The diagram you've provided shows two sets, \( A \) and \( B \), with a function \( g \) mapping elements from set \( A \) to set \( B \). The elements of set \( A \) are \( \{2, 3, 4, 5\} \) and the elements of set \( B \) are \( \{2, 3, 4, 5, 6\} \). The arrows represent how each element of \( A \) is mapped to an element in \( B \).

Here is the mapping of each element from \( A \) to \( B \) as indicated by the diagram:
- \( g(2) = 2 \)
- \( g(3) = 3 \)
- \( g(4) = 4 \)
- \( g(5) = 5 \)

It looks like the function \( g \) is an identity function for the elements \( 2, 3, 4, 5 \), where each element of set \( A \) is mapped to itself in set \( B \). However, there is one extra element in \( B \) (6), which does not have a pre-image in \( A \).

### Some key observations:
1. This is a one-to-one (injective) function since every element in \( A \) maps to a distinct element in \( B \).
2. It is not surjective because the element \( 6 \in B \) does not have a corresponding pre-image in \( A \).

Would you like a deeper explanation of injective, surjective, and bijective functions or have other questions about this mapping?

Here are 5 related questions to explore this concept further:
1. How can we formally define injective and surjective functions?
2. What changes are needed to make \( g \) a surjective function?
3. How does the concept of a bijection relate to this function?
4. Can you provide an example of a non-injective function and explain why it fails?
5. What would happen if \( A \) had more elements than \( B \)?

**Tip:** An injective function is one where no two distinct elements in the domain map to the same element in the codomain.

The diagram shows two sets, A and B, with a function g mapping elements from set A to set B. What is the nature of this mapping?
