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: {(9,4),(4,3),(6,3),(6,5),(9,0)}\{(-9, -4), (-4, 3), (-6, 3), (-6, -5), (-9, 0)\}

Let's list the x-values:

  • From (9,4)(-9, -4), the x-value is 9-9.
  • From (4,3)(-4, 3), the x-value is 4-4.
  • From (6,3)(-6, 3), the x-value is 6-6.
  • From (6,5)(-6, -5), the x-value is 6-6 (already included).
  • From (9,0)(-9, 0), the x-value is 9-9 (already included).

The unique x-values are 9-9, 4-4, and 6-6.

So, the domain in set notation is: {9,4,6}\{-9, -4, -6\}

Would you like further details or have any questions?

Here are some additional questions for further exploration:

  1. What is the range of this relation?
  2. How do we find the domain of a relation represented as an equation?
  3. Can a relation have repeated values in its domain?
  4. What distinguishes a function from a general relation?
  5. 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.
