Lecture 3 - Functions, Sequences and Relations Flashcards
Of what is a function f : X -> Y a subset?
X x Y
In what cases would a statement not be considered a function?
- If an element in X did not map to any value in Y (domain -> codomain)
- If one element in X mapped to multiple elements in Y
How do we test to see if a statement is a function?
The Vertical Line Test
How do we test to see if a function is one to one?
The Horizontal Line Test
What does it mean for a function f from X->Y to be onto?
That all elements in the codomain map to an element in the domain.
What is a function that is both one-to-one and onto?
A bijection
What does a binary operator on a set X do?
It associates with each ordered pair of elements in X one element in X
What does a unary operator on a set X do?
It associates with each single element of X one element in X
What type of diagram shows if a statement is one-to-one, onto, or a function?
Arrow diagram
