1. The problem asks to identify which correspondences between sets are functions and justify why.
2. Recall the definition of a function: each element in the domain (set A) must be associated with exactly one element in the codomain (set B).
3. Analyze Graph 1:
- Set A = {1, 2}, Set B = {3, 4}
- Arrows: 1 \to 3, 2 \to 4
- Each element in A maps to exactly one element in B.
- Therefore, Graph 1 represents a function.
4. Analyze Graph 2:
- Set A = {1, 2}, Set B = {3}
- Arrows: 1 \to 3, 2 \to 3
- Each element in A maps to exactly one element in B.
- Therefore, Graph 2 represents a function.
5. Analyze Graph 3:
- Set A = {2}, Set B = {3, 4}
- Arrows: 2 \to 3, 2 \to 4
- Element 2 in A maps to two different elements in B.
- This violates the definition of a function.
- Therefore, Graph 3 does not represent a function.
Final answer:
- Graph 1 and Graph 2 correspondences are functions.
- Graph 3 correspondence is not a function.
