Math Problem Statement
. Determine whether each set of ordered pairs defines a function. Why or why not? State the domain and range. a) {(-2,0),(0,2),(1,7),(3,6),(1,5)}
Solution
To determine whether a set of ordered pairs defines a function, we need to check if each input (x-value) corresponds to exactly one output (y-value). A function cannot have the same x-value paired with different y-values.
Given the set of ordered pairs: :
- Check for duplicate x-values with different y-values.
- Identify the domain (the set of all x-values).
- Identify the range (the set of all y-values).
Checking if the set is a function:
- The pair has .
- The pair also has .
Since the x-value corresponds to two different y-values (7 and 5), this set does not define a function.
Domain:
The domain is the set of all x-values:
Range:
The range is the set of all y-values:
Summary:
- This set does not define a function because the x-value is paired with two different y-values (7 and 5).
- Domain:
- Range:

Here are 5 numbered questions for you to ask:
- Can you explain more about functions and their properties?
- How do you determine the domain and range of a function?
- What are some examples of sets that do define functions?
- How do you graph a set of ordered pairs to visualize a function?
- Can you explain the vertical line test for functions?
Tip: When identifying whether a set of ordered pairs defines a function, always check for unique x-values first. If any x-value repeats with different y-values, it is not a function.
