Find an appropriate set and a function such that neither is a subset of the other.
$begingroup$
I'm supposed to find a function $f:Xrightarrow Y$ and a set $Asubseteq X$ such that neither $f(A^{c})subseteq f(A)^{c}$ nor $f(A)^{c}subseteq f(A^{c})$.
I really don't know what to look for or start.

Always try some finite examples first:
$X=Y={1,2,3,4}$, $A={1,2}$, $f(1)=1, f(2)=2,f(3)=2, f(4)=3$.
Then $f[A]= {1,2}$, $f[A^c]={2,3}$, $f[A]^c = {3,4}$, so neither inclusion holds between $f[A^c]$ and $f[A]^c$. Found by some trial and error.
