SOMEONE PLEASE HELP?? MEDAL:D What is the range of the following relation? A. {-3,1,2} B. {-4,-3,-1,1,3} C. {-3,-1,1,2} D. {-4, 1,2}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The range is the collection of all the y's, or the second value in the ordered pair.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be B than?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910 please help with this one?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Example: The points (1,2) and (4,7) have the y coordinates of 2 and 7 respectively. Therefore, the range of those set of points (think of them collectively as a function) is the set {2, 7}

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

basically, range is just the set of y values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer would be B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya so our answer would be b right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

is -4 a y coordinate of any of the points?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh s that would make it D then huh?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

is -4 a y coordinate of any of the points? yes? or no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i miss read the graph worry, my apologizes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so b can't possibly be the answer because of that -4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the range will be some set of numbers, but we know for sure that -4 won't be in that set

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer would be -3 ,-1,1,2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope C sorry

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok better, but not quite the answer the set in choice A has all the right numbers BUT it's missing one y value

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good, it's C

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the y coordinates of the points are -3,-1,1, and 2 so the range is {-3,-1,1,2}
