Codomain

The codomain is the set within which all outputs of a function are declared to lie, before we check which values are actually reached. It is stated when the function is defined, and the range is always a subset of it.

Codomain and range need not be equal.

Where it appears in Add Math

You meet Codomain in the Functions chapter of SPM Additional Mathematics. Knowing the term precisely matters in the exam: questions often hinge on reading a keyword correctly, and because SPM marking is analytic, using the right definition in your working helps secure method marks.

Our teachers make sure a student can not only recite what Codomain means but use it fluently in a full solution.

The term in three languages

Because the SPM Add Math paper is bilingual (BM/EN), it helps to know this term in each language: Codomain (EN) · Kodomain (BM) · 上域 (中文)
