One-one function (Injection)
One-one function (Injection)
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. Thus, f : A ⟶ B is one-one.
a ≠ b ⇒ f(a) ≠ f(b) for all a, b ∈ A
⟺ f(a) = f(b) ⇒ a = b for all a, b ∈ A.
e.g. Let f : A ⟶ B and g : X ⟶ Y be two functions represented by the following diagrams.
