    Proving a surjective map iff the map of the inverse image is itself

    In the recommended format :) Homework Statement First we say that f:S→T is a map. If Y ⊆ T and we define f-1(Y) to be the largest subset of S which f maps to Y: f-1(Y) = {x:x ∈ S and f(x) ∈ Y} I must prove that f[f-1(Y)] = Y for every subset Y of T if, and only if, T = f(S). Homework...
