Question
Check the injectivity and surjectivity of the following function:
f : Z → Z given by f(x) = x3
Advertisements
Solution
f : Z → Z given by f(x) = x3
It is seen that for x, y ∈ Z, f(x) = f(y)
⇒ x3 = y3
⇒ x = y
∴ f is injective.
Now, 2 ∈ Z, but there does not exist any element x ∈ Z such that f(x) = x3 = 2.
∴ f is not surjective.
Hence, function f is injective but not surjective.
