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:
- $\ds f \sqbrk {\bigcap_{i \mathop \in I} S_i} \subseteq \bigcap_{i \mathop \in I} f \sqbrk {S_i}$
where $\ds \bigcap_{i \mathop \in I} S_i$ denotes the intersection of $\family {S_i}_{i \mathop \in I}$.
Proof
As $f$, being a mapping, is also a relation, we can apply Image of Intersection under Relation: Family of Sets:
- $\ds \RR \sqbrk {\bigcap_{i \mathop \in I} S_i} \subseteq \bigcap_{i \mathop \in I} \RR \sqbrk {S_i}$
