Question : 20
Total: 36
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) We have a relation
R = {(2, 1), (5, 1), (8, 1), (11, 1), (14, 1), (17, 1)}
Since 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17 are the elements of domain of R having their unique images.
∴ The given relation is a function.
Hence domain = {2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17} and
Range = {1}.
(ii) We have a relation
R = {(2, 1), (4, 2), (6, 3), (8, 4), (10, 5), (12, 6), (14, 7)}
Since 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 are the elements of domain of R having their unique images.
∴ The given relation is a function.
Hence domain = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14} and Range = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}.
(iii) We have a relation
R = {(1, 3), (1, 5), (2, 5)}
Since the distinct ordered pairs (1, 3) and (1, 5) have same first element i.e., 1 does not have a unique image under R.
∴ It is not a function.
