TIP: – One – One Function: – A function is said to be a one – one functions or an injection if different elements of A have different images in B.

So, is One – One function

⇔ a≠b

⇒ f(a)≠f(b) for all

⇔ f(a) = f(b)

⇒ a = b for all

Onto Function: – A function is said to be a onto function or surjection if every element of A i.e, if f(A) = B or range of f is the co – domain of f.

So, is Surjection iff for each , there exists such that f(a) = b

Bijection Function: – A function is said to be a bijection function if it is one – one as well as onto function.

Now, given by f(x) = x²

Check for Injectivity:

Let x,y be elements belongs to N i.e such that

So, from definition

⇒ f(x) = f(y)

⇒ x² = y²

⇒ x² – y² = 0

⇒ (x – y)(x + y) = 0

As therefore x + y>0

⇒ x – y = 0

⇒ x = y

Hence f is One – One function

Check for Surjectivity:

Let y be element belongs to N i.e be arbitrary, then

⇒ f(x) = y

⇒ x² = y

⇒

⇒ not belongs to N for non–perfect square value of y.

Therefore no non – perfect square value of y has a pre–image in domain N.

Hence, f is not Onto function.

Thus, Not Bijective also.
