Check the injectivity and surjectivity of the following function:

f : N → N given by f(x) = x2

Sum
Advertisements

Solution

f : N → N given by f(x) = x2

Injectivity:

Suppose f(x1) = f(x2)

⇒ `x_1^2 = x_2^2`

⇒ x1 = x2    ...(because x1​, x2​ ∈ N)

∴ f is one-one (injective).

Surjectivity:

There are many elements in the codomain N which have no pre-image in the domain N.

For example, 3 ∈ N is an element of the codomain, but for f(x) = x2 there is no x ∈ N for which f(x) = 3.

∴ f is not onto (surjective).

Hence, f is injective but not surjective.

An organization conducted a bike race under 2 different categories-boys and girls. Totally there were 250 participants. Among all of them finally, three from Category 1 and two from Category 2 were selected for the final race. Ravi forms two sets B and G with these participants for his college project. Let B = {b1,b2,b3} G={g1,g2} where B represents the set of boys selected and G the set of girls who were selected for the final race.

Ravi decides to explore these sets for various types of relations and functions.
