If you have a family $mathcal F$ of functions from a set $X$ into some other set, we say that it separates the points of $x$ if, for each $x_1,x_2in X$ with $x_1neq x_2$, there is some $finmathcal F$ such that $f(x_1)neq f(x_2)$.

So, if $mathcal F$ consists of a single function $f$, this is the same thing as asserting that $f$ is injective.

A function that separates points is a (smooth) real-valued function which has different value at the different points. If we only have two points, it is possible (depending on your lecturer and / or textbook author) that such a function is required to have the value $0$ at one point and $1$ at the other.

Let $A$ and $B$ be sets and let $S$ be a set of functions $f:A to B.$ $S$ is said to separate the points of $A$, if for any $x,y in A$ with $x ne y$, there is $f in S$ such that $f(x) ne f(y)$.
