1. Problem Description

The problem asks to find the number of functions from set A to set B, and from set B to set A, given the cardinality (number of elements) of each set. We are given A=4|A| = 4 and B=5|B| = 5.

2. Solution Steps

i) The number of functions from A to B is given by the formula:
BA|B|^{|A|}
Substituting the given values, we get:
54=5×5×5×5=6255^4 = 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 = 625
ii) The number of functions from B to A is given by the formula:
AB|A|^{|B|}
Substituting the given values, we get:
45=4×4×4×4×4=10244^5 = 4 \times 4 \times 4 \times 4 \times 4 = 1024

3. Final Answer

i) The number of functions from A to B is
6
2

5. ii) The number of functions from B to A is 1024.
