f : N\rightarrow N

f(x) = x^2

One- one:

x,y \in N  then f(x)=f(y)

                                  x^{2}=y^{2}

                                   x=y

\therefore  f is one- one i.e. injective.

For 3 \in N there is no x in N such that f(x)=x^{2}=3

\therefore  f is not onto i.e. not surjective.

Hence, f is injective but not surjective.
