Image
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_(mathematics) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_image
The image of a function is the set of all output values it may produce.
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 of B
.
Image and inverse image may also be defined for relations, not just functions.
