STEP 1
Assumptions1. A relation is a set of ordered pairs.
. A function is a special type of relation where every element in the domain corresponds to exactly one element in the range.
3. The domain of a function or a relation is the set of all possible x-values (the first elements of the ordered pairs).
4. The range of a function or a relation is the set of all possible y-values (the second elements of the ordered pairs).
STEP 2
First, let's answer the True or False question "Every relation is a function."
This statement is False. Not every relation is a function. A relation is a function only if every element in the domain corresponds to exactly one element in the range.
STEP 3
Now, let's determine whether each relation represents a function and state the domain and range for each.
The first relation is .
To determine if this is a function, we need to check if each x-value (the first element of each ordered pair) corresponds to exactly one y-value (the second element of each ordered pair).
STEP 4
In the relation , each x-value corresponds to exactly one y-value. Therefore, this relation is a function.
The domain of this function is the set of x-values , and the range is the set of y-values .
STEP 5
The next relation is .
Again, we need to check if each x-value corresponds to exactly one y-value.
STEP 6
In the relation , each x-value corresponds to exactly one y-value. Therefore, this relation is also a function.
The domain of this function is the set of x-values , and the range is the set of y-values .
STEP 7
The last relation is .
Again, we need to check if each x-value corresponds to exactly one y-value.
STEP 8
In the relation , the x-value -4 corresponds to two different y-values (4 and0). Therefore, this relation is not a function.
The domain of this relation is the set of x-values , and the range is the set of y-values .
