Exercise 2.1
Question 1.

If , find the values of x and y.


Answer:

Given:

Since the ordered pairs are equal, the corresponding elements are equal.


Therefore,





Hence by solving we get, x = 2 and y = 1.


Question 2.

If the set A has 3 elements and the set B = {3, 4, 5}, then find the number of elements in (A×B).


Answer:

Given: Set A has 3 elements and the set B = {3, 4, 5}

As we see the number of elements in set B = 3.


Number of elements in (A× B) = (Number of elements in set A) × (Number of elements in B)


⇒ n(A × B) = n(A) × n(B)


⇒ n(A × B) = 3 × 3


⇒ n(A × B) = 9


Hence, the number of elements in (A×B) = 9.


Question 3.

If G = {7, 8} and H = {5, 4, 2}, find G × H and H × G.


Answer:

Given: G = {7, 8} and H = {5, 4, 2}

By definition of Cartesian product of two non-empty Set P and Q:


P × Q = {(p, q): p Є P, q Є Q}


Therefore, G × H = {(7,5), (7,4), (7,2), (8,5), (8,4), (8,2)}.


And H × G = {(5,7), (5,8), (4,7), (4,8), (2,7), (2,8)}.



Question 4.

State whether each of the following statements are true or false. If the statement is false, rewrite the given statement correctly.

(i) If P = {m, n} and Q = {n, m}, then P × Q = {(m, n), (n, m)}.

(ii) If A and B are non-empty sets, then A × B is a non-empty set of ordered pairs (x, y) such that x ∈ A and y ∈ B.

(iii) If A = {1, 2}, B = {3, 4}, then A × (B ∩ ϕ) = ϕ.


Answer:

(i) Given: P = {m, n} and Q = {n, m}

By definition of Cartesian product of two non-empty Set P and Q:


P × Q = {(p, q): p Є P, q Є Q}


Therefore, P × Q = {(m, n), (m, m), (n, m), (n, n)}.


⇒ P × Q ≠ {(m, n), (n, m)}.


Hence, the statement is false.


(ii) Given: A and B are non-empty sets and x Є A and y Є B.


By definition of Cartesian product of two non-empty Set P and Q:


P × Q = {(p, q): p Є P, q Є Q}


A × B = {(x, y): x Є A, y Є B}


Hence, the statement is true.


(iii) Given: A = {1, 2}, B = {3, 4}


To Prove:


As


By definition if either of the two set P and Q is null set then P × Q will also be a null set. i.e. P × Q = ϕ.


.


Hence, the statement is true.



Question 5.

If A = {–1, 1}, find A × A × A.


Answer:

Given: A = {–1, 1}
cartesian product of a two sets A and B is given by set of multiplication of every member of the set with every other member of the set. Thus pairs of members of set are formed.
For given A,
A × A = {-1, 1} × {-1, 1}

A × A = {(-1, -1), (-1, 1), (1, -1), (1, 1)}
Now,

By definition A × A × A = {(a,b,c) : a,b,c Є A}.


⇒ A × A × A = {(-1, -1, -1), (-1, -1, 1), (-1, 1, -1), (1, -1, -1), (-1, 1, 1), (1, -1, 1), (1, 1, -1), (1, 1, 1)}


Question 6.

If A × B = {(a, x), (a, y), (b, x), (b, y)}. Find A and B.


Answer:

Given: A × B = {(a, x), (a, y), (b, x), (b, y)}

By definition of Cartesian product of two non-empty Set P and Q:


P × Q = {(p, q): p Є P, q Є Q}


Hence, we see A = set of all first elements.


B = set of all second elements.


⇒ A = {a,b} and B = {x,y}.



Question 7.

Let A = {1, 2}, B = {1, 2, 3, 4}, C = {5, 6} and D = {5, 6, 7, 8}. Verify that
(i) A × (B ∩ C) = (A × B) ∩ (A × C).

(ii) A × C is a subset of B × D.


Answer:

(i) Given: A = {1, 2}, B = {1, 2, 3, 4}, C = {5, 6} and D = {5, 6, 7, 8}

To verify: A × (B ∩ C) = (A × B) ∩ (A × C)


As we see,


By definition if either of the two set P and Q is null set then P × Q will also be a null set. i.e. P × Q = ϕ .



