Claim (a): Consider the function f: R→ [0, ∞) given by f(x) = x²
for x E R. This f is surjective but not injective. It is not bijective.
Proof of (a). To prove surjectivity of f, we must show that for
every y € [0, ∞) there exists
such that f(x) = y.
Let y = [0, ∞). The non-negative number y has a non-negative
square root x = √y≥0. Then we have
f(x)
x²
Since x ER, this shows that f is surjective.
To prove non-injectivity of f, we must prove that there exists x1, x2 E R
such that x₁ # x₂ and
Consider for example x₁ = -3 and x₂ =
f(x₁)
ƒ(−3)

Since 1x2, this shows that f is not injective.
Finally, f is not bijective because it
