(D) Given $f(a) = \alpha$,where $\alpha$ is the maximum power of a prime $p$ such that $p^{\alpha}$ divides $a$. This is the exponent of the highest prime power dividing $a$.Let $h(a) = (f + g)(a) = f(a) + a + 1$.Calculate values for some $a \in N - \{1\}$:$h(2) = f(2) + 2 + 1 = 1 + 2 + 1 = 4$$h(3) = f(3) + 3 + 1 = 1 + 3 + 1 = 5$$h(4) = f(4) + 4 + 1 = 2 + 4 + 1 = 7$$h(5) = f(5) + 5 + 1 = 1 + 5 + 1 = 7$Since $h(4) = h(5) = 7$ for $4 
eq 5$,the function is not one-one.Also,the range of $h(a)$ does not include $1, 2, 3, 6, \dots$ (e.g.,$h(a) \ge 4$ for all $a \ge 2$),so it is not onto.Therefore,the function is neither one-one nor onto.

Let $f, g: N - \{1\} \rightarrow N$ be functions defined by $f(a) = \alpha$,where $\alpha$ is the maximum of the powers of those primes $p$ such that $p^{\alpha}$ divides $a$,and $g(a) = a + 1$,for all $a \in N - \{1\}$. Then,the function $f + g$ is.
