Direct Image Mapping of Mapping is Empty iff Argument is Empty

Theorem
Let $S$ and $T$ be sets.

Let $f: S \to T$ be a mapping from $S$ to $T$.

Let $f^\to$ be the direct image mapping of $f$:


 * $f^\to: \powerset S \to \powerset T: \map {f^\to} X = \set {t \in T: \exists s \in X: \map f s = t}$

Then:
 * $\map {f^\to} X = \O \iff X = \O$

Proof
By definition, a mapping is a left-total relation.

The result then follows from Direct Image Mapping of Left-Total Relation is Empty iff Argument is Empty.
