Original question and givens

The declared total function f:A→B has A={-6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0}, B={1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15}, and table {(-6, 1), (-5, 3), (-4, 5), (-3, 7), (-2, 9), (-1, 11), (0, 13)}. Is f both injective and surjective? Decide bijectivity from the actual table.

  • G001 — The declared total function f:A→B has A={-6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0}, B={1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15}, and table {(-6, 1), (-5, 3), (-4, 5), (-3, 7), (-2, 9), (-1, 11), (0, 13)}. Is f both injective and surjective? Decide bijectivity from the actual table.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

A=[-6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0]; B=[1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15]; table=[[-6, 1], [-5, 3], [-4, 5], [-3, 7], [-2, 9], [-1, 11], [0, 13]]

After

legal total function on the declared A→B

Conditions: none

First check exactly one table value for every A-element,and no input outside A or output outside B.Injectivity and surjectivity refer to this declared codomain.
