Math Problem Statement

The function f(x) is given by the set of ordered pairs.

{(1,0), (–10,2), (0,6), (3,17), (–2,–1)}

Solution

Given the function f(x)f(x) represented by the set of ordered pairs:

{(1,0),(10,2),(0,6),(3,17),(2,1)}\{(1,0), (-10,2), (0,6), (3,17), (-2,-1)\}

Each ordered pair represents a value of xx and its corresponding output f(x)f(x). Therefore, we can list the function values as follows:

  • f(1)=0f(1) = 0
  • f(10)=2f(-10) = 2
  • f(0)=6f(0) = 6
  • f(3)=17f(3) = 17
  • f(2)=1f(-2) = -1

This simply means the function f(x)f(x) associates each xx-value with the corresponding f(x)f(x)-value in the set. Since it is a set of distinct ordered pairs, f(x)f(x) is a well-defined function, meaning for each xx, there is a unique f(x)f(x).

Would you like further analysis, such as determining if this is an injective or surjective function? Or, perhaps you're looking for how to interpret these values in a graph?

Here are 5 related questions you might explore:

  1. Is the function f(x)f(x) injective (one-to-one)?
  2. Can you determine if the function f(x)f(x) is surjective onto any codomain?
  3. How would you graph these ordered pairs on a coordinate plane?
  4. Can you interpolate the function values between these points?
  5. Is there a potential linear or quadratic function that fits these points?

Tip: When plotting functions based on ordered pairs, always ensure the domain (input xx) has unique values for a well-defined function.
