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 $f$:

$\Img f \subseteq T$


Proof

\(\ds A\) \(\subseteq\) \(\ds \Dom \RR\)
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds \RR \sqbrk A\) \(\subseteq\) \(\ds \Img \RR\) Image of Subset is Subset of Image
\(\ds \) \(\subseteq\) \(\ds T\)
