Let $X = \{ 1,2,3\}$ and $Y = \{ 4,5\}$.
Find whether the following subsets of $X \times
Y$ are functions from $X$ to $Y$ or not.
(i) $f = \{ (1,4),(1,5),(2,4),(3,5)\}$
(ii) $g = \{ (1,4),(2,4),(3,4)\}$
(iii) $h = \{ (1,4),(2,5),(3,5)\}$
(iv) $k = \{ (1,4),(2,5)\}$

Official Solution
It is given that,, $X = \{ 1,2,3\}$ and $Y = \{ 4,5\}$
$X \times Y = \{ (1,4),(1,5),(2,4),(2,5),(3,4),(3,5)\}$
(i) $f = \{ (1,4),(1,5),(2,4),(3,5)\}$
$f$ is not a function because $f$ has not unique image.
(ii) $g = \{ (1,4),(2,4),(3,4)\}$
Since, $g$ is a function as each element of the
domain has unique image.
(iii) $h = \{ (1,4),(2,5),(3,5)\}$
It is clear that $h$ is a function.
(iv) $k = \{ (1,4),(2,5)\}$
$k$ is not a function as 3 has not any image under the mapping.
