    g = {(1,2), (3, 4), (5,6), (7,8) }.

    f*g means replace the second number in each pair by f of that number. For instance in (1,2) you replace 2 by what f maps 2 to, which is a, since f contains the rule (2, a).

    So the first pair in f*g is (1, a).

    The second is (3, f(4))

    And so on.

    b) Does every element of C occur in f?

    c) Does every element of A occur in g?
