Math Problem Statement

solve

Determine whether the relation is a function based on the given domain and range table.

Solution

To determine whether this relation is a function, we need to check if each input (from the domain) maps to exactly one output (in the range).

In the table, we have the following pairs:

  • 727 \rightarrow 2
  • 777 \rightarrow -7
  • 777 \rightarrow 7
  • 050 \rightarrow 5

Notice that the input "7" is associated with multiple outputs (2, -7, 7). This violates the definition of a function, which requires that each input in the domain must map to exactly one output in the range.

Thus, this relation is not a function.

  4. What is the difference between domain and range in a function?
  5. How would this relation change if each domain value mapped to only one range value?

Tip: When checking if a relation is a function, always ensure that no input is mapped to more than one output.
