Thus f is NOT injective (and also certainly not surjective). Might it be under other initial conditions? 3 If f satisfies the initial condition f(0) 5, is finjective? Explain why or give a specific example of two elements from the domain with the same image. b. If f satisfies the initial condition f(0) 3, is f injective? Explain why or give a specific example of two elements from the domain with the same image. c. If f satisfies the initial condition f(0) 27, then it turns out that f(105) 10 and no two numbers less than 105 have the same image. Could f be injective? Explain. d. Prove that no matter what initial condition you choose, the function cannot be surjective.
