OBJECTIVE Mareriat Requrrep
To demonstrate a function which is Cardboard, nails, strings, adhesive
not one-one but is onto. and plastic strips.
METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
1. Paste a plastic strip on the left hand side of the cardboard and fix three nails
on it as shown in the Fig.3.1. Name the nails on the strip as 1, 2 and 3.
v
. Paste another strip on the right hand side of the cardboard and fix two nails in
the plastic strip as shown in Fig.3.2. Name the nails on the strip as a and b.

DEMONSTRATION
1. Take the set X = (1, 2, 3}
2. Take the set ¥ = {a,b}
3. Join (correspondence) elements of X to the elements of Y as shown in Fig. 3.3
OBSERVATION
1. The image of the element | of X in Y is
The image of the element 2 of X in Y isThe image of the element 3 of X in Y is
So, Fig. 3.3 represents a
2. Every element in X has a
(one-one/not one-one).
3. The pre-image of each element of Y in X
image in Y. So, the function is
(exists/does not exist).
So, the function is (onto/not onto).
APPLICATION
This activity can be used to demonstrate the
concept of one-one and onto function.
Demonstrate the same
activity by changing the
number of the elements of
the sets X and Y.
