Conversely, a function f: A B
is not a one-to-one function elements
a1 and a2 in A such that f(a1) = f(a2)
and a1 a2. If x ∈ X, then f is onto. The two functions in Example 5.4.1 are onto but not one-to-one. if a1 a2,
then f(a1) f(a2). The preimage of \(D\) is a subset of the domain \(A\). Proof. Algebraic Test Definition 1. So let me write it this way. A function
is not onto if some element of the co-domain has no arrow pointing to it. What are One-To-One Functions? But is still a valid relationship, so don't get angry with it. So let f 1(b 1) = f 1(b 2) = a for some b 1;b 2 2Band a2A. But the definition of "onto" is that every point in Rm is mapped to from one or more points in Rn. It follows that . Hands-on exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\label{he:ontofcn-01}\). The function \(f :\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R} \to\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}\) is defined as \(f(x,y)=(x+y,3y)\). This means that given any
element a in A, there is a unique corresponding element b = f(a) in B. Have questions or comments? Hands-on exercise \(\PageIndex{3}\label{he:ontofcn-03}\). Consider the following diagrams: To prove a function is one-to-one, the method of direct
proof is generally used. (a) Find \(f(C)\). Hence there is no integer
n for g(n) = 0 and so g is not onto. The Euler Phi Function; 9. Example: Define f : R
R
by the rule f(x) = 5x - 2 for all xR. Prove that f is onto. This key observation is often what we need to start a proof with. For more information contact us at info@libretexts.org or check out our status page at https://status.libretexts.org. This is not a function because we have an A with many B. A function is surjective or onto if the range is equal to the codomain. We will de ne a function f 1: B !A as follows. The function . Put y = f (x) Find x in terms of y. f : N → N (There are infinite number of natural numbers) f : R → R (There are infinite number of real numbers ) f : Z → Z (There are infinite number of integers) Steps : How to check onto? In this case the map is also called a one-to-one correspondence. \(h :{\mathbb{Z}_{36}}\to{\mathbb{Z}_{36}}\); \(h(n)\equiv 3n\) (mod 36). Solve for x. x = (y - 1) /2. That's the \(x\) we want to choose so that \(g(x)=y\). Since f is injective, this a is unique, so f 1 is well-de ned. \end{aligned}\], \[h(n) = \cases{ 2n & if $n\geq0$ \cr -n & if $n < 0$ \cr}\], Let \(y\) be any element in the codomain, \(B.\). Onto functions focus on the codomain. Let’s take some examples. All elements in B are used. [5.1] Informally, a function from A to B is a rule which assigns to each element a of A a unique element f(a) of B. Officially, we have Definition. hands-on exercise \(\PageIndex{5}\label{he:ontofcn-05}\). Perfectly valid functions. If \(y\in f(C)\), then \(y\in B\), and there exists an \(x\in C\) such that \(f(x)=y\). Example: Define f : R R by the rule f(x) = 5x - 2 for all x R. Prove that f is onto. CS 441 Discrete mathematics for CS M. Hauskrecht Bijective functions Theorem: Let f be a function f: A A from a set A to itself, where A is finite. So the discussions below are informal. This means a formal proof of surjectivity is rarely direct. A function \(f : A \to B\) is said to be bijective (or one-to-one and onto) if it is both injective and surjective. To prove a function, f: A!Bis surjective, or onto, we must show f(A) = B. Hence, we have to solve the equation \[0 = x^2-5x+6 = (x-2)(x-3).\nonumber\] The solutions are \(x=2\) and \(x=3\). … 1. exercise \(\PageIndex{10}\label{ex:ontofcn-10}\), Give an example of a function \(f :\mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{N}\) that is. Onto function or Surjective function : Function f from set A to set B is onto function if each element of set B is connected with set of A elements. Equivalently, a function is surjective if its image is equal to its codomain. Proof: A is finite and f is one-to-one (injective) • Is f an onto function (surjection)? If f and g both are onto function, then fog is also onto. If \(t :{\mathbb{R}\to}{\mathbb{R}}\) is defined by \(t(x)=x^2-5x+5\), find \(t^{-1}(\{-1\})\). is also onto. Therefore \(f\) is onto, by definition of onto. I'm writing a particular case in here, maybe I shouldn't have written a particular case. Here I will only show that fis one-to-one. x is a real number since sums and quotients (except for division by 0) of real numbers are real numbers. Therefore, this function is onto. It is possible that \(f^{-1}(D)=\emptyset\) for some subset \(D\). f(a) = b, then f is an on-to function. The French word sur means over or above, and relates to the fact that the image of the domain of a surjective function completely covers the function's codomain. \(s :{\mathbb{Z}_{10}}\to{\mathbb{Z}_{10}}\); \(s(n)\equiv n+5\) (mod 10). In arrow diagram representations, a function is onto if each element of the