Now, (A × B) = {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4)}


And (A × C) = {(1,5), (1,6), (2,5), (2,6)}



From (1) and (2)



(ii) Given: A = {1, 2}, B = {1, 2, 3, 4}, C = {5, 6} and D = {5, 6, 7, 8}


To verify: A × C is a subset of B × D.


(A × C) = {(1,5), (1,6), (2,5), (2,6)}


(B × D) = {(1,5), (1,6), (1,7), (1,8), (2,5), (2,6), (2,7), (2,8), (3,5), (3,6), (3,7), (3,8), (4,5), (4,6), (4,7), (4,8)}


As we see all the elements of set A × B are there in set B × D.


Hence, A × C is a subset of B × D.



Question 8.

Let A = {1, 2} and B = {3, 4}. Write A × B. How many subsets will A × B have? List them.


Answer:

Given: A = {1, 2} and B = {3, 4}

(A × B) = {(1,3), (1,4), (2,3), (2,4)}

Number of elements in (A × B) = 4

⇒ n(A × B) = 4

Then number of subsets of set (A × B) = 2n = 24 = 16

⇒ number of subsets of set (A × B) = 16

These are:

{ϕ}, {(1,3)}, {(1,4)}, {(2,3)}, {(2,4)}, {(1,3),(1,4)}, {(1,3),(2,3)}, {(1,3),(2,4)}, {(1,4),(2,3)}, {(1,4),(2,4)}, {(2,3),(2,4)}, {(1,3),(1,4),(2,3)}, {(1,3),(1,4),(2,4)}, {(1,4),(2,3),(2,4)}, {(1,3),(2,3), (2,4)}, {(1,3),(1,4),(2,3),(2,4)}.


Question 9.

Let A and B be two sets such that n(A) = 3 and n(B) = 2. If (x, 1), (y, 2), (z, 1) are in A × B, find A and B, where x, y and z are distinct elements.


Answer:

Given: n(A) = 3 and n(B) = 2 and If (x, 1), (y, 2), (z, 1) are in A × B.

By definition of Cartesian product of two non-empty Set P and Q:


P × Q = {(p, q): p Є P, q Є Q}

It means graphically as,

Hence, we see P = set of all first elements.


Q = set of all second elements.


⇒ (x, y, z) are elements of A and (1,2) are elements of B.


⇒ As n(A) = 3 and n(B) = 2 so, A = {x, y, z} and B = {1, 2}.


Question 10.

The Cartesian product A × A has 9 elements among which are found (–1, 0) and (0,1). Find the set A and the remaining elements of A × A.


Answer:

Given: Cartesian product A × A having 9 elements among which are found (–1, 0) and (0,1).

Number of elements in (A× B) = (Number of elements in set A) × (Number of elements in B)


⇒ n(A × A) = n(A) × n(A)


⇒ n(A × A) = 9 (given)


⇒ n(A) × n(A) = 9


⇒ n(A) = 3


By definition A × A = {(a, a): a Є A}.


Therefore, -1, 0 and 1 are the elements of set A.


Because, n(A) = 3 therefore, A = {-1, 0, 1}.


Hence the remaining elements of set (A × A) are:


(-1,-1), (-1,1), (0,0), (0, -1), (1,1), (1, -1) and (1, 0).




Exercise 2.2
Question 1.

Let A = {1, 2, 3, ..., 14}. Define a relation R from A to A by R = {(x, y) : 3x – y = 0, where x, y ∈ A}. Write down its domain, codomain and range.


Answer:

Given: A = {1, 2, 3, ..., 14} and R = {(x, y) : 3x – y = 0, where x, y ∈ A}

As the relation R from A to A is given as:


R = {(x, y) : 3x – y = 0, where x, y A}


⇒ R = {(x, y) : 3x = y, where x, y A}


Hence the relation in roaster form, R = {(1, 3), (2, 6), (3, 9), (4, 12)}


As Domain of R = set of all first elements of the order pairs in the relation.


⇒ Domain of R = {1, 2, 3, 4}


Co-domain of R = the whole set A


⇒ Co-domain of R = {1, 2, 3, ..., 14}


Range of R = set of all second elements of the order pairs in the relation.


⇒ range of R = {3, 6, 9, 12}.


Question 2.

Define a relation R on the set N of natural numbers by R = {(x, y) : y = x + 5, x is a natural number less than 4; x, y ∈ N}. Depict this relationship using roster form. Write down the domain and the range.


