Expert Answer
Consider a function 
The set of all elements of X are called the domain of f and the set of all elements of Y are called the range of f.
Range is also called as image of f.
In general, the image of f is a subset of codomain.
It may coincide with its codomain.
A function f from X to Y is called onto if for all y in Y, there is an x in X, such that 
So to prove that a function is onto, we need to prove that the range of the function is equal to its codomain.
Now let us consider the function, 
This function is a straight line.
Suppose 
If x=1, then we have, f(x) = x + 1 = 2
If x=2, then we have, f(x) = x + 1 = 3
.
.
.
.
Thus, each x value has one unique y=f(x) value.
That is for all elements in the range is having their pre-images in domain.
Thus we have, range = codomain
