Question

Check the injectivity and surjectivity of the following function:

f : Z → Z given by f(x) = x2

Sum

Solution

f : Z → Z given by f(x) = x2

Here, Z = {0, ±1, ±2, ±3, ....}

Injectivity:

Suppose f(−1) = f(1) = 1

But −1 ≠ 1

∴ f is not a one-one function.

Surjective:

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

For example, 2 ∈ Z is an element of a codomain, but for f(x) = x2 there is no x ∈ Z such that f(x) = 2, because `sqrt2` is not an integer.

∴ f is not onto.

Hence, f is neither injective nor surjective.

Let A = {−1, 0, 1, 2}, B = {−4, −2, 0, 2} and f, g : A → B be functions defined by f(x) = x2 − x, x ∈ A and g(x) = `2|x - 1/2|- 1`, x ∈ A. Are f and g equal?
