counter example:

f(x)= arctan(x) , f:R ->(-pi/2 , pi/2)

g(x)=tan(x) , g:(-pi/2, pi/2) -> R

(g(x) isn't surjective)

f(g(x))=arctan(tan(x))=x f(g(x)): R -> R

Although, if two of the three are surjective, the third is surjective as well.

In the nineteenth century Euclidean geometry was disproved by spherical geometry which was in turn disproved by hyperbolic geometry.g?

No. Spherical geometry did not disprove Euclidean geometry but demonstrated that more than one geometries were possible. Different circumstances required different geometries. Similarly hyperbolic geometry did not disprove either of the others.


How do you prove that the efficiency C arnot is greater than 1?

You don't. Such an efficiency can be less than 1, but it can't be greater than 1.


What is a counterexample in math?

A counterexample is an example (usually of a number) that disproves a statement. When seeking to prove or disprove something, if a counter example is found then the statement is not true over all cases. Here's a basic and rather trivial example. I could say "There is no number greater than one million". Then you could say, "No! Take 1000001 for example". Because that one number is greater than one million my statement is false, and in that case 1000001 serves as a counterexample. In any situation, an example of why something fails is called a counterexample.

Why is a hypothesis important to a scientist?

Once a hypothesis have been confirmed through numerous experimental tests, it can then become a theory. Theories are much more powerful and expansive in scope than hypotheses. Once a theory has been established, it is the role of scientist to try and disprove a theory rather than to try to reinforce its proof.

How can you prove a conjecture false?

The word "conjecture" can be taken a number of ways. If the "conjecture" involves an inference based on false or defective information, you need only show convincing or conclusive evidence that the information is false or faulty. If the "conjecture" is the result of surmise or guessing, then it is nothing more than a guess itself, and, therefore, has no basis in fact or logic. If the "conjecture" is an unproven mathematical hypothesis, you will need to disprove its validity from its basis. Start with the basic crux of the problem and work step by step until you disprove (or prove) the hypothesis to be untrue (or true). Make sure you have good arguments and sound mathematics.


Are gay people more promiscuous than straight people?

While this is a common stereotype, evidence is inconclusive about the nature of this claim. The theory goes, since men are more sexually focused than females in a relationship, than having two men would surely double the sexual focus in a relationship!Until evidence can prove or disprove this, we cannot make assumptions or draw conclusions prematurely.
