The function f:N→N given by f(x) = x2 is- |
injective and surjective both injective but not surjective surjective only neither injective nor surjective |
injective but not surjective |
f:N→N is given by f(x) = x2 It is seen that for x, y ∈ N , f(x) = f(y) ⇒ x2 = y2 ⇒ x =y So f is injective. Now, 2 ∈ N, But there does not exist any element x in N such that f(x) = x2 = 2 so f is not surjective. Hence, function f is injective but not surjective.
