- Consider the relation “y = 2x + 1” where x is an element in the set of whole numbers. The set of departure is the set of whole numbers, including: {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …}. The set of destination is the set of odd whole numbers, including: {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, …}.
- In the illustration below showing a relation between the set E and the set F, the set F = {1, 2, 4, 8, 16} is the set of destination of the relation. The range of this relation is {2, 4, 8, 16}:
