Question
Using the definition, prove that the function f: A→ B is invertible if and only if f is both one-one and onto
Solution
Let f: A → B be many-one function.
Let f(a) = p and f(b) = p
So, for inverse function we will have f-1(p) = a and f-1(p) = b
Thus, in this case inverse function is not defined as we have two images ‘a and b’ for one pre-image ‘p’.
But for f to be invertible it must be one-one.
Now, let f: A → B is not onto function.
Let B = {p, q, r} and range of f be {p, q}.
Here image ‘r’ has not any pre-image, which will have no image in set A.
And for f to be invertible it must be onto.
Thus, ‘f’ is invertible if and only if ‘f’ is both one-one and onto.
A function f = X → Y is invertible iff f is a bijective function.