Answer:

Given: R = {(x, y) : y = x + 5, x is a natural number less than 4; x, y ∈ N}.

As x is a natural number which is less than 4.


Hence the relation in roaster form, R = {(1,6), (2,7), (3,8)}


As Domain of R = set of all first elements of the order pairs in the relation.


⇒ Domain of R = {1, 2, 3}


Range of R = set of all second elements of the order pairs in the relation.


⇒ range of R = {6, 7, 8}.



Question 3.

A = {1, 2, 3, 5} and B = {4, 6, 9}. Define a relation R from A to B by R = {(x, y): the difference between x and y is odd; x ∈ A, y ∈ B}. Write R in roster form.


Answer:

Given: A = {1, 2, 3, 5} and B = {4, 6, 9}

R = {(x, y): the difference between x and y is odd; x ∈ A, y ∈ B}

Now the difference should be odd. Let us take all possible differences.

(1 - 4) = - 3, (1 - 6) = - 5, (1 - 9) = - 8
(2 - 4) = - 2, (2 - 6) = - 4, (2 - 9) = - 7
(3 - 4) = - 1, (3 - 6) = - 3, (3 - 9) = - 6
(5 - 4) = 1, (5 - 6) = - 1, (5 - 9) = - 4

Taking the difference which are odd we get,

Hence the relation in roaster form, R = {(1,4), (1,6), (2,9), (3,4), (3,6), (5,4), (5,6)}


Question 4.

The Fig 2.7 shows a relationship between the sets P and Q. Write this relation



(i) in set-builder form (ii) roster form.

What is its domain and range?


Answer:

Given:

As we see in given figure: P = {5,6,7}, Q = {3,4,5}


(i) Hence the relation in set builder form, R = {(x, y): y = x-2; x Є P}


or R = {(x, y): y = x-2; for x = 5, 6, 7}


(ii) And the relation in roaster form, R = {(5,3), (6,4), (7,5)}


As Domain of R = set of all first elements of the order pairs in the relation.


⇒ Domain of R = {5, 6, 7}


Range of R = set of all second elements of the order pairs in the relation.


⇒ range of R = {3, 4, 5}.



Question 5.

Let A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6}. Let R be the relation on A defined by

{(a, b): a, b ∈ A, b is exactly divisible by a}.

(i) Write R in roster form

(ii) Find the domain of R

(iii) Find the range of R.


Answer:

Given: A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6}

R = {(a, b): a, b ∈ A, b is exactly divisible by a}


Hence the relation in roaster form, R = {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,6), (2,2), (2,4), (2,6), (3,3), (3,6), (4,4), (6,6)}


As Domain of R = set of all first elements of the order pairs in the relation.


⇒ Domain of R = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6}


Range of R = set of all second elements of the order pairs in the relation.


⇒ range of R = {1, 2, 3, 4, 6}.



Question 6.

Determine the domain and range of the relation R defined by

R = {(x, x + 5) : x ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}}.


Answer:

Given: R = {(x, x + 5) : x ∈ {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}}

Hence the relation in roaster form, R = {(0,5), (1,6), (2,7), (3,8), (4,9), (5,10)}


As Domain of R = set of all first elements of the order pairs in the relation.


⇒ Domain of R = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}


Range of R = set of all second elements of the order pairs in the relation.


⇒ range of R = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}.



Question 7.

Write the relation R = {(x, x3) : x is a prime number less than 10} in roster form.


Answer:

Given: R = {(x, x3) : x is a prime number less than 10}

As we know the prime number less than 10 are 2, 3, 5 and 7.


Hence the relation in roaster form, R = {(2,8), (3,27), (5,125), (7,343)}


Question 8.

Let A = {x, y, z} and B = {1, 2}. Find the number of relations from A to B.


Answer:

Given: A = {x, y, z} and B = {1, 2}

∴ A × B = {(x,1), (x,2), (y,1), (y,2), (z,1), (z,2)}


⇒ n(A × B) = 6


Then number of subsets of set (A × B) = 2n = 26


⇒ number of relations from A to B = 26.



Question 9.

Let R be the relation on Z defined by R = {(a, b): a, b ∈ Z, a – b is an integer}. Find the domain and range of R.


