Let A = {a, b, c, d} and B = {1, 2, 3, 4}. a) How many functions f: A -> B are there? b) How many functions f: A -> B satisfy f(a) = 2?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Does that mean A onto B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is is a bold arrow in the problem\[A rightarrowB \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(A \rightarrow B\) you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that is it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm.. I'm not quite sure about this particular problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

know anyone who might.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ParthKohli can you help, please? c:

Parth (parthkohli):

Hint: if \(A\) has \(a\) elements and \(B\) has \(b\) elements then there are \(b^a\) functions from \(A \to B\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still a little lost

Parth (parthkohli):

How many elements does \(A\) have in this question?

Parth (parthkohli):

Hey, do you want the number of onto functions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

how about onto and 1-1 then its n!