co-domain has an arrow pointing to it from some element of the domain. For example sine, cosine, etc are like that. It means that every element “b” in the codomain B, there is exactly one element “a” in the domain A. such that f(a) = b. Perhaps, the most important thing to remember is: A function \(f :{A}\to{B}\) is onto if, for every element \(b\in B\), there exists an element \(a\in A\) such that \(f(a)=b\). • Yes. That is, combining the definitions of injective and surjective, ∀ ∈, ∃! Better yet: include the notation \(f(x)\) or \(f(C)\) in the discussion. \((a,b) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}\) since \(2x \in \mathbb{R}\) because the real numbers are closed under multiplication and \(0 \in \mathbb{R}.\) \(g(a,b)=g(2x,0)=\frac{2x+0}{2}=x\). Let f 1(b) = a. Example: Define g: Z
Z
by the rule g(n) = 2n - 1 for all n Z. Find \(u^{-1}((2,7\,])\) and \(v^{-1}((2,7\,])\). Example \(\PageIndex{3}\label{eg:ontofcn-03}\). Sal says T is Onto iff C (A) = Rm. Theorem: A function is surjective (onto) iff it has a right inverse Proof (⇒): Assume f: A → B is surjective – For every b ∈ B, there is a non-empty set A b ⊆ A such that for every a ∈ A b, f(a) = b (since f is surjective) – Define h : b ↦ an arbitrary element of A b – Again, this is a well-defined function since A b is Onto function could be explained by considering two sets, Set A and Set B, which consist of elements. All of the vectors in the null space are solutions to T (x)= 0. Let f: X → Y be a function. This means that ƒ (A) = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25} ≠ N = B. https://goo.gl/JQ8Nys The Composition of Surjective(Onto) Functions is Surjective Proof. Since f is injective, this a is unique, so f 1 is well-de ned. We need to find an \(x\) that maps to \(y.\) Suppose \(y=5x+11\); now we solve for \(x\) in terms of \(y\). Clearly, f : A ⟶ B is a one-one function. Then, we have. Also, if the range of \(f\) is equal to \(B\), then \(f\) is onto. However, g(n) 0
for any integer n. 2n = 1 by
adding 1 on both sides, n = 1/2 by
dividing 2 on both sides. This will be some function … Find \(r^{-1}(D)\), where \(D=\{3,9,27,81,\ldots\,\}\). Symbolically, f: X → Y is surjective ⇐⇒ ∀y ∈ Y,∃x ∈ Xf(x) = y Proof: Invertibility implies a unique solution to f(x)=y. It CAN (possibly) have a B with many A. The Chinese Remainder Theorem; 8. Onto Functions We start with a formal definition of an onto function. A function is said to be bijective or bijection, if a function f: A → B satisfies both the injective (one-to-one function) and surjective function (onto function) properties. On the other hand, to prove a function that is not one-to-one, a counter
example has to be given. When depicted by arrow diagrams, it is illustrated as below: A function which is a one-to-one correspondence. Since f is surjective, there exists a 2A such that f(a) = b. The quadratic function [math]f:\R\to [1,\infty)[/math] given by [math]f(x)=x^2+1[/math] is onto. Functions can be one-to-one functions (injections), onto functions (surjections), or both one-to-one and onto functions (bijections). Suppose that T (x)= Ax is a matrix transformation that is not one-to-one. The first variable comes from \(\{0,1,2\}\), the second comes from \(\{0,1,2,3\}\), and we add them to form the image. A function is one to one if f(x)=f(y) implies that x=y, onto if for all y in the domain there is an x such that f(x) = y, and it's bijective if it is both one to one and onto. And it will essentially be some function of all of the b's. Prove that h is
not one-to-one by giving a counter example. It follows that, f(x) = 5((y + 2)/5) -2 by
the substitution and the definition of f, = y by
basic algebra. By definition, to determine if a function is ONTO, you need to know information about both set A and B. In general, how can we tell if a function \(f :{A}\to{B}\) is onto? The best way of proving a function to be one to one or onto is by using the definitions. Into Function : Function f from set A to set B is Into function if at least set B has a element which is not connected with any of the element of set A. In your case, A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, and B = N is the set of natural numbers (? Therefore the inverse of is given by . To see this, notice that since f is a function… Now, we show that f 1 is a bijection. We also say that \(f\) is a one-to-one correspondence . we find the range of \(f\) is \([0,\infty)\). No, because we have at most two distinct images, but the codomain has four elements. If the function satisfies this condition, then it is known as one-to-one correspondence. In particular, the preimage of \(B\) is always \(A\). The image of set \(A\) is the range of \(f\), which is the set of all possible images that \(f\) can assume. Functions can be one-to-one functions (injections), onto functions (surjections), or both one-to-one and onto functions (bijections). Proof: Let y R. (We need to show that x in R such that f(x) = y.) In other words, each element of the codomain has non-empty preimage. Proof: Let y R.
