This function maps ordered pairs to a single real numbers. The image of an ordered pair is the average of the two coordinates of the ordered pair. To decide if this function is onto, we need to determine if every element in the codomain has a preimage in the domain. Solution. Take any real number, \(x \in \mathbb{R}.\) Choose \((a,b) = (2x,0)\).

In mathematics, for a function , the image of an input value is the single output value produced by when passed . The preimage of an output value is the set of input values that produce . More generally, evaluating at each element of a given subset of its domain produces a set, called the " image of under (or through) ".
Oct 10, 2024 · Let f:A->B be a map between sets A and B. Let Y subset= B. Then the preimage of Y under f is denoted by f^(-1)(Y), and is the set of all elements of A that map to elements in Y under f. Thus f^(-1)(Y)={a in A|f(a) in Y}. (1) One is not to be mislead by the notation into thinking of the preimage as having to do with an inverse of f. The preimage is defined whether f has an inverse or not. Note ...
The preimage is denoted as f^(-1)(y), where the (-1) superscript does not denote the inverse function but represents the preimage operation. To visualize this, let’s consider a simple function f(x) = x^2, which maps elements from set A (real numbers) to set B (non-negative real numbers). If we take the preimage of the element 4, denoted as f ...
10.3. Images and preimages of sets. 🔗. When we defined the function , f: A → B, we said that if f (a) = b then we called b the image of a under . f. This idea can be extended quite naturally to think of the image of a set of points. Also, given an element , b ∈ B, we can ask for all the elements of A that map to it.
Images and Preimages. For a function f: A → B and a subset A′ ⊆ A, the image of A′ under f is the set of all values b ∈ B such that b = a for some a ∈A′ and is denoted as f(A′). In set builder notations, f(A′) = {f(a): a ∈A′}. Note that f(A′) has a subset of the domain between the parentheses and denotes a set of points ...

Oct 18, 2021 · Example \(6.9.6\). Perhaps we would like to make a list of all the people whose father is a friend of the pop singer Bono. If \(B_{1}\) is the set of Bono’s friends, then the mathematical notation for the set of these people is \[\left\{x \in \text { PEOPLE } \mid \text { father }(x) \in B_{1}\right\} .\]
