Question 11 of 35beginner🔧 ApplyShort Answer3 marks

Let A={1,2,3,…,14}A = \{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 14\}. Define a relation RR from AA to AA by R={(x,y):3x−y=0,where x,y∈A}R = \{(x, y): 3x - y = 0, \text{where } x, y \in A\}. Write down its domain, codomain and range.

Correct Answer

Given the relation R={(x,y):3x−y=0}R = \{(x, y): 3x - y = 0\}, we can rewrite the condition as y=3xy = 3x. We need to find ordered pairs (x,y)(x, y) such that both xx and yy belong to set A={1,2,3,…,14}A = \{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 14\}.

By checking values for xx in AA:

  • If x=1,y=3∈A  ⟹  (1,3)x=1, y=3 \in A \implies (1, 3)
  • If x=2,y=6∈A  ⟹  (2,6)x=2, y=6 \in A \implies (2, 6)
  • If x=3,y=9∈A  ⟹  (3,9)x=3, y=9 \in A \implies (3, 9)
  • If x=4,y=12∈A  ⟹  (4,12)x=4, y=12 \in A \implies (4, 12)
  • If x=5,y=15∉Ax=5, y=15 \notin A (since AA ends at 14).

Thus, R={(1,3),(2,6),(3,9),(4,12)}R = \{(1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9), (4, 12)\}.

The Domain of RR is the set of first elements of the ordered pairs, which is {1,2,3,4}\{1, 2, 3, 4\}.

The Range of RR is the set of second elements of the ordered pairs, which is {3,6,9,12}\{3, 6, 9, 12\}.

Since the relation is defined from AA to AA, the Codomain is set AA itself, which is {1,2,3,…,14}\{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 14\}.

Explanation

The solution follows the methodology demonstrated in Example 7 and Example 8 of the provided context. First, the relation is expressed in roster form by identifying values of xx for which y=3xy=3x remains within the set AA. The domain and range are then derived from the first and second elements of these ordered pairs, respectively, while the codomain is the entire set AA as defined by the relation 'from AA to AA'.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Rewrite the relation equation as y=3xy = 3x.

  2. Step 2: Substitute values of xx from set AA to find corresponding yy values that also exist in AA.

  3. Step 3: List the valid ordered pairs: R={(1,3),(2,6),(3,9),(4,12)}R = \{(1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9), (4, 12)\}.

  4. Step 4: Identify the Domain as the set of first elements: {1,2,3,4}\{1, 2, 3, 4\}.

  5. Step 5: Identify the Range as the set of second elements: {3,6,9,12}\{3, 6, 9, 12\}.

  6. Step 6: Identify the Codomain as the set A={1,2,3,…,14}A = \{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 14\}.
