analyzed for its invertibility. To establish that a function is invertible, it must be both injective and surjective. A correction was suggested regarding the variables in the function, indicating that it should involve two distinct variables, potentially ${2}^{m}.(2n+1)-1$. This clarification is crucial for accurately determining the function's properties.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of injective and surjective functions
  • Familiarity with the concept of invertibility in mathematics
  • Knowledge of natural numbers and their properties
  • Basic algebraic manipulation skills
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the definitions and examples of injective and surjective functions
  • Explore the concept of function invertibility in detail
  • Investigate how to manipulate and analyze functions involving multiple variables
  • Learn about the implications of variable correction in mathematical functions
USEFUL FOR

Mathematics students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding function properties, particularly those studying advanced algebra or mathematical analysis.

prove that the function

${2}^{n}.(2n+1)-1 $ from $ \Bbb{N}$x$\Bbb{N}\implies\Bbb{N}$
is invertible

I know that a function to be invertible must be injective and surjective, I am not sure how to calculate this since in this case I need a pair (x,y) since the function comes from $ {\Bbb{N}}^{2}$.

Can anyone help me ? thanks

Hi Nath, and welcome to MHB!

I think you need to double-check that you have read the question correctly. It only makes sense if there are two different variables in the function, perhaps ${2}^{\color{red}m}.(2n+1)-1 $.
