Answer»

SOLUTION : (i) `f : N to N : f (x) =2x` isinjectivefunctionas
` f(x_(1))=f(x_(2))rArr 2x_(1)=2x_(2)rArr x_(1) = x_(2)`
(ii)`A ={1, -1, 2,3}" and"= { 1, 4,9}`
Then`f : A toB : f(x) = x^(2)` is surjectivesince eachelementof Bhas atleastonepre -imagein A.
(III) Let E be theset of all evennaturalnumbers
Then`f N to E : f(x) =2x` is one-oneand ONTO .
f is one-onesince
`f (x_(1)) = f(x_(2))rArr2x_(1) = 2x_(2) rArr x_(1) =x_(2)`
f is ontosince foreach`y in E` thereexists` (1)/(2) y in N ` such that ` f ((1)/(2)y) =y`
(iv)Examplegiven in (ii)is many -one .
(v)Let `A = {1,2,3} " and" B = {1,4,9,16}`
Then `f : A toB : f (x) = x^(2)` is anintofunction sincerange(f) = `{1,4,9 } sub B`
