Question

State the domain and the range of each relation. Then determine whether the relation is a function.


(4,23)
(3,-2)
(-6,5)
(4,6)

Answer 1

Answer:

$Domain:${$-6,3,4$}

$Range:${$-2,5,6,23$}

The relation is not a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, a relation is a function if each input value has only one output value.

Given the relation:

(4,23)

(3,-2)

(-6,5)

(4,6)

The domain is the set of the x-coordinates of each ordered pair (You do not need to write 4 twice):

$Domain:${$-6,3,4$}

The range is the set of the y-coordinates of each ordered pair :

 $Range:${$-2,5,6,23$}

Since the input value 4 has two different output values (23 and 6), the relation is not a function.

Answer 2

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Domain = {-6, 3, 4}.

The Range = {-2, 5, 6, 23}.

The relation is NOT a function because 4 in the domain maps to 6 and 23. In a function an element in the domain must map to one element only in the range.
