Problem 9.
Let $f:Arightarrow C$ and $g:Arightarrow B$ be functions. Prove that there exists a function $h:Brightarrow C$ such that $f=hcirc g $ if and only if $forall x,yin A$



$$g(x)=g(y) Rightarrow f(x)=f(y)$$



Prove that $h$ is unique.



$(Rightarrow)$
$g(x)=g(y)Rightarrow h(g(x))=h(g(y))Rightarrow f(x)=f(y)$



$(Leftarrow)$
Let
$$h(y)=Big{^f(x); if ; yin g(A);And; g(x)=y_z_1in C; if; yin B-g(A)$$



Actually this function satisfy the suggestion in problem



$$h(y)=Big{^f(x); if ; yin g(A);And; g(x)=y_z_2in C; if; yin B-g(A)$$
is also satisfy above, so $h$ is not unique, I don't know what is problem.

          Unless there's extra information, there's no reason to think $h$ will be unique. Assume $xin B$ and $yin C$, and let $f(a)=y$ and $g(a)=x$ for all $ain A$. Then if $B$ and $C$ both have more than one element, it's easy to see there will be more than one such $h$.



          TL;DR - The question as presented here is flawed; $h$ needn't be unique.

          • The matter is quite different if $g$ is required to be surjective, and perhaps this is what the exercise was intended to be. But I think the exercise as it appears in the text is ill posed.
