a) Write ordered pairs.
b) Write the domain and range.
c) Why isn't the relation a function?
d) Which ordered pair should be removed to make the relation a function?

Answer 1

in a relationship that maps elements from one set (the inputs) into elements from another set (the outputs), the usual notation for the ordered pairs is:

(x, y), where x is the input and y is the output.

In this case, the point where the arrow starts is the input, and where the arrow ends is the output.

a)

The ordered pairs are:

(28, 93)

(17, 126)

(52, 187)

(34, 108)

(34, 187)

b) The domain is the set of the inputs, in this case the domain is the set where all the arrows start, then the domain is:

{17, 28, 34, 52}

And the range is the set of the outputs, in this case the range is:

{93, 108, 126, 187}

c) A function is a relationship where the elements from the domain, the inputs, can be mapped into only one element from the range.

In this case, we can see that the input {34} is being mapped into two different outputs, then this is not a function.

d) We can remove one of the two ordered pairs where the input is {34},

So for example, we could remove:

(34, 108)

And then the relation would be a function.
