Math Problem Statement

Find the domain and range of the relation R = {(1,12), (-1,29), (21,-25), (6,0)}.

Solution

The given relation RR is a set of ordered pairs:

R={(1,12),(1,29),(21,25),(6,0)}R = \{(1, 12), (-1, 29), (21, -25), (6, 0)\}

Domain:

The domain of a relation is the set of all possible first elements (x-values) of the ordered pairs. From the relation RR, the domain consists of:

{1,1,21,6}\{1, -1, 21, 6\}

Range:

The range of a relation is the set of all possible second elements (y-values) of the ordered pairs. From the relation RR, the range consists of:

{12,29,25,0}\{12, 29, -25, 0\}

Final Answer:

  • Domain: {1,1,21,6}\{1, -1, 21, 6\}
  • Range: {12,29,25,0}\{12, 29, -25, 0\}

Here are some related questions:

  1. What is the difference between a function and a relation?
  2. How can you tell if a relation is a function by looking at its domain and range?
  3. How would you represent this relation graphically on a coordinate plane?
  4. Can a relation have the same element in the domain repeated with different outputs in the range?
  5. How does the concept of domain and range apply to continuous functions?

Tip: When analyzing the domain and range, always focus on extracting values of xx for the domain and values of yy for the range, regardless of the order or repetition.
