Math Problem Statement

Plot each of the following relations. Determine if the relation is a function and state the domain and range.

Solution

The worksheet you provided includes tasks for plotting relations and determining if they represent functions, as well as finding their domains and ranges. Here's how we approach each of the given problems:

Problem 10: Relation {(3,8),(5,7),(7,7),(8,9)}\{(3, 8), (5, 7), (7, 7), (8, 9)\}

  1. Is it a function?
    To determine if it's a function, each xx-value should map to exactly one yy-value. Here, no two ordered pairs have the same xx-value with different yy-values. Therefore, this is a function.

  2. Domain: The domain consists of all the xx-values: {3,5,7,8}\{3, 5, 7, 8\}

  3. Range: The range consists of all the yy-values: {8,7,9}\{8, 7, 9\}


Problem 11: Relation {(0,0.4),(1,0.8),(2,1.2),(3,1.6)}\{(0, 0.4), (1, 0.8), (2, 1.2), (3, 1.6)\}

  1. Is it a function?
    Each xx-value corresponds to a unique yy-value, so this is a function.

  2. Domain: The domain consists of all the xx-values: {0,1,2,3}\{0, 1, 2, 3\}

  3. Range: The range consists of all the yy-values: {0.4,0.8,1.2,1.6}\{0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6\}


Problem 12: Relation {(5,4),(3,5),(4,3),(6,4)}\{(5, -4), (3, -5), (4, -3), (6, 4)\}

  1. Is it a function?
    Each xx-value corresponds to a unique yy-value, so this is a function.

  2. Domain: The domain consists of all the xx-values: {3,4,5,6}\{3, 4, 5, 6\}

  3. Range: The range consists of all the yy-values: {5,4,3,4}\{-5, -4, -3, 4\}


Problem 13: Relation {(0.3,0.6),(0.4,0.8),(0.3,0.7),(0.5,0.5)}\{(0.3, 0.6), (0.4, 0.8), (0.3, 0.7), (0.5, 0.5)\}

  1. Is it a function?
    Notice that the xx-value 0.3 corresponds to two different yy-values: 0.6 and 0.7. Therefore, this is not a function.

  2. Domain: The domain consists of all the xx-values: {0.3,0.4,0.5}\{0.3, 0.4, 0.5\}

  3. Range: The range consists of all the yy-values: {0.6,0.7,0.8,0.5}\{0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.5\}


Would you like more details or have any questions? Here are some related questions to extend your understanding:

  1. What is the definition of a function in mathematical terms?
  2. How would you graphically represent each of these relations?
  3. What is the significance of the domain and range for real-world applications?
  4. How can you identify a function just by looking at its graph?
  5. Why is it important for each xx-value to map to only one yy-value in a function?

Tip: When checking if a relation is a function using a graph, the "vertical line test" is a quick way to see if any vertical line intersects the graph at more than one point. If it does, it's not a function.