(We need to show that x
in R such that f(x) = y. Is the function \(v:{\mathbb{N}}\to{\mathbb{N}}\) defined by \(v(n)=n+1\) onto? Monday: Functions as relations, one to one and onto functions What is a function? Let f: X → Y be a function. In other words, we must show the two sets, f(A) and B, are equal. exercise \(\PageIndex{6}\label{ex:ontofcn-6}\). Onto function or Surjective function : Function f from set A to set B is onto function if each element of set B is connected with set of A elements. Let f : A !B be bijective. Proof: Let y R. (We need to show that x in R such that f(x) = y.). A function ƒ: A → B is onto if and only if ƒ (A) = B; that is, if the range of ƒ is B. In an onto function, the domain is the number of elements in set A and codomain is the number of elements in set B. Let x ∈ A, y ∈ B and x, y ∈ R. Then, x is pre-image and y is image. \(f :{\mathbb{Z}}\to{\mathbb{Z}}\); \(f(n)=n^3+1\), \(g :{\mathbb{Q}}\to{\mathbb{Q}}\); \(g(x)=n^2\), \(h :{\mathbb{R}}\to{\mathbb{R}}\); \(h(x)=x^3-x\), \(k :{\mathbb{R}}\to{\mathbb{R}}\); \(k(x)=5^x\), \(p :{\mathscr{P}(\{1,2,3,\ldots,n\})}\to{\{0,1,2,\ldots,n\}}\); \(p(S)=|S|\), \(q :{\mathscr{P}(\{1,2,3,\ldots,n\})}\to{\mathscr{P}(\{1,2,3,\ldots,n\})}\); \(q(S)=\overline{S}\), \(f_1:\{1,2,3,4,5\}\to\{a,b,c,d\}\); \(f_1(1)=b\), \(f_1(2)=c\), \(f_1(3)=a\), \(f_1(4)=a\), \(f_1(5)=c\), \({f_2}:{\{1,2,3,4\}}\to{\{a,b,c,d,e\}}\); \(f_2(1)=c\), \(f_2(2)=b\), \(f_2(3)=a\), \(f_2(4)=d\), \({f_3}:{\mathbb{Z}}\to{\mathbb{Z}}\); \(f_3(n)=-n\), \({g_1}:{\{1,2,3,4,5\}}\to{\{a,b,c,d,e\}}\); \(g_1(1)=b\), \(g_1(2)=b\), \(g_1(3)=b\), \(g_1(4)=a\), \(g_1(5)=d\), \({g_2}:{\{1,2,3,4,5\}}\to{\{a,b,c,d,e\}}\); \(g_2(1)=d\), \(g_2(2)=b\), \(g_2(3)=e\), \(g_2(4)=a\), \(g_2(5)=c\). The following arrow-diagram shows onto function. Note that the Φ(ab) applies the operation of G, while Φ(a)Φ(b) applies the operation of G. For example, suppose we're trying to show G≈ G, with G a group under the operation "+" and G a group under "*". For the function \(g :{\mathbb{Z}}\to{\mathbb{Z}}\) defined by \[g(n) = n+3,\nonumber\] we find range of \(g\) is \(\mathbb{Z}\), and \(g(\mathbb{N})=\{4,5,6,\ldots\}\). Here, y is a real number. 3. is one-to-one onto (bijective) if it is both one-to-one and onto. I thought the way to check one to one is to graph it and see if anything intersects at two points in the graph, but that doesn't really help me if I have to write a formal proof without knowing what the graph looks like. Therefore, by the definition of onto, \(g\) is onto. The quadratic function [math]f:\R\to\R[/math] given by [math]f(x)=x^2+1[/math] is not. In the example of functions from X = {a, b, c} to Y = {4, 5}, F1 and F2 given in Table 1 are not onto. Then \(f(x,y)=f(a-\frac{b}{3} ,\frac{b}{3})=(a,b)\). Fix any . (d) \(f_4(C)=\{e\}\) ; \(f_4^{-1}(D)=\{5\}\). 2.1. . • If no horizontal line intersects the graph of the function more than once, then the function is one-to-one. The term for the surjective function was introduced by Nicolas Bourbaki. Let A = {a 1, a 2, a 3} and B = {b 1, b 2} then f : A -> B. (a) \({f_1}:{\{1,2,3,4,5\}}\to{\{a,b,c,d\}}\); \(f_1(1)=b\), \(f_1(2)=c\), \(f_1(3)=a\), \(f_1(4)=a\), \(f_1(5)=c\); \(C=\{1,3\}\), \(D=\{a,c\}\). Put f (x 1 ) = f (x 2 ), If x 1 = x 2 , then it is one-one. For the function \(f :\mathbb{R} \to{\mathbb{R}}\) defined by. Example 7 . So, given an arbitrary element of the codomain, we have shown a preimage in the domain. Any function induces a surjection by restricting its co We claim (without proof) that this function is bijective. We want to