Let X = {1, 2, 3, 4,}, Y = {1, 5, 9, 11, 15, 16} and F = {(1, 5), (2, 9), (3, 1), (4, 5), (2, 11)}.
Are the following true?
(i) F is a relation from X to Y (ii) F is a function from X to Y. Justify your answer in following true?
X = {1, 2, 3, 4} and Y = {1, 5, 9, 11, 15, 16}
and F = {(1, 5), (2, 9), (3, 1), (4, 5), (2, 11)}
(i) To show: $F$ is a relation from $X$ to $Y$
First elements in $\mathrm{F}=1,2,3,4$
All the first elements are in Set $X$
So, the first element is from set $X$
Second elements in $\mathrm{F}=5,9,1,11$
All the second elements are in Set $Y$
So, the second element is from set $Y$
Since the first element is from set $X$ and the second element is from set $Y$
Hence, $F$ is a relation from $X$ to $Y$.
(ii) To show: $F$ is a function from $X$ to $Y$
Function:
(i) all elements of the first set are associated with the elements of the second set.
(ii) An element of the first set has a unique image in the second set.
$F=\{(1,5),(2,9),(3,1),(4,5),(2,11)\}$
Here, 2 is coming twice.
Hence, it does not have a unique (one) image.
So, it is not a function.
