Necessary and sufficient condition of injectivity for a module based on exact sequences

103 Views Asked by At

Show that Q is injective if and only if, whenever $$0\to A\stackrel{f}{\to} B\stackrel{g}{\to} C\to 0$$ is exact, then $$0\to \mathrm{Hom}_R(C,Q)\stackrel{g^*}{\to} \mathrm{Hom}_R(B,Q)\stackrel{f^*}{\to} \mathrm{Hom}_R(A,Q)\to 0$$ is exact.

I have no idea how to start on this problem. Please help. Thanks.