know if it contains elements not associated with any element in the domain. Why has "pence" been used in this sentence, not "pences"? Thus every element in the codomain has a preimage in the domain. Since x 1 = x 2 , f is one-one. So, total numbers of onto functions from X to Y are 6 (F3 to F8). Example: Define f : R R by the rule f(x) = 5x - 2 for all x R.Prove that f is onto.. Please Subscribe here, thank you!!! This means a formal proof of surjectivity is rarely direct. Wilson's Theorem and Euler's Theorem; 11. (a) \(u([\,3,5))=[\,20,26]\) and \(v(\{3,4,5\})=\{20,23,26\}\). Since \(u(-2)=u(1)=2\), the function \(u\) is not one-to-one. The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic; 6. Example \(\PageIndex{4}\label{eg:ontofcn-04}\), Is the function \({u}:{\mathbb{Z}}\to{\mathbb{Z}}\) defined by, \[u(n) = \cases{ 2n & if $n\geq0$ \cr -n & if $n < 0$ \cr} \nonumber\]. Putting f (x 1 ) = f (x 2 ) x 1 = x 2. Proof: Substitute y o into the function and solve for x. But g : X ⟶ Y is not one-one function because two distinct elements x1 and x3have the same image under function g. (i) Method to check the injectivity of a functi… The LibreTexts libraries are Powered by MindTouch® and are supported by the Department of Education Open Textbook Pilot Project, the UC Davis Office of the Provost, the UC Davis Library, the California State University Affordable Learning Solutions Program, and Merlot. \(f :{\mathbb{Z}_{10}}\to{\mathbb{Z}_{10}}\); \(h(n)\equiv 3n\) (mod 10). n a fs•I onto function (surjection)? If f and fog are onto, then it is not necessary that g is also onto. In this case, the function f sets up a pairing between elements
of A and elements of B that pairs each element of A with exactly one element
of B and each element of B with exactly one element of A. Notice we are asked for the image of a set with two elements. (a) \(f_1(C)=\{a,b\}\) ; \(f_1^{-1}(D)=\{2,3,4,5\}\) The function \(g\) is both one-to-one and onto. It is clearly onto, because, given any \(y\in[2,5]\), we can find at least one \(x\in[1,3]\) such that \(h(x)=y\). We want to find \(x\) such that \(t(x)=x^2-5x+5=-1\). Definition 2.1. Exploring the solution set of Ax = b. Matrix condition for one-to-one transformation. \(r:{\mathbb{Z}_{36}}\to{\mathbb{Z}_{36}}\); \(r(n)\equiv 5n\) (mod 36). Therefore, \(f\) is onto if and only if \(f^{-1}(\{b\})\neq \emptyset\) for every \(b\in B\). exercise \(\PageIndex{7}\label{ex:ontofcn-7}\), exercise \(\PageIndex{8}\label{ex:ontofcn-8}\), exercise \(\PageIndex{9}\label{ex:ontofcn-9}\). (a) Not onto (b) Not onto (c) Onto (d) Not onto . In the example of functions from X = {a, b, c} to Y = {4, 5}, F1 and F2 given in Table 1 are not onto. (We need to show x1

A function f from A to B is called onto if for all b in B there is an a in A such that f (a) = b. Finding an inverse function for a function given
by a formula: Example: Define f: R R
by the rule f(x) = 5x - 2 for all x -1. f -1(y) = x such
that f(x) = y. f has an inverse function if and only if f is both one-to-one and onto. Therefore, if f-1 (y) ∈ A, ∀ y ∈ B then function is onto. An onto function is also called surjective function. Legal. A function is said to be bijective or bijection, if a function f: A → B satisfies both the injective (one-to-one function) and surjective function (onto function) properties. Now, since \(x_1+y_1=x_2+y_2,\) subtract equals, \(y_1\) and \(y_2\) from both sides to get \(x_1=x_2.\) Because \(x_1=x_2\) and \(y_1=y_2\), we have \((x_1,y_1)=(x_2,y_2).