Questions and Answers

What is a function in mathematical analysis?

  • A relation between two sets where each element in the domain is associated with more than one element in the range
  • A relation between two sets where each element in the domain is associated with exactly one element in the range (correct)
  • A relation between two sets where each element in the domain has no association with any element in the range
  • A relation between two sets where each element in the domain is associated with multiple elements in the range

How is a function denoted when mapping every element from set A to set B?

  • $x = f(y)$
  • $y = f(x)$ (correct)
  • $f(x) = y$
  • $y = f(1/x)$

What conditions must a function satisfy for its inverse to exist?

  • The function must be injective and surjective (correct)
  • The function must be injective but not necessarily surjective
  • The function must be surjective but not necessarily injective
