Which of the following relations are functions? Give reasons. If it is a function

Question:

Which of the following relations are functions? Give reasons. If it is a function, determine its domain and range.

(i) $\{(2,1),(5,1),(8,1),(11,1),(14,1),(17,1)\}$

(ii) $\{(2,1),(4,2),(6,3),(8,4),(10,5),(12,6),(14,7)\}$

(iii) $\{(1,3),(1,5),(2,5)\}$

Solution:

(i) $\{(2,1),(5,1),(8,1),(11,1),(14,1),(17,1)\}$

Since $2,5,8,11,14$, and 17 are the elements of the domain of the given relation having their unique images, this relation is a function.

Here, domain $=\{2,5,8,11,14,17\}$ and range $=\{1\}$

(ii) $\{(2,1),(4,2),(6,3),(8,4),(10,5),(12,6),(14,7)\}$

Since $2,4,6,8,10,12$, and 14 are the elements of the domain of the given relation having their unique images, this relation is a function.

Here, domain $=\{2,4,6,8,10,12,14\}$ and range $=\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7\}$

(iii) $\{(1,3),(1,5),(2,5)\}$

Since the same first element i.e., 1 corresponds to two different images i.e., 3 and 5 , this relation is not a function.
