Which of the following is NOT a function from {1,2,3} to {a,b,c}?

Answer: {(1,a),(1,b),(2,c)}.

  • A {(1,a),(2,b),(3,c)}
  • B {(1,a),(2,a),(3,a)}
  • C {(1,a),(1,b),(2,c)}
  • D {(1,c),(2,b),(3,a)}

Correct answer: C. {(1,a),(1,b),(2,c)}

Explanation: A function requires each input to have exactly ONE output. Here 1 maps to both a and b, so it is not a function.

Set Operations: Union, Intersection, ComplementUABA∩BOutside both circles = (A∪B)' = A'∩B' (De Morgan)A∪B = everything in either circle; A∩B = only the overlap

A Venn diagram makes set identities visual: A∪B is everything inside either circle, A∩B is only the overlap, and the region outside both circles represents the complement of their union - directly illustrating De Morgan's law (A∪B)′ = A′∩B′.
