Function injective iff












2












$begingroup$


Let $f:Xto Y$. Prove that
$$text{f is injective}iff forall A subseteq X, quad f(X-A)subseteq Y-f(A)$$
My try:

For $leftarrow$.

Let $f(x_1)= f(x_2)$ and take for $A={x_1}$ then if $x_1neq x_2$ then $x_2in X-A$ so $f(x_2)subseteq Y-f(x_1)=Y-f(x_2)$ so $x_1=x_2$


For $rightarrow$


If $yin f(X-A)$ then $f^{-1}(y) in X-A $
$yin f(X) $ and $f^{-1}(y)notin A$

Since $f(X)subseteq Y$ then
$$yin Y-f(A)$$
I'm not sure for $leftarrow$, but for $rightarrow$ I think I'm wrong because didn't use injective

    It is better to use $setminus$ for the relative complements, not to mix up with the Minkowski addition.

    The claim: If $yin f(X-A)$ then $f^{-1}(y) in X-A$ is not true in general, since $f^{-1}(y)$ may contain many points. However, for an injective function $f^{-1}(y)$ is a singleton.
