What Is Image And Preimage In Math. X y is any function not necessarily invertible the preimage or inverse image of an element. For example the square abcd when translated four units right becomes square a b c d.
Now let me ask you an interesting question and this is kind of for bonus points. We want to know if it contains elements not associated with any element in the domain. Preimage we go from a subset of our codomain and we say what subset of our domain maps into that subset of our codomain.
Image of a set.
More generally evaluating a given function f at each element of a given subset a of its domain produces a set called the image of a under or through f similarly the inverse image or preimage of a given subset b of the codomain of f is the set of all elements of the domain that map to the members. X y is any function not necessarily invertible the preimage or inverse image of an element. For example the square abcd when translated four units right becomes square a b c d. Preimage point a point to which a transformation has been applied.
