Question

Check the injectivity and surjectivity of the following function:

f : N → N given by f(x) = x2

Sum

Solution

f : N → N given by f(x) = x2

Injectivity:

Suppose f(x1) = f(x2)

⇒ `x_1^2 = x_2^2`

⇒ x1 = x ........(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.
