f:X→Y For a function to be one one or injective, every element in the domain is the image of at most one element of it's co-domain.
In simple words, no value of y must be same for 2 or more different values of
x. For
f(x)=∣x∣, we see that
f(a)=f(−a), for
a∈Z Hence, the function is not one one
For a function
f:X→Y, to be surjective, every element y in the co-domain
Y must be linked with at least one element
x in the domain.
Every element in the co-domain of
f(x)=∣x∣ is linked to at-least one element in domain.
Thus,
f(x)=∣x∣ is onto but not one one.
