Image of Intersection under Injection/Family of Sets

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

Let $\family {S_i}_{i \mathop \in I}$ be a family of subsets of $S$.

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

Then:
 * $\ds f \sqbrk {\bigcap_{i \mathop \in I} S_i} = \bigcap_{i \mathop \in I} f \sqbrk {S_i}$

$f$ is an injection.

Proof
An injection is a type of one-to-one relation, and therefore also a one-to-many relation.

Therefore Image of Intersection under One-to-Many Relation: Family of Sets applies:


 * $\ds \RR \sqbrk {\bigcap_{i \mathop \in I} S_i} = \bigcap_{i \mathop \in I} \RR \sqbrk {S_i}$

$\RR$ is a one-to-many relation.

We have that $f$ is a mapping and therefore a many-to-one relation.

So $f$ is a one-to-many relation $f$ is also an injection.

It follows that:
 * $\ds f \sqbrk {\bigcap_{i \mathop \in I} S_i} = \bigcap_{i \mathop \in I} f \sqbrk {S_i}$

$f$ is an injection.
