Math Problem Statement

Find the domain and range of the relation: {(7, −6), (6, −6), (5, −6), (4, −6)}. Then determine whether the relation is a function.

Solution

Let's solve this step by step.

Problem Details:

The relation provided is a set of ordered pairs:
{(7,6),(6,6),(5,6),(4,6)}.\{(7, -6), (6, -6), (5, -6), (4, -6)\}.

  1. Domain: The domain is the set of all x-values (first elements) from the ordered pairs.
    From the relation: Domain={7,6,5,4}.\text{Domain} = \{7, 6, 5, 4\}.

  2. Range: The range is the set of all y-values (second elements) from the ordered pairs.
    From the relation: Range={6}.\text{Range} = \{-6\}.

  3. Is it a function?
    A relation is a function if each x-value (domain element) maps to exactly one y-value.
    Here, each xx-value is paired with the same yy-value (6-6), so the relation is a function.

Final Answers:

  • Domain: {7,6,5,4}\{7, 6, 5, 4\}
  • Range: {6}\{-6\}
  • Is it a function?: Yes

Do you have any questions, or would you like further clarification?

Related Questions:

  1. What is the formal definition of a function in mathematics?
  2. Can a relation where two different xx-values share the same yy-value still be a function?
  3. How would the answer change if the relation included (7,6)(7, -6) and (7,7)(7, -7)?
  4. How do we determine the range if the relation involves complex numbers?
  5. Can a vertical line test be used to determine if a set of ordered pairs represents a function?

Tip:

A quick way to check if a relation is a function is by confirming that no xx-value repeats with different yy-values.