Answer:

Given: R = {(a, b): a, b ∈ Z, a – b is an integer}

As we know that the difference between any two integers is always an integer.


As Domain of R = set of all first elements of the order pairs in the relation.


⇒ Domain of R = Z


Range of R = set of all second elements of the order pairs in the relation.


⇒ range of R = Z




Exercise 2.3
Question 1.

Which of the following relations are functions? Give reasons. If it is a function, determine its domain and range.

{(2,1), (5,1), (8,1), (11,1), (14,1), (17,1)}


Answer:

Since, 2, 5, 8, 11, 14 and 17 are the elements of domain R having their unique images. Hence, this relation R is a function.

As Domain of R = set of all first elements of the order pairs in the relation.


⇒ Domain of R = {2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17}


Range of R = set of all second elements of the order pairs in the relation.


⇒ range of R = {1}.



Question 2.

Which of the following relations are functions? Give reasons. If it is a function, determine its domain and range.

{(2,1), (4,2), (6,3), (8,4), (10,5), (12,6), (14,7)}


Answer:

Since, 2, 5, 8, 11, 14 and 17 are the elements of domain R having their unique images. Hence, this relation R is a function.

As Domain of R = set of all first elements of the order pairs in the relation.


⇒ Domain of R = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14}


Range of R = set of all second elements of the order pairs in the relation.


⇒ range of R = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}.



Question 3.

Which of the following relations are functions? Give reasons. If it is a function, determine its domain and range.

{(1,3), (1,5), (2,5)}.


Answer:

Since, the same first element 1 corresponds to two different images 3 and 5. Hence, this relation is not a function.



Question 4.

Find the domain and range of the following real functions:

(i) f(x) = -|x|


Answer:

Given: f(x) = –|x|

As we know,



For a function f(x),

Domain: The values that can be put in the function to obtain a real value. For example: f(x) = x, now we can put any value in place of x and we will get a real value. Hence, domain of this function will be Real Numbers.

Range: The values that we obtain of the function after putting the value from domain. For Example: f(x) = x + 1, now if we put x = 0, f(x) = 1. This 1 is a value of Range that we obtained.

Since, f(x) is defined for x Є R, the domain of f is R.


It can be observed that the range of f(x) = -|x| is all real numbers except positive real numbers. Because will will always get a negative number when we put a value from domain.


Thus, the range of function is f(x) is (-∞, 0].


Question 5.

Find the domain and range of the following real functions:



Answer:

Given:

Domain: These are the values of x for which f(x) is defined.

from the given f(x) we can say that, f(x) should be real and for that,

9 - x2 ≥ 0 [Since a value less than 0 will give an imaginary value]

(3 + x)(3 - x) ≥ 0

Now there are two critical points, x = + 3 and x = - 3

Taking a value less than - 3 and putting in the expression we get,

(3 - 5)(3 + 5) = -ve value and thus

Plotting these on number line we get,




Since, f(x) is defined for all real numbers that are greater than or equal to -3 and less than or equal to 3, the domain of f(x) is [-3, 3].

Range: The values of f(x) obtained by putting possible values of.

From the f(x) we can see that, the values obtained will only be positive and can be any positive number less than 3.

Hence, Range of f(x) = [0, 3)

Question 6.

A function f is defined by f (x) = 2x –5. Write down the values of

(i) f (0), (ii) f (7), (iii) f (–3).


Answer:

Given: f (x) = 2x –5

(i) f(0) = 2× 0 – 5


= 0 -5 = -5


(i) f(7) = 2× 7 – 5


= 14 -5 = 9


(i) f(-3) = 2× (-3) – 5


= -6 -5 = -11



Question 7.

The function ‘t’ which maps temperature in degree Celsius into temperature in degree Fahrenheit is defined by

Find (i) t(0) (ii) t(28) (iii) t(–10) (iv) The value of C, when t(C) = 212.


Answer:

Given:

(i) t(0)



⇒ t(0) = 32


(ii) t(28)





(iii) t(-10)



⇒ t(-10) = -18 + 32 = 14


(iv) t(C) = 212







⇒ Value of C, when t(C) is 212 = 100.



Question 8.

Find the range of each of the following functions.

f(x) = 2 – 3x, x ∈ R, x > 0.


