Original question and givens

The declared total function f:A→B has A={-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0}, B={-7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1}, and table {(-5, -1), (-4, -1), (-3, -2), (-2, -2), (-1, -3), (0, -3)}. Classify f as bijective, injective only, surjective only, or neither injective nor surjective.

G001 — The declared total function f:A→B has A={-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0}, B={-7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1}, and table {(-5, -1), (-4, -1), (-3, -2), (-2, -2), (-1, -3), (0, -3)}. Classify f as bijective, injective only, surjective only, or neither injective nor surjective.

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.

S001 · implies

Before

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

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.
