Solution

The relation f is defined as,

f( x )={ x 2 ,0x3 3x,3x10

It is observed that for

0x3,f( x )= x 2 3x10,f( x )=3x

For x=3 ,

f( x )= 3 2 =9

Or,

f( x )=3×3 =9

Therefore, for 0x10 , the images of f( x ) are unique.

Hence, the given relation is a function.

g( x )={ x 2 ,0x2 3x,2x10

It is observed that for x=2 ,

g( x )= x 2 = 2 2 =4

And,

g( x )=3x =3×2 6

Hence, the element 2 of the domain of the relation g corresponds to two different images that are 4 and 6 . Hence, this relation is not a function.
