Question
Is the given relation a function? Give reasons for your answer.
g = `"n", 1/"n" |"n"` is a positive integer
Advertisements
Solution
g = `"n", 1/"n" |"n"` is a positive integer
Therefore, the element n is a positive integer and the corresponding `1/"n"` will be a unique and distinct number.
Therefore, every element in the domain has unique image.
A relation is said to be function if every element of one set has one and only one image in other set.
Hence, g is a function.
