Understanding Functions: Image, Range, and Pre-image

This video tutorial explains the concepts of codomain, image, range, and pre-image in mathematics, focusing on their roles in understanding functions. It defines a function, discusses the image of elements, subsets, and functions, and explains the pre-image concept. The video also highlights the importance of these concepts in various mathematical areas, such as calculus and algebra.
