Math Problem Statement

Given a mapping f: A → B, determine the domain and range based on the diagram provided.

Solution

The image you uploaded shows a diagram representing a mapping f:ABf: A \to B between two sets. There are two sets labeled AA and BB, and the elements of set AA (on the left) are mapped to the elements of set BB (on the right). Based on the provided diagram, I can help analyze the domain and range.

Key components:

  • Domain refers to the set of input values (elements from set AA).
  • Range refers to the set of output values (elements from set BB) that are actually used in the mapping (not necessarily all elements of BB).

To determine which of the provided options (A, B, C, D) gives the correct domain and range, let's break down the sets:

  1. Domain is the entire set AA, which appears to be {a,b,c}\{a, b, c\}.
  2. Range will be the set of elements in BB that are mapped to by elements of AA. From the diagram, it seems like elements of AA are mapped to either 22 or 33, so the range is {2,3}\{2, 3\}.

Now let's check the options:

  • a. Domain = {a,b,c}\{a, b, c\}, Range = {2,3}\{2, 3\} (this is the correct option based on the analysis)
  • b. Domain = {a,b,c}\{a, b, c\}, Range = {1,4}\{1, 4\} (incorrect range)
  • c. Domain = {a,b,c}\{a, b, c\}, Range = {1,2,3,4}\{1, 2, 3, 4\} (incorrect range)
  • d. Domain = {1,2,3,4}\{1, 2, 3, 4\}, Range = {2,3}\{2, 3\} (incorrect domain)

Conclusion:

The correct answer is Option A: Domain = {a,b,c}\{a, b, c\}, Range = {2,3}\{2, 3\}.

Here are 5 related questions to deepen understanding:

  1. How do you determine the domain and range in a function diagram?
  2. What is the difference between range and codomain in a mapping?
  3. How can we verify if a mapping is a function?
  4. What is an injective (one-to-one) function in the context of mappings?
  5. How would the diagram change if an element in AA was mapped to multiple elements in BB?

Tip: Always check if each element in the domain maps to exactly one element in the range to ensure it’s a valid function.
