Define the correspondence from the given natural transformations by , with candidate inverse . For , naturality of and a triangle identity for an adjunction give
For , naturality of and the other triangle identity give
These are inverse bijections. Naturality of , , and makes the bijections natural in and , so they define an adjunction with the required unit and counit. Uniqueness follows from the formulas in the previous part: any adjunction with that unit and counit must have exactly these transposition maps.
