Relation on \(A\) Defined by \(3x-y=0\)
Question
Let \[ A=\{1,2,3,\ldots,14\} \]
Define a relation on \(A\) by
\[ R=\{(x,y):3x-y=0,\ x,y\in A\} \]
Depict this relation using an arrow diagram. Write its domain, co-domain and range.
Solution
Given,
\[ 3x-y=0 \]
\[ y=3x \]
Possible ordered pairs in \(A\):
\[ (1,3),(2,6),(3,9),(4,12) \]
Therefore,
\[ R=\{(1,3),(2,6),(3,9),(4,12)\} \]
Arrow Diagram
1 → 3
2 → 6
3 → 9
4 → 12
2 → 6
3 → 9
4 → 12
Domain:
\[ \boxed{ \{1,2,3,4\} } \]
Co-domain:
\[ \boxed{ \{1,2,3,\ldots,14\} } \]
Range:
\[ \boxed{ \{3,6,9,12\} } \]
