Original question and givens

The declared total function f:A→B has A={-6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1}, B={1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11}, and table {(-6, 11), (-5, 1), (-4, 3), (-3, 5), (-2, 7), (-1, 9)}. The function has been confirmed bijective. For g=f⁻¹ and the permitted target 5∈B, find g(5).

  • G001 — The declared total function f:A→B has A={-6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1}, B={1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11}, and table {(-6, 11), (-5, 1), (-4, 3), (-3, 5), (-2, 7), (-1, 9)}. The function has been confirmed bijective. For g=f⁻¹ and the permitted target 5∈B, find g(5).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
