Work Step by Step

$ a-\\ f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R},f(x)=x^2\\ A\,function\,\,F: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\,is\,not\,\,\,one-to-one\,\Leftrightarrow \\ \exists \,\,x_{1}\,and\,x_{2}\,\,in\,\,\mathbb{R}\,\,such\,that\,\, F(x_{1}) = F(x_{2})\,\,and x_{1} \neq x_{2}.\\ f(3)=f(-3)=9\,\,and\,\,3\neq -3\\ so\,f\,is\,not\,one-to-one\\ F: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R} is\,\,not\,\,onto\,\Leftrightarrow \,\\ \exists y\,in\,\mathbb{R} such\,that\,\forall x \in \mathbb{R}, F(x) \neq y.\\ notice\,that\,-1 \in \mathbb{R}\,\,is\,not\,image\,of\,some\,element\,in\mathbb{R}\\ (since x^2=-1\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{-1}\notin \mathbb{R})\\ b-\\ K:\mathbb{R}^+\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^+,K(x)=x^2\\ K: \mathbb{R}^+ \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^+ \,\,is\,\,onto\,\Leftrightarrow \,\\ \forall x\,in\,\mathbb{R}^+ ,\exists y \in \mathbb{R}^+\,such\,that\, K(x) = y.\\ so\,let\,y\in \mathbb{R}^+\\ define\,\,x=\sqrt{y}(y\geq 0)\\ by\,def.\,of\,K(x)\\ K(x)=(\sqrt{y})^{2}=y\\ so\,for\,any\,y\in \mathbb{R}\\ y\,is\,image\,of\,some\,element\,in\,\mathbb{R} $
