Step-by-step explanation: A relation is said to be a function if each and every element of the domain has a distinct value. value in the range.
It is given that Domain of a relation is a set of all whole numbers between 2.5 and 7.5, and the range contains 6 different values.
Now, whole numbers between 2.5 and 7.5 are:
There are 4 numbers in the domain and 6 numbers in the range.
That is the elements in domain are less than the elements in the range.
Therefore, this relation is not a function as the domain has fewer values than the range, so there must be a domain value which maps to more than one range value.
