Math Problem Statement

Select the correct domain and range for the function represented by the following arrow diagram.

Solution

Let's analyze the arrow diagram to determine the domain and range.

In an arrow diagram:

  • The domain consists of all the input values (elements from the first set, on the left) that have arrows coming out of them.
  • The range consists of all the output values (elements from the second set, on the right) that receive arrows.

Analysis:

From the diagram:

  • The input values are: 2,3,7-2, 3, 7.
  • The output values are: 2,4,82, 4, 8.

Arrows indicate the following mappings:

  • 2-2 maps to 22 and 88.
  • 33 maps to 44.
  • 77 maps to 88.

Domain:

The domain is {2,3,7}\{-2, 3, 7\}, as these are the values with arrows coming out of them.

Range:

The range is {2,4,8}\{2, 4, 8\}, as these are the values with arrows pointing to them.

Conclusion:

The correct choice is (d), which states:

  • Domain: {2,3,7}\{-2, 3, 7\}
  • Range: {2,4,8}\{2, 4, 8\}

Let me know if you'd like more details or have further questions.

Here are five related questions for you to explore:

  1. How do you determine if a relation is a function from an arrow diagram?
  2. What is the difference between domain and range in mathematical functions?
  3. How can you find the range of a function if only the domain is known?
  4. What is an example of a function where the domain and range are the same set?
  5. Can a single input map to more than one output in a function?

Tip: In a function, each input from the domain must map to exactly one output in the range.
