Question : 27
Total: 50
Let X={x2:x∈N} and the function f:N→X is defined by f(x)=x2,x∈N. Then this function is
Explanation: Let x1,x2∈N
f(x1)‌=f(x2)
⇒‌x12‌=x22
⇒‌x12−x22‌=0
⇒‌‌(x1+x2)(x1−x2)=‌0
⇒‌‌x1=‌x2
‌
Hence, f(x) is injective.
Also, the elements like 2 and 3 have no pre-image in N. Thus, f(x) is not surjective.
