Answer 1

Any number of pounds of almonds can be purchased, including partial amounts, so the relation described in the table is continuous.

Because x can be any positive number of pounds, the domain of the relation is x ≥ 0, or x-values greater than or equal to 0.

Because y can be any positive dollar amount, the range of the relation is y ≥ 0, or y-values greater than or equal to 0.

Answer 2

The domain is {0.5, 1, 1.5, 2}

The range is {1.9, 3.8, 5.7, 7.6}

Explanation:

The cost, y is in dollars, and x in pounds of almonds is shown in the table.

x (pounds) y ($)

0.5 1.9

1 3.80

1.5 5.70

2 7.60

The grocery store sells almond at $3.80 per pound, the relation between y and x is given by the function:

y = 3.8x

The x values are the independent variables and they serve as the input of the function while the y values are the dependent variables (dependent on x) and the serve as the output of the function.

The domain consist of input values which is the x values. The domain is {0.5, 1, 1.5, 2}

The range consists of all output values i.e the y values. The range is {1.9, 3.8, 5.7, 7.6}
