Solve for the given domain. Write the solution as a set of ordered pairs.
y = 6 - 3x, domain {-1, 0, 1, 2, 3}.

Question

anonymous · Answer

domain are your x values so you put them into the equation to get your y values and then you have your ordered pairs can you do that?

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, easy stuff.

myininaya · Answer

how do you solve for something that is given?
lol

anonymous · Answer

You have to input -1 into the equation then solve for y. Then 0, then 1, ....etc.

myininaya · Answer

the first sentence makes no sense

anonymous · Answer

Well, there were two things that I did see... An equation with x, and a domain set....I knew that in order to find a solution set, I would have to use those inputs...

myininaya · Answer

right 
the second second makes sense
i just don't understand how you would solve for something that is already given

myininaya · Answer

the second sentence*

myininaya · Answer

right 
but i guess you didn't read the first sentence
it also says solve for the domain

myininaya · Answer

i know what the second sentence says
that makes sense
but the first sentence does not make any sense

anonymous · Answer

"solve for the domain" means that given the domain, find the range

myininaya · Answer

lol no it doesn't but okay

anonymous · Answer

Oh well, I'm sure my approach is correct though. There's no other way to do it.

myininaya · Answer

i love you hermolies

myininaya · Answer

hermoiles this is the way i would do it too
i just want people to make sense when they asked their questions

myininaya · Answer

i know thats impossible

anonymous · Answer

But isn't that the reason why questions are asked? Maybe even the question itself doesn't make sense...causing confusion....

anonymous · Answer

Questions themselves can be questions...A question in the question....

myininaya · Answer

but thats why i'm asking questions about her question because her question makes no sense and she still never answered any of my questions about her questions lol

anonymous · Answer

But myininaya, if there was a mistake in the question and you noticed it, you could have easily corrected it. After all, you are a guru.

myininaya · Answer

lol

myininaya · Answer

so i should be a mind reader by now is what you are saying?

anonymous · Answer

...I'm a guy... but yeah. Thanks for the help.

myininaya · Answer

i had a question about your question?
why did you say solve for the given domain?
does it say to do that?
do you know you can't solve for something that is already given right?

anonymous · Answer

myininaya, I am convinced that you do not understand what "solve for the given domain" means

anonymous · Answer

I don't know, heres the multiple choice answers:

A.{(-1, 7.5), (0, 6), (1, 4.5), (2, 3), (3, 1.5)}
B.{(-1, 9), (0, 6), (1, 3), (2, 0), (3, -3)}
C.{(-1, 10), (0, 6), (6, 3), (3, 3)}
D.{(-1, 3), (0, 6), (1, 3), (2, 0), (3, -9)}

myininaya · Answer

solve for the given domain
means solve for the domain lol

myininaya · Answer

given the domain

anonymous · Answer

If that were the case, why would they have to say "given domain" obviously they're saying that the domain is given

amistre64 · Answer

the math thing to do would be to use the x values they give you to determine appropriate y values to make ordered pairs out of

myininaya · Answer

lol right!
i'm just so curious about that first sentence

myininaya · Answer

that first sentence makes no sense

amistre64 · Answer

:) solve for the range given the domain perhaps

anonymous · Answer

I think the answer is b

amistre64 · Answer

b isnt an ordered pair lol

myininaya · Answer

that would make more sense amistre

myininaya · Answer

maybe she just forgot to type to word range

anonymous · Answer

A.{(-1, 7.5), (0, 6), (1, 4.5), (2, 3), (3, 1.5)}
B.{(-1, 9), (0, 6), (1, 3), (2, 0), (3, -3)}
C.{(-1, 10), (0, 6), (6, 3), (3, 3)}
D.{(-1, 3), (0, 6), (1, 3), (2, 0), (3, -9)}

myininaya · Answer

oops sorry he*

anonymous · Answer

I was referring to the list of answer choices above amistre

anonymous · Answer

The answer is B

myininaya · Answer

lol i love you guys

amistre64 · Answer

i see (-1,10) as the first option tho

amistre64 · Answer

of course, -3(-1) = 3 not 4 .. i added kinda lol

myininaya · Answer

yes b is right

anonymous · Answer

If I were you myininaya, I would have said, "Did you mean Solve for the range given the domain?". That was all I would have said....just sayin

myininaya · Answer

lol ok hero

myininaya · Answer

i just thought it was interesting that it said solve for the given domain

anonymous · Answer

But even with the word "range" missing, it still doesn't imply to solve for the domain.

myininaya · Answer

yes it does
it says solve for something that is already given

anonymous · Answer

Okay Guru. I love you too.

myininaya · Answer

:)

myininaya · Answer

well me making trouble is over for today
i need a break

anonymous · Answer

If that's how you interpreted it, how did you find that that answer was B?

anonymous · Answer

Okay

myininaya · Answer

the second sentence

anonymous · Answer

Hmmmm, okay, I wouldn't have needed the second sentence.

myininaya · Answer

i would

myininaya · Answer

because as we already know the first sentence makes no sense lol

anonymous · Answer

We're not arguing are we? This is just friendly banter...

myininaya · Answer

hero, i'm just having fun
even though what the person wrote was wrong, i know what they were looking for.
i just want them to think about what they write and if it makes sense.
and yes i could have at any time said do you mean solve for the range given the domain
but instead i just wanted them to think about it and answered me

myininaya · Answer

i did give you a medal for this 
because you deserve one for trying to defend the person's question

myininaya · Answer

so yes this friendly talk on my end
how about yours?

myininaya · Answer

friendly talk?

anonymous · Answer

Yes :)

myininaya · Answer
