If f(x1) = f (x2) ⇒ x1 = x2 ∀ x1 x2 ∈ A then the function f: A → B is
Correct Answer :
one-one
Solution :
The correct option is one-one.
Concept and Definition:
A function
is a rule that associates each element in set A (the domain) with an element in set B (the codomain).
A function is defined as a one-one (or injective) function if distinct elements in the domain have distinct images in the codomain. In other words, no two different elements in the domain map to the same element in the codomain.
Mathematically, we can express this condition in two equivalent ways:
1. If two inputs are different, their outputs must be different:
2. The contrapositive statement (if the outputs are equal, the inputs must be equal):
for all
.
Conclusion:
Since the statement in the question,
is the formal mathematical definition of injectivity, the function is classified as a one-one function.
