what does the arrow right symbol stand for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yields

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if I have xyield 1what do i do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or as x goes to 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you doing a limit?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It just says suppose f is a rule of correspondence with domain elements x,y,z,t Then it states that each of these letters are to yeild to 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then it asks if f is a function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does that make sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If i'm correctly understanding what you are asking your domain elements will be x,y,z,t... and if they are all 1 so say you have (1,a),(1,b)(1,c)(1,d) is this a function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so in this case it cannot be a funtion as a function can only have one value for (1,?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldn't it be no because you have to have more then one real number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it state their range

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One value of x must always have only one value of y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if they are all 1 and the ranges differ (which i believe is what they are asking), your answer will be no it is not a function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok that is what I thought too. Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The arrow in this case indicates a mapping. x->y should be read "x maps to y".
