(d) (k: z 	o r; f(x) = 1 - x^2)

Accepted Answer

Let's tackle question 7: "Which of the following mappings defines a function?" We need to recall the definition of a function: a relation where each input (from the domain) has exactly one output (in the codomain). Let's analyze each option:

### Option A: $ f: N \to N; f(x) = x^2 $
- Domain $ N $ (natural numbers: $ 1, 2, 3, \dots $) or sometimes $ 0,1,2,\dots $, but regardless, for any natural number $ x $, $ x^2 $ is a natural number (since square of natural is natural). Also, each $ x $ in $ N $ gives exactly one $ x^2 $. So this is a function.

### Option B: $ f: N \to Z^+; f(x) = \log_3^x $ (I think it's $ \log_3 x $)
- Natural numbers $ N $: Let's test $ x=1 $: $ \log_3 1 = 0 $, but codomain is $ Z^+ $ (positive integers). $ 0 $ is not in $ Z^+ $, so $ x=1 $ has no output in codomain. Also, for $ x=3 $, $ \log_3 3 = 1 $ (in $ Z^+ $), $ x=9 $, $ \log_3 9 = 2 $, etc. But $ x=2 $: $ \log_3 2 $ is not an integer, so it's not in $ Z^+ $. So many inputs don't map to codomain, and even when they do, some (like $ x=2 $) don't. So not a function (or not a function from $ N $ to $ Z^+ $).

### Option C: $ h: N \to Z; f(x) = \frac{1}{3}x + 2 $
- Domain $ N $ (natural numbers). Let's check if for each $ x \in N $, $ \frac{1}{3}x + 2 $ is an integer? Take $ x=1 $: $ \frac{1}{3} + 2 = \frac{7}{3} $, not integer. $ x=2 $: $ \frac{2}{3} + 2 = \frac{8}{3} $, not integer. $ x=3 $: $ 1 + 2 = 3 $ (integer). So most inputs don't map to $ Z $ (integers) as output? Wait, codomain is $ Z $, but the output must be in $ Z $. Since for $ x=1,2 $, output is not integer, this mapping is not a function (or not a valid function from $ N $ to $ Z $).

### Option D: $ k: Z \to R; f(x) = 1 - x^2 $
- Domain $ Z $ (integers), codomain $ R $ (real numbers). For any integer $ x $, $ 1 - x^2 $ is a real number (since square of integer is integer, 1 minus integer is integer, which is real). Also, each integer $ x $ gives exactly one real number $ 1 - x^2 $. Wait, but let's check the mapping. Wait, the option is $ k: Z \to R; f(x) = 1 - x^2 $. Wait, but let's check if it's a function. Wait, but let's re-examine the options. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the original options:

Wait, the options are:

(A) $ f: N \to N; f(x) = x^2 $

(B) $ f: N \to Z^+; f(x) = \log_3^x $ (probably $ \log_3 x $)

(C) $ h: N \to Z; f(x) = \frac{1}{3}x + 2 $

(D) $ k: Z \to R; f(x) = 1 - x^2 $

Wait, but let's check the definition of a function: each input has exactly one output. Let's check each:

- (A): For $ x \in N $, $ x^2 \in N $ (if $ N $ starts at 1, $ 1^2=1 $, $ 2^2=4 $, etc. If $ N $ includes 0, $ 0^2=0 \in N $ if $ N $ is non-negative integers). So each $ x $ has one $ x^2 $. So function.

- (B): $ \log_3 x $ for $ x \in N $. $ x=1 $: $ \log_3 1 = 0 $, but codomain is $ Z^+ $ (positive integers), so 0 is not in $ Z^+ $. So $ x=1 $ has no output in codomain. Not a function.

- (C): $ \frac{1}{3}x + 2 $ for $ x \in N $. $ x=1 $: $ 1/3 + 2 = 7/3
otin Z $. $ x=2 $: $ 2/3 + 2 = 8/3
otin Z $. So output not in codomain $ Z $ for some $ x $. Not a function.

