Relation on A Defined by “b is Exactly Divisible by a”

Relation on \(A\) Defined by “\(b\) is Exactly Divisible by \(a\)”

Question

Let \[ A=\{1,2,3,4,5,6\} \]

Let \(R\) be a relation on \(A\) defined by

\[ R=\{(a,b):a,b\in A,\ b \text{ is exactly divisible by } a\} \]

(i) Write \(R\) in roster form

(ii) Find the domain of \(R\)

(iii) Find the range of \(R\)

Solution

(i) Roster Form

\[ R= \{ (1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),(1,5),(1,6), \]

\[ (2,2),(2,4),(2,6), \]

\[ (3,3),(3,6), \]

\[ (4,4), (5,5), (6,6) \} \]


(ii) Domain of \(R\)

Domain = set of first elements

\[ \boxed{ \{1,2,3,4,5,6\} } \]


(iii) Range of \(R\)

Range = set of second elements

\[ \boxed{ \{1,2,3,4,5,6\} } \]
