- | * The composition of two injective functions is injective. | + | |
- | * The composition of two surjective functions is surjective. | + | * The composition of two surjective functions is surjective. |
- | * A function is a bijection if it is both injective (1 to 1) and surjective (onto). Hence, the composition of two bijective functions is a bijection. | + | * A function is a bijection if it is both injective (1 to 1) and surjective (onto).
