Theorem
Let $\RR = S \times T$ be a relation.
For all subsets $A$ of the domain of $\RR$, the image of $A$ is a subset of the codomain of $\RR$:
- $\forall A \subseteq \Dom \RR: \RR \sqbrk A \subseteq T$
In the notation of direct image mappings, this can be written as:
- $\forall A \in \powerset S: \map {\RR^\to} A \in \powerset T$
Corollary 1
Let $\RR = S \times T$ be a relation.
The image of $\RR$ is a subset of the codomain of $\RR$:
- $\Img \RR \subseteq T$
These results also hold for mappings:
Corollary 2
Let $f: S \to T$ be a mapping.
For all subsets $A$ of the domain $S$, the image of $A$ is a subset of the codomain of $f$:
- $\forall A \subseteq S: f \sqbrk A \subseteq T$
Corollary 3
Let $f: S \to T$ be a mapping.
The image of $f$ is a subset of the codomain of $f$:
- $\Img f \subseteq T$