Answer:

Given: f (x) = 2 – 3 x, x ∈ R, x > 0

As x > 0


⇒ 3x > 0


⇒ -3x < 0


⇒ -3x + 2 < 0 + 2


⇒ 2 – 3x < 2


⇒ f(x) < 2


Hence, range of f(x) = (-∞, 2).


Question 9.

Find the range of each of the following functions.

f(x) = x2 + 2, x is a real number.


Answer:

Given: f(x) = x2 + 2, x is a real number.

As x2 > 0


⇒ x2 + 2 > 0 + 2


⇒ x2 + 2 > 2


⇒ f(x) > 2


Hence, range of f(x) = [2, ∞).



Question 10.

Find the range of each of the following functions.

f(x) = x, x is a real number.


Answer:

Given: f(x) = x, x is a real number.

It is clear that range of f(x) is set of all real numbers.


Hence, range of f(x) = R.




Miscellaneous Exercise
Question 1.

The relation f is defined by

The relation g is defined by

Show that f is a function and g is not a function.


Answer:

Given:

As


⇒ f(x) = x2 for 0≤x<3


And f(x) = 3xfor 3≤x<10


At x = 3, f(x) = x2 = 32 = 9


Also, at x = 3, f(x) = 3x = 3×3 = 9


Hence, we see for 0≤x≤10, f(x) has unique images. Thus, by definition of a function the given relation is function.


Now,


As


⇒ g(x) = x2 for 0≤x<2


And g(x) = 3xfor 2≤x<10


At x = 2, g(x) = x2 = 22 = 4


Also, at x = 2, g(x) = 3x = 3×2 = 6


Hence, element 2 of the domain of relation g(x) corresponds to two different images i.e. 4 and 6.


because for 0≤x≤10, f(x) does not have unique images. Thus, by definition of a function the given relation is not a function.



Question 2.

If f (x) = x2, find


Answer:

Given: f(x) = x2

Then




Question 3.

Find the domain of the function


Answer:

Given:




Hence, we see f(x) can be defined at all real numbers except at x = 2 and x = 6. Hence the domain of f(x) is (R - {2, 6}).



Question 4.

Find the domain and the range of the real function f defined by .


Answer:

Given: f(x) = √(x - 1)

To Find: Domain and Range of f(x)

Now for real values of f(x), x≥1.

Thus,

√(x - 1) is defined for x≥1.


Hence, the domain of f is the set of all real numbers greater than or equal to 1 i.e., the domain of f = [1, ∞).

Now for Range,

As, x ≥ 1, x - 1 ≥ 0

And thus √x - 1 ≥ 0

Hence, the Range of f is the set of all real numbers greater than or equal to 0 i.e., the Range of f = [0, ∞).


Question 5.

Find the domain and the range of the real function f defined by.


Answer:

Given: f(x) = |x-1|

As we see |x-1| is defined for all real numbers (R).

Hence the domain of f = R.


Also, for x Є R, |x-1| assumes all real numbers.


Hence, the range of f is set of all non-negative real numbers.

Range of f = [0, ∞)

Question 6.

Let be a function from R into R. Determine the range of f.


Answer:

Given:


To Find:

Range of any function is the set of values obtained after mapping is done in domain of the function

So every value of the co domain that are being mapped is Range of the function

For finding the range of any function

Let y = f(x)

and then find the values of y for which x exists.


Now, 1 - y should be greater than zero and y should be greater than and equal to zero for x to exist because other than those values the x will be imaginary


Thus,

1 - y > 0

y < 1

and, y ≥ 0

Hence,

0 ≤ y < 1 will be the range of f(x)

Question 7.

Let f, g : R → R be defined, respectively by f(x) = x + 1, g(x) = 2x – 3. Find f + g, f - g and .


Answer:

Given: f(x) = x + 1, g(x) = 2x – 3.

To find: f + g, f - g,

(f + g)x = f(x) + g(x)


(f + g)x = x + 1 + 2x - 3

⇒ (f + g)x = 3x - 2

And,

(f - g)x = f(x) - g(x)


(f - g)x = (x + 1) - (2x - 3)


⇒ (f - g)x = x +1 - 2x + 3

⇒ (f - g)x = 4 - x

And,







Question 8.

Let f = {(1, 1), (2, 3), (0, –1), (–1, –3)} be a function from Z to Z defined by f(x) = ax + b, for some integers a, b. Determine a, b.


