Math Problem Statement
Find the domain of the relation. Enter your solution in set notation (eg. {n1, n2, ..., nk}).
Relation: {(-9, -4), (-4, 3), (-6, 3), (-6, -5), (-9, 0)}
Solution
To find the domain of the relation, we look at all the unique x-values in the set of ordered pairs. The domain consists of all the first elements of each pair.
The relation provided is:
Let's list the x-values:
- From , the x-value is .
- From , the x-value is .
- From , the x-value is .
- From , the x-value is (already included).
- From , the x-value is (already included).
The unique x-values are , , and .
So, the domain in set notation is:

Here are some additional questions for further exploration:
- What is the range of this relation?
- How do we find the domain of a relation represented as an equation?
- Can a relation have repeated values in its domain?
- What distinguishes a function from a general relation?
- How would you represent this relation as a graph?
Tip: Always check for repeated values in the domain to avoid redundancy when listing unique x-values in set notation.
