the symbols used in the story are:

1. house and shops- it symbolizes Aksionov's family and material possessions
2. nightmare-it symbolizes a bad omen.
3. blood-stained knife- it indicates Aksionov's lack of control over his fate.
4. the prison- Aksionov's pain and subsequent mystical transformation are symbolized by the prison.
5. the book(the lives of the saints)- gives an impression of religiosity.

Here, f: A—>B

f(x)= (x-1)/(x+2)  ;  x   -2 

A= {-1,0,1,2,3,4}

B= {-2,1,-1/2,0,1/2,1/4,2/5}

Range = {-2,-1/2,0,1/4,1/2,2/5}

As range is not equal to codomain so the given function is not bijective. 

We can make it bijective by omitting {1} from set B 

Here, f(x)=x² -6 logx-3=0

f(2)=4-6 log2-3=-0.806

f(3)=9-6 log3-3=3.1373

f(2).f(3)=-0.806*3.1373=-2.529422 which is negative.

Hence, the root lies between 2 and 3

c₀ =(2+3)/2=2.5

f(2.5)=6.25-6 log 2.5-3=0.8623

Now

From the table,

f(2.265625)=0.001928<10^-2

Therefore, the...
