Answer» Let be the set of all real numbers. And relation on set S is defined as = {(a, b) ∶ a ≤ b2 }. Since, 1, 2 and 3 are real numbers, therefore, 1, 2 and 3 ∊ S. Now, 1 ≤ 4 = 22 and 1 ≤ 9 = 32. ⇒ 1 ≤ 22 and 1 ≤ 32. ⇒ (1, 2) ∊ R and (1, 3) ∊ R. (By definition of relation ) Therefore, relation R is not function. (Because, in function every element have unique images.) Hence, relation R = {(a,b): a ≤ b2 on set of all real numbers is not a function. |
