At the end of this lesson, you should be able to
Explain the term mapping
Find the domain ,codomain and range of a mapping
What is a Mapping?
Given two non empty sets A and B, the rule which assigns an element a∈A (a
belonging to A) a unique element b∈B is called a Mapping.
The mapping ‘f’ from A to B is denoted by
f : A → B.
Note
The set A is called the domain, while the set B is called the co-domain of the
mapping
The range is a collection of the images of the elements of the domain.
Representation of mappings
A mapping can be represented by ;
1. Arrows diagrams
2. Parallel axes
3. Cartesian graphs
How to identify the Domain, codomain
and Range of a Mapping
In the figure 1 below the domain is the set {a,b,c,d} and the codomain is the
set. { e ,f,g ,h ,I}
Note the range is the set { e,f g i} because it represents the collections of the
images of the set A
Properties of a mapping
No element in the domain must have two images in the codomain
Two different elements in the domain can have same image in the codomain
Figure (a) is a Mapping while figure (b) is not a Mapping
Problem on domain, codomain and
range of a mapping
Example 1. Let f: A B be a Mapping defined by f(x) = 2x^2 +3 on the set A = { -1, O,1,2,3}.
1.Find the codomain and range of the mapping
2. Draw an arrow diagram representation for the mapping
Solution
Let. F(x) = 2x^2 +3 …………equation (1)
Considering the domain A={ -1,0,1,2,3}
We are to substitute each number in the domain into equation 1.
When x is -1, f(-1) = 2(-1)^2 +3 = 2+3=5
When x is O, f(0) = 2(0)^2 +3 = 0+3 =3
When x is 1 , f(1) = 2(1)^2 +3 = 2+3 =5
When x is 2, f(2) = 2 (2)^2 +3 = 8+3 =11
When. X is 3, f(3) = 2(3)^2+ 3 = 18 + 3 =21
The codomain will be a collection of the set { 3,5,11,21}
The range is also the set { 3,5,11,21} because it represents all the images of
the domain A
The arrow diagram representation of the mapping is given by
