ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

Given that there are two set  and  having number of elements  and , respectively.

(a)

For a function to exist from  to , each and every element of set  must be related to exactly one element in . Each such combination will give birth to a separate function.

Therefore, the total number of possible functions from  to  will be equal to the number of all possible distinct combinations of  elements of set  and  elements of set .
