Input Output Mapping 68Ea65
1. **State the problem:** We are given a mapping from a set of inputs to outputs as follows: 2 maps to 8, 8 maps to 2, 5 maps to 5, and 7 has no output.
2. **Identify the type of relation:** This mapping can be viewed as a function or relation from the input set \{2,8,5,7\} to the output set \{8,2,5\}.
3. **Check if it is a function:** A function assigns exactly one output to each input. Here, each input except 7 has exactly one output, but 7 has no output, so this is a partial function or a relation but not a total function.
4. **Analyze the mapping:**
- 2 \to 8
- 8 \to 2
- 5 \to 5
- 7 \to no output
5. **Determine if the function is one-to-one (injective):**
- 2 maps to 8
- 8 maps to 2
- 5 maps to 5
No two inputs map to the same output, so it is injective.
6. **Determine if the function is onto (surjective):**
- Outputs are 8, 2, 5
- Inputs 2, 8, 5 map to these outputs
- 7 has no output, so the function is not defined for 7, but all outputs are covered by some input.
7. **Summary:** The relation is an injective partial function from inputs \{2,8,5,7\} to outputs \{8,2,5\} with 7 having no output.
**Final answer:** The mapping is an injective partial function with domain \{2,8,5,7\} and codomain \{8,2,5\}, where 7 is not mapped to any output.
