Do you understand that these are all testing whether you know the basic definitions? Get your textbook and read the definitions of "image", "codomain", "digraph", etc.

In any case, one of the rules you agreed to abide by when you registered for this forum was not to post problems without showing your own serious attempt at the problem and you have shown no attempt at all.
