could someone please explain me how to find if something is a injection, surjection, and a bijection with some good examples
Answers.com always give great examples & work sheet practices /help websites
Injection: For all \(x \in X\), there exists \(y \in Y\) such that \(f(x)=y.\) Surjection: For all \(y \in Y\), there exists at least one \(x \in X\) such that \(y=f(x).\) Bijection: Injection+Surjection Do you follow so far?
yeahh i have the definition but just wanted to back it up with good exampless
\[\begin{align} X&=\{1,2\}\\ Y&=\{2,4,6\}\\ f: X &\to Y\\ x &\mapsto 2x \end{align}\] What do you think \(f\) is?
\[ \begin{align} X&=\{0,1\}\\ Y&=\{-1,0\}\\ g: X&\to Y\\ x &\mapsto x-1 \end{align} \] What do you think \(g\) is?
\[ \begin{align} X&=\{-4,-2,0,2,4\}\\ Y&=\{0,4,16\}\\ h:X &\to Y\\ x &\mapsto x^2 \end{align} \] What do you think \(h\) is?
