Solution

Let's go step by step through each part of your problem.

1. Domain and Range of Each Function

There isn't a specific function listed in "1. 2." in your query. If you'd like to provide the equations or graphs, I can help determine the domain and range for each.

3. Is the Relation a Function? Is it One-to-One or Many-to-One?

Relation: {(–4, 7), (–3, 5), (1, 4), (3, –8), (5, –11)}

  • A function requires that each input (x-value) corresponds to exactly one output (y-value). In this case, all the x-values are different, meaning there are no duplicate inputs.
  • Therefore, this relation is a function.
  • One-to-One or Many-to-One: In a one-to-one function, each output (y-value) is associated with only one input (x-value). Since no y-value is repeated in the relation, this is a one-to-one function.

4. Is the Relation a Function? Is it One-to-One or Many-to-One?

Relation: {(–4, 8), (–2, 4), (0, 1), (2, 4), (4, 8)}

  • This is a function because each x-value corresponds to exactly one y-value (no duplicate inputs).
  • However, the y-values are repeated: (–4, 8) and (4, 8) have the same output, as do (–2, 4) and (2, 4).
  • Therefore, this is a function, but it is a many-to-one function because multiple x-values share the same y-value.

5. Relation (table format) Interpretation

It seems like you're presenting a table of inputs and outputs:

xy
-2-3
01
13
34
  • This is a function since each x-value has a unique y-value.
  • All the outputs (y-values) are distinct, so this is a one-to-one function.

6. Graph Interpretation

You're referencing a graph but without the visual, it's difficult to interpret. From the table, the function appears to map x-values like -4, 0, and 4 to corresponding y-values like 4, 8, etc. If you'd like, you can upload a photo of the graph and I can provide detailed insights.

7. Vertical Line Test Explanation

The vertical line test is used to determine whether a relation is a function. If a vertical line intersects a graph more than once, the relation is not a function because this would indicate that a single input (x-value) has multiple outputs (y-values).

  • If a vertical line touches a graph at exactly one point wherever you draw it, the relation is a function.
  • If the line touches the graph more than once, the relation fails the test and is not a function.

8. Fiona's Gas Graph and Domain Constraints

Fiona buys gas at $2.25 per unit. If we assume the graph shows the amount of gas purchased (x-axis) versus the cost (y-axis):

  • The domain represents the amount of gas purchased. The constraints are:
    • She cannot purchase a negative amount of gas, so the domain must be non-negative (x ≥ 0).
    • There may be a maximum limit on the amount of gas she can buy (based on the car's tank size), but that's not specified here.

Would you like to explore more details on any of these points? Here are some related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. How do you find the domain and range of a given function graphically?
  2. What is the difference between one-to-one and many-to-one functions, and why does it matter?
  3. How can we apply the vertical line test to real-world problems?
  4. What are the practical implications of a function being many-to-one?
  5. How can constraints in real-world scenarios (like gas purchases) affect the domain of a function?

Tip: The domain of a function is typically the set of all possible inputs, while the range is the set of all possible outputs. Always pay attention to restrictions on these sets!