- (D): $ 1 - x^2 $ for $ x \in Z $. $ x $ is integer, $ x^2 $ is integer, $ 1 - x^2 $ is integer (hence real). So each $ x \in Z $ has one output in $ R $. But wait, is this a function? Wait, but let's check if the mapping is well-defined. Wait, but the problem is which mapping defines a function. Wait, but maybe (A) is correct. Wait, let's confirm:

In (A), $ f: N \to N $, $ f(x) = x^2 $. If $ N $ is the set of natural numbers (positive integers: 1,2,3,...), then $ x^2 $ is also a positive integer, so codomain $ N $ is correct. Each $ x $ has exactly one $ x^2 $, so it's a function.

In (D), $ k: Z \to R $, $ f(x) = 1 - x^2 $. $ Z $ is integers, $ R $ is reals. For any integer $ x $, $ 1 - x^2 $ is a real number, and each $ x $ has exactly one output. So this is also a function. Wait, but maybe the question has a typo, or I misinterpret the options. Wait, let's check the original problem again.

Wait, the options:

(A) $ f: N \to N; f(x) = x^2 $

(B) $ f: N \to Z^+; f(x) = \log_3^x $ (maybe $ \log_3 x $)

(C) $ h: N \to Z; f(x) = \frac{1}{3}x + 2 $

(D) $ k: Z \to R; f(x) = 1 - x^2 $

Wait, maybe the intended answer is (A). Let's see:

For (A): Domain $ N $, codomain $ N $. For each $ x \in N $, $ x^2 \in N $ (if $ N $ is positive integers, $ 1^2=1 $, $ 2^2=4 $, etc.). Each $ x $ has exactly one $ x^2 $, so it's a function.

For (D): Domain $ Z $, codomain $ R $. For each $ x \in Z $, $ 1 - x^2 \in R $, and each $ x $ has exactly one output. So this is also a function. But maybe the question considers $ N $ as positive integers, and (D) has a codomain $ R $, but maybe the problem is in the mapping. Wait, maybe the answer is (A). Let's confirm with the definition of a function: a relation where each input has exactly one output. In (A), every natural number $ x $ maps to exactly one natural number $ x^2 $. In (D), every integer $ x $ maps to exactly one real number $ 1 - x^2 $. But maybe the question has a mistake, or I misread. Wait, let's check the options again.

Wait, option (B): $ f: N \to Z^+; f(x) = \log_3^x $. $ \log_3 x $ for $ x=1 $ is 0, which is not in $ Z^+ $ (positive integers), so it's not a function (since $ x=1 $ has no image in codomain).

Option (C): $ h: N \to Z; f(x) = \frac{1}{3}x + 2 $. For $ x=1 $, output is $ 7/3 $, not integer, so not in codomain $ Z $, so not a function.

So between (A) and (D). Wait, maybe the question considers $ N $ as non-negative integers (including 0). Then in (A), $ f(0) = 0^2 = 0 \in N $ (if $ N $ is non-negative). In (D), $ k: Z \to R $, $ f(x) = 1 - x^2 $. Both are functions. But maybe the intended answer is (A). Let's check standard function examples. $ f(x) = x^2 $ from $ N $ to $ N $ is a classic function. So the answer is (A).

# Brief Explanations:
To determine which mapping defines a function, we use the definition of a function: each input (from the domain) has exactly one output (in the codomain).

- **Option A**: $ f: N \to N; f(x) = x^2 $
  For any natural number $ x $, $ x^2 $ is also a natural number (e.g., $ 1^2 = 1 $, $ 2^2 = 4 $, etc.). Each $ x \in N $ maps to exactly one $ x^2 \in N $, so this is a function.

- **Option B**: $ f: N \to Z^+; f(x) = \log_3 x $
  For $ x = 1 $, $ \log_3 1 = 0 $, which is not in $ Z^+ $ (positive integers). Thus, $ x = 1 $ has no valid output in the codomain, so this is not a function.

- **Option C**: $ h: N \to Z; f(x) = \frac{1}{3}x + 2 $
  For $ x = 1 $ or $ x = 2 $, $ \frac{1}{3}x + 2 $ is not an integer (e.g., $ x = 1 $ gives $ \frac{7}{3} $), so outputs do not lie in the codomain $ Z $ (integers) for all $ x \in N $. Not a function.

- **Option D**: $ k: Z \to R; f(x) = 1 - x^2 $
  While this is technically a function (each integer $ x $ maps to one real number $ 1 - x^2 $), the problem likely intends (A) as the answer, as $ f(x) = x^2 $ from $ N $ to $ N $ is a more straightforward example of a function.
