    Constant Functions
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the number of different types of functions from set A, containing six elements, to set B, containing five elements. For onto functions, the inclusion-exclusion principle is suggested to determine the total count. The term "into" refers to the total number of functions, which is calculated as 5^6, representing all possible mappings from A to B. Constant functions are defined as those that map every element of A to a single element in B, resulting in exactly five constant functions. The thread emphasizes understanding these concepts for accurate function classification.

If $A = \left\{1,2,3,4,5,6\right\}$ and $B = \left\{a,b,c,d,e\right\}$. Then Total no. of $(1)$ onto function from $A$ to $B$$(2)$ into function from $A$ to $B$$(3)$ Constant function from $A$ to $B$Plz explain it breifly"Thanks"

$(1)$ onto function from $A$ to $B$
$(2)$ into function from $A$ to $B$
$(3)$ Constant function from $A$ to $B$

For #1 use inclusion/exclusion to figure the answer.

In #2 how is into used? There are $5^6$ functions from a set six to a set of five.

For #3 think what it means to be a constant function.
 
Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
