Question : 27
Total: 50
Let X = { x 2 : x ∈ N } and the function f : N → X is defined by f ( x ) = x 2 , x ∈ N . Then this function is
Solution: 👈: Video Solution
Explanation: Let x 1 , x 2 ∈ N
f ( x 1 ) = f ( x 2 )
⇒ x 1 2 = x 2 2
⇒ x 1 2 − x 2 2 = 0
⇒ ( x 1 + x 2 ) ( x 1 − x 2 ) = 0
⇒ x 1 = x 2
Hence,f ( x ) is injective.
Also, the elements like 2 and 3 have no pre-image in N. Thus,f ( x ) is not surjective.
Hence,
Also, the elements like 2 and 3 have no pre-image in N. Thus,
