Math Problem Statement

{(2, 6), (3, 8), (3, -2), (4, 7), (3, 1)}

Select the correct DOMAIN.

Select the correct RANGE.

Decide whether this is a function.

You should select 3 answers from the options below

Solution

To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step:

1. Domain

The domain refers to the set of all input values or x-values of the given points. Looking at the set of points:
(2,6),(3,8),(3,2),(4,7),(3,1)(2, 6), (3, 8), (3, -2), (4, 7), (3, 1) The x-values (input values) are:
{2,3,3,4,3}\{2, 3, 3, 4, 3\} The unique values in the domain are:
{2,3,4}\{2, 3, 4\}

2. Range

The range refers to the set of all output values or y-values. Looking at the points:
(2,6),(3,8),(3,2),(4,7),(3,1)(2, 6), (3, 8), (3, -2), (4, 7), (3, 1) The y-values (output values) are:
{6,8,2,7,1}\{6, 8, -2, 7, 1\} Thus, the range is:
{6,8,2,7,1}\{6, 8, -2, 7, 1\}

3. Is this a function?

A relation is a function if every input (x-value) has exactly one output (y-value).
Looking at the x-values, we see that x=3x = 3 appears multiple times with different y-values:
(3,8),(3,2),(3,1)(3, 8), (3, -2), (3, 1) Since the input x=3x = 3 corresponds to multiple outputs (8, -2, 1), this is not a function.

Correct Answers:

  • Domain: {2,3,4}\{2, 3, 4\}
  • Range: {6,8,2,7,1}\{6, 8, -2, 7, 1\}
  • Is this a function? No, it is not a function.