\) It is clear that \(f\) is neither one-to-one nor onto. (b) \(f_2(C)=\{a,c\}\) ; \(f_2^{-1}(D)=\{2,4\}\) In the first figure, you can see that for each element of B, there is a pre-image or a matching element in Set A. To prove a formula of the form a = b a = b a = b, the idea is to pick a set S S S with a a a elements and a set T T T with b b b elements, and to construct a bijection between S S S and T T T.. Then show that . Explain. Example \(\PageIndex{1}\label{eg:ontofcn-01}\), The graph of the piecewise-defined functions \(h :{[1,3]}\to{[2,5]}\) defined by, \[h(x) = \cases{ 3x- 1 & if $1\leq x\leq 2$, \cr -3x+11 & if $2 < x\leq 3$, \cr} \nonumber\], is displayed on the left in Figure 6.5. The preimage of \(D\subseteq B\) is defined as \(f^{-1}(D) = \{x\in A \mid f(x)\in D\}\). Create your account . For example, if C (A) = Rk and Rm is a subspace of Rk, then the condition for "onto" would still be satisfied since every point in Rm is still mapped to by C (A). ), and ƒ (x) = x². Maybe it just looks like 2b1 plus 3b2-- I'm just writing a particular case, it won't always be this-- minus b3. Take any real number, x ∈ R. Choose ( a, b) = ( 2 x, 0) . To prove that a function is not surjective, simply argue that some element of cannot possibly be the output of the function . Now, a general function can be like this: A General Function. A surjective function is a surjection. Determine \(f(\{(0,2), (1,3)\})\), where the function \(f :\{0,1,2\} \times\{0,1,2,3\} \to \mathbb{Z}\) is defined according to. Choose \(x=\frac{y-11}{5}.\) Prove that g is not onto by giving a counter example. List all the onto functions from \(\{1,2,3,4\}\) to \(\{a,b\}\)? Public Key Cryptography; 12. Its graph is displayed on the right of Figure 6.5. 1. define f : AxB -> A by f(a,b) = a. Proof The function is onto by the definition of an orbit To show the function from CS 95590 at Virginia Tech The horizontal line y = b crosses the graph of y = f(x) at precisely the points where f(x) = b. 1.1. . The key question is: given an element \(y\) in the codomain, is it the image of some element \(x\) in the domain? Consider the function \(f :{\mathbb{Z}}\to{\mathbb{Z}}\) defined by \(f(x)=x^2\), and \(C=\{0,1,2,3\}\). We do not want any two of them sharing a common image. Is it onto? Determine which of the following are onto functions. If \(y\in f(C)\), then \(y\in B\), and there exists an \(x\in C\) We will de ne a function f 1: B !A as follows. f(a) = b, then f is an on-to function. We also acknowledge previous National Science Foundation support under grant numbers 1246120, 1525057, and 1413739. Since \(\mathbb{R}\) is closed under subtraction and non-zero division, \(a-\frac{b}{3} \in \mathbb{R}\) and \(\frac{b}{3} \in \mathbb{R}\) , thus \((x,y) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}\). In exploring whether or not the function is an injection, it might be a good idea to uses cases based on whether the inputs are even or odd. Thus, f : A ⟶ B is one-one. One-to-one functions focus on the elements in the domain. Number of onto functions from one set to another – In onto function from X to Y, all the elements of Y must be used. The function is bijective (one-to-one and onto, one-to-one correspondence, or invertible) if each element of the codomain is mapped to by exactly one element of the domain. For functions from R to R, we can use the “horizontal line test” to see if a function is one-to-one and/or onto. Onto function (Surjection) A function f : A B is onto if each element of B has its pre-image in A. that we consider in Examples 2 and 5 is bijective (injective and surjective). Let f 1(b) = a.

