Math Problem Statement

What is the domain of the relation {(1, 3), (3, 2), (1, 4), (4, 5), (5, 2)}? * {5, 1, 3, 4} {4, 2, 1, 3, 5} {2, 4, 5, 3} {1, 5, 1, 4, 3}

Solution

The domain of a relation consists of all the first elements (or x-values) from each ordered pair in the set. Given the relation {(1,3),(3,2),(1,4),(4,5),(5,2)}\{(1, 3), (3, 2), (1, 4), (4, 5), (5, 2)\}, let's identify the first elements of each pair:

  • (1,3)(1, 3) → 1
  • (3,2)(3, 2) → 3
  • (1,4)(1, 4) → 1
  • (4,5)(4, 5) → 4
  • (5,2)(5, 2) → 5

Now, collecting all these first elements, we have the set {1,3,1,4,5}\{1, 3, 1, 4, 5\}.

Since sets do not contain duplicate elements, we simplify this to {1,3,4,5}\{1, 3, 4, 5\}.

So, the correct answer is: {1,3,4,5}\{1, 3, 4, 5\}, which matches the option {1,5,1,4,3}\{1, 5, 1, 4, 3\} after reordering.

Would you like more details or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. What is the range of the relation {(1,3),(3,2),(1,4),(4,5),(5,2)}\{(1, 3), (3, 2), (1, 4), (4, 5), (5, 2)\}?
  2. How do you determine if a relation is a function?
  3. What is the difference between a domain and a range?
  4. Can a relation have repeated elements in its domain?
  5. How do you represent a relation on a graph?

Tip: When analyzing relations, always check if there are duplicate elements in the domain or range, as this can help in determining if the relation is a function.
