Let N be the set of natural numbers and the relation R be defined onN such that R = {(x, y) : y = 2x, x, y ∈ N}.What is the domain, codomain and range of R? Is this relation a function?

Let N be the set of natural numbers and the relation R be defined on
N such that R = {(x, y) : y = 2x, x, y ∈ N}.
The set of all inputs for a function is called domain and the set of allowable outputs is called codomain of a relation.
Therefore, domain of given relation is set of natural numbers and codomain of given relation is set of natural numbers.
Also, range of a relation is set of all values that f takes.
Now, if x is any natural number, then y=2x is an even natural number.
Therefore, Range of R is set of all even natural numbers.
Also, image of every element of domain set under R is defined and is unique, therefore, given relation is a function.