Answer:

Given: f = {(1, 1), (2, 3), (0, –1), (–1, –3)}

f(x) = ax + b


(1,1) Є f ⇒ for x = 1, f(x) = 1


⇒ 1 = a(1) + b


⇒ a+b = 1 …. (1)


Similarly, (0, -1) Є f ⇒ for x = 0, f(x) = -1


⇒ -1 = a(0) + b


⇒ b = -1


⇒ a-1 = 1 (from 1)


⇒ a = 2.


Hence a = 2 and b = -1.



Question 9.

Let R be a relation from N to N defined by R = {(a, b): a, b, ε N and a = b 2}. Are the following true?
(i) (a,a) ε R, for all a ε N

(ii) (a,b) ε R, implies (b,a) ε R

(iii) (a,b) ε R, (b,c) ε R implies (a,c) ε R.

Justify your answer in each case.


Answer:

Given: R = {(a,b): a, b Є N and a = b2}

(i) (a,a) Є R, for all a Є N


As we can see that 3 Є N but 3 ≠ 32 = 9.


Hence, the statement is not true.


(ii) (a,b) Є R, implies (b,a) Є R


As we can see that (4,2) Є N and 4 = 22 = 4 but 2 ≠ 42 = 16 hence, (2,4) does not belong to N.


Hence, the statement is not true.


(iii) (a,b) Є R, (b,c) R implies (a,c) Є R.


As we see, (9, 3) Є R, (16, 4) Є R because 3,4,9,16 Є N and 9 = 32 and 16 = 42.


Now, 9 ≠ 42 = 16; therefore, (9, 4) does not belong to N.


Hence, the statement is not true.



Question 10.

Let A = {1,2,3,4}, B = {1,5,9,11,15,16} and f = {(1,5), (2,9), (3,1), (4,5), (2,11)}

Are the following true?

(i) f is a relation from A to B

(ii) f is a function from A to B.

Justify your answer in each case.


Answer:

Given: A = {1,2,3,4}, B = {1,5,9,11,15,16} and f = {(1,5), (2,9), (3,1), (4,5), (2,11)}

Now, A × B = {(1,1), (1,5), (1,9), (1,11), (1,15), (1,16), (2,1), (2,5), (2,9), (2,11), (2,15), (2,16), (3,1), (3,5), (3,9), (3,11), (3,15), (3,16), (4,1), (4,5), (4,9), (4,11), (4,15), (4,16).


(i) f is a relation from A to B.


f = {(1,5), (2,9), (3,1), (4,5), (2,11)}.


A relation from a non empty set A to a non empty set B is a subset of the Cartesian product A × B.


And we can see f is a subset of A × B.


Hence f is a relation from A to B statement is true.


(ii) f is a function from A to B.


f = {(1,5), (2,9), (3,1), (4,5), (2,11)}.


As we observe that same first element i.e. 2 corresponds to two different images that is 9 and 11. Thus f is not a function from A to B.



Question 11.

Let f be the subset of Z × Z defined by f = {(ab, a + b): a, b Z}. Is f a function from Z to Z? Justify your answer.


Answer:

Given: f = {(ab, a + b): a, b Є Z}

For value 2, 6, -2, -6 Є Z,


f = {(2 × 6, 2 + 6), (-2 × -6, -2 - 6), (2 × -6, 2 - 6), (-2 × 6, -2 + 6).


⇒ f = {(12, 8), (12, -8), (-12, -4), (-12, 4).


Here we observe that same first element i.e. 12 corresponds to two different images that is 8 and -8. Thus f is not a function.



Question 12.

Let A = {9,10,11,12,13} and let f : AN be defined by f(n) = the highest prime factor of n. Find the range of f.


Answer:

Given: A = {9,10,11,12,13}

f : AN be defined by f(n) = the highest prime factor of n.


Prime factor of 9 = 3


Prime factor of 10 = 2,5


Prime factor of 11 = 11


Prime factor of 12 = 2,3


Prime factor of 13 = 13


f(n) = the highest prime factor of n.


Hence,


f(9) = the highest prime factor of 9 = 3


f(10) = the highest prime factor of 10 = 5


f(11) = the highest prime factor of 11 = 11


f(12) = the highest prime factor of 12 = 3


f(13) = the highest prime factor of 13 = 13


As the range of f is the set of all f(n), where n Є A.


Thus, the range of f is: {3, 5, 11, 13}.
