3. The diagram shows the relation between set A and set B. State
(a) the domain of the relation
(b) the codomain of the relation,
(c) the range of the relation.

P = {1, 2, 3}
Q = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}

4. Based on the information above, set P is related to set Q and can be defined by set of order paired
{(1, 2), (1, 4), (2, 6), (2, 8)}.
State
(a) the image of 1,
(b) the object of 2.
