Could you tell me a function that is bijective?



Could you tell me a function that is bijective? The domain and codomain of the function must be [0,1). I can't find any bijection. Please help me!


Answer




The identity function id:[0,1)[0,1) defined as id(x):=x for all x[0,1) is a bijection.





Proof: For arbitrary x,y[0,1) with xy it follows that id(x)=xy=id(y). Therefore, id is injective. For an arbitrary y[0,1) there is always an x[0,1), such that y=id(x), namely x:=y. Therefore, id is surjective. Since id is both injective and surjective, it is bijective.
