The diagram below shows a mapping from set A to set B.

Which property does this mapping illustrate?

Many-one: two domain elements share an image

One-one (injective): distinct domain elements map to distinct images

Onto (surjective): every codomain element is an image

Bijective: it is both one-one and onto

Symbolic Condition for a One-One Function

1 pts

volume_mute

A function \(f: A \to B\) is one-one (injective) if and only if:

\(f(a_1) \ne f(a_2) \Rightarrow a_1 = a_2\)

\(f(a_1) = f(a_2) \Rightarrow a_1 = a_2\) for every \(a_1, a_2 \in A\)

\(a_1 = a_2 \Rightarrow f(a_1) \ne f(a_2)\)

Every element of B has exactly two pre-images in A

Why Are Bijective Functions Called 'Most Important'?

1 pts

volume_mute

Bijective functions are described as the most important type. Which statement best explains why?

They are the easiest to compute and visualise

Each image corresponds to exactly one domain element, and every codomain element is involved

They always have a simple algebraic formula

They require the domain and codomain to be the same set

Conditions for a Relation to Be a Function

2 pts

volume_mute

A relation \(f: A \to B\) is called a function when two conditions hold. Which of the following are those two conditions? (Select both.)

Each element of A is involved in the relation (no element of A is left without an image)

Each element of A is associated to exactly one element of B (not more than one)

Each element of B is involved in the relation

No element of B has more than one pre-image

The domain and codomain must be equal sets

Is f(x) = x² Injective on ℝ?

1 pts

volume_mute

Consider \(f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}\) defined by \(f(x) = x^2\). Is this function one-one (injective)?

Yes — every output value is the square of exactly one positive number

No — both x = 2 and x = −2 give f(x) = 4, so two distinct inputs share an output

Yes — because x² is always non-negative

No — because it is not defined for negative x

Is f(x) = x² Surjective on ℝ?

1 pts

volume_mute

Consider \(f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}\) defined by \(f(x) = x^2\). Is this function onto (surjective)?

Yes — every real number can be expressed as x² for some x ∈ ℝ

No — negative numbers in ℝ cannot be outputs of x²

Yes — because f is defined for every x ∈ ℝ

No — because f is many-one

Is f(x) = eˣ Injective?

1 pts

volume_mute

Consider \(f: (-\infty, \infty) \to (0, \infty)\) defined by \(f(x) = e^x\). Is this function one-one (injective)?

No — many values of x give the same output

Yes — if e^x₁ = e^x₂ then x₁ = x₂, so distinct inputs give distinct outputs

No — e^x can equal 0 for some x

Yes — only because the codomain is restricted to positive numbers

Look at the mapping below — four domain elements map to three codomain elements.

What type of function is shown?

One-one (injective) — distinct inputs give distinct outputs

Bijective — one-one and onto

Yes — every domain element has an image

No — element 3 in the codomain has no pre-image in A

Yes — the function maps 3 elements to 3 elements

No — element a has two images

The general definition of a function places two conditions only on elements of the domain. If we impose analogous restrictions on elements of the codomain, which two special function types result?

Finite function and infinite function

Continuous function and discontinuous function
