Q10 of 68 Page 27

Is the given relation a function? Give reasons for your answer.

h = {(4, 6), (3, 9), (– 11, 6), (3, 11)}

Given: h = {(4, 6), (3, 9), (– 11, 6), (3, 11)}


To find: whether the given relation is a function with proper reason


Explanation: the given relation is h = {(4, 6), (3, 9), (– 11, 6), (3, 11)}


Here it can be seen that element 3 has two images, i.e., 9 and 11.


And a relation is said to be function if every element of one set has one and only one image in other set.


So, h is not a function
