QuestionIs f={(a,0),(c,12),(d,18),(b,12)}f=\{(a, 0),(c, 12),(d, 18),(b, 12)\} a function from A={a,b,c,d}A=\{a, b, c, d\}? Explain your answer.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. A={a,b,c,d}A=\{a, b, c, d\} is the domain of the function. . f={(a,0),(c,12),(d,18),(b,12)}f=\{(a,0),(c,12),(d,18),(b,12)\} is the set of ordered pairs, where the first element of each pair is from the domain AA and the second element is from the range BB.

STEP 2

A relation ff from a set AA to a set BB is a function if every element of AA is associated with exactly one element of BB. In other words, for each element in the domain, there is one and only one corresponding element in the range.

STEP 3

Let's check whether each element of AA is associated with exactly one element of BB in the relation ff.

STEP 4

The element aa in AA is associated with the element 00 in BB.

STEP 5

The element bb in AA is associated with the element 1212 in BB.

STEP 6

The element cc in AA is associated with the element 1212 in BB.

STEP 7

The element dd in AA is associated with the element 1818 in BB.

STEP 8

From steps4 to7, we can see that each element of AA is associated with exactly one element of BB. Therefore, ff is a function from AA to BB.
The correct answer is Yes, because each element in the domain is paired with a unique element in the range.
