Answer:

{-3,0}

Explanation:

The domain of a function or relation is the set of all possible independent values the relation can take. It is the collection of all possible inputs.

When it comes to sets of ordered pairs, we simply need to split the pairs apart into x-coordinates and y-coordinates. Because the x-coordinates are the independent values, they make up the domain. The y-coordinates are the dependent values, which means that they are the range. Let’s try it.

In the set of ordered pairs{−3, −1, 1, 2, 4} {−3, −1, 1, 2, 3} {0, 1, 3, 4, 5} {0, 1, 4}, the domain is the set of the first number in every pair (those are the x-coordinates): {-3, 0}.

The range is the set of the second number of all the pairs (those are the y-coordinates): {-1, 1}.
