Is a monotonic function a bijection?
No. For example, y = 7 is monotonic. It may be a degenerate case, but that does not disallow it. It is not a bijection unless the domain and range are sets with cardinality 1. Even a function that is strictly monotonic need not be a bijection. For example, y = sqrt(x) is strictly monotonic [increasing] for all non-negative x. But it is not a bijection from the set of real numbers to the set of real numbers because it is not defined for negative x.
Explain why a and b must be equal if log a equals log b?
It is because the logarithm function is strictly monotonic.
Is every bijection a strictly monotonic function?
No. For example, consider the discontinuous bijection that increases linearly from [0,0] to [1,1], decreases linearly from (1,2) to (2,1), increases linearly from [2,2] to [3,3], decreases linearly from (3,4) to (4,3), etc.
Is 18 a square number why or why not?
It is a square number but not a perfect square. The nearest perfect squares, on either side, are 4^2 = 16 and 5^2 = 25. Since there is no integer between 4 and 5 and the square is a strictly monotonic function, 18 cannot be a perfect square.
How do you use strictly in a sentence?
I Stictly told you not to do that. (strictly- strongly recommended)