The image of an ordered pair is the average of the two coordinates of the ordered pair. Hands-on exercise \(\PageIndex{2}\label{he:ontofcn-02}\). By the theorem, there is a nontrivial solution of Ax = 0. \(g :{\mathbb{Z}_{10}}\to{\mathbb{Z}_{10}}\); \(g(n)\equiv 5n\) (mod 10). Prove:’ 1.’The’composition’of’two’surjective’functions’is’surjective.’ 2.’The’composition’of’two’injectivefunctionsisinjective.’ We say f is onto, or surjective, if and only if for any y ∈ Y, there exists some x ∈ X such that y = f(x). We already know that f(A) Bif fis a well-de ned function. f : A B
can be both one-to-one and onto at the same time. ), If such a real number x exists, then 5x -2 = y and
x = (y + 2)/5. If we can always express \(x\) in terms of \(y\), and if the resulting \(x\)-value is in the domain, the function is onto. In addition to finding images & preimages of elements, we also find images & preimages of sets. \(g(x)=g(\frac{y-11}{5})=5(\frac{y-11}{5})+11=y-11+11=y.\) Let \(f :A \to B\) be a function. x is a real number since sums and quotients (except for division

Let b 2B. \end{aligned}\] Since preimages are sets, we need to write the answers in set notation. A function f : A ⟶ B is said to be a one-one function or an injection, if different elements of A have different images in B. Consider the function . If there is a function f which has a onIMG SRC="images//I> correspondence
from a set A to a set B, then there is a function from B to A that "undoes"
the action of f. This function is called the inverse
function for f. A function f and its inverse function
f -1. Therefore, \(t^{-1}(\{-1\}) = \{2,3\}\). We need to show that b 1 = b 2. then the function is not one-to-one. Determining whether a transformation is onto. Let f : A ⟶ B and g : X ⟶ Y be two functions represented by the following diagrams. Therefore, this function is onto. Congruence; 2. FUNCTIONS A function f from X to Y is onto (or surjective ), if and only if for every element yÐY there is an element xÐX with f(x)=y. So the discussions below are informal. Proving or Disproving That Functions Are Onto. Thus, for any real number, we have shown a preimage R × R that maps to this real number. Using the definition of , we get , which is equivalent to . Write something like this: “consider .” (this being the expression in terms of you find in the scrap work) Show that . It fails the "Vertical Line Test" and so is not a function. In other words, nothing is left out. In other words, ƒ is onto if and only if there for every b ∈ B exists a ∈ A such that ƒ (a) = b. This function maps ordered pairs to a single real numbers. A function is surjective or onto if each element of the codomain is mapped to by at least one element of the domain. (c) Yes, if \(f(x_1,y_1)=f(x_2,y_2) \mbox{ then } (x_1+y_1,3y_1)=(x_2+y_2,3y_2).\) This means \(3y_1=3y_2\) and (dividing by 3) \(y_1=y_2.\) This is equivalent to the following statement: for every element b in the codomain B, there is exactly one element a in the domain A such that f(a)=b.Another name for bijection is 1-1 correspondence (read "one-to-one correspondence). Now, since the real numbers are closed under subtraction and non-zero division, \(x \in \mathbb{R}.\) As below: a general function with a formal definition of an onto function could be explained considering.
