a) Define f(z)=xf(z)=x for z=g(x)z=g(x). The function ff is valid, and we prove this by cases. Let x,yDom(g)x,y\in\operatorname{Dom}(g). If x=yx=y, then we have

g(x)=g(y)    f(g(x))=f(g(y)).g(x)=g(y)\implies f(g(x))=f(g(y)).

On the other hand, if xyx\ne y, then we have

g(x)g(y)    f(g(x))=xy=f(g(y)).g(x)\ne g(y)\implies f(g(x))=x\ne y=f(g(y)).

Hence, there are no two pairs in ff where the first component is the same.

b) Let bRange(f)b\in\operatorname{Range}(f). There exists aa such that f(a)=bf(a)=b. Define in this way g(b)=ag(b)=a for all bRange(f)b\in\operatorname{Range}(f). It then follows that

f(g(b))=f(a)=bf(g(b))=f(a)=b

for all bRange(f)b\in\operatorname{Range}(f).
