Question

Check the injectivity and surjectivity of the following function:

f : N → N given by f(x) = x3

Sum

Solution

f : N → N given by f(x) = x3

It is seen that for x, y ∈ N, f(x) = f(y)

⇒ x3 = y3 

⇒ x = y

∴ f is injective.

Now, 2 ∈ N, but there does not exist any element x ∈ N such that f(x) = x3 = 2.

∴ f is not surjective

Hence, function f is injective but not surjective.
