Question

An ordered pair is

the output (y) value of the relation

the input (x) value of the relation

a set of points that pair input values with output values

x and y values written in the form (x, y)

will give medal

Answer 1

Im sure you know the typical ordered pair we encounter commonly, i.e. x-y coordinates on a graph. So you can probably eliminate two of these choices immediately.

Answer 2

Now think of where these values come from. You probably use functions quite often. How are these usually written? f(x)=y. How would you describe x and y?

Answer 3

is it the last one

Answer 4

Nope. Consider the function. Your teacher might have described it this way: given a function: you put something into it (x), and get something else out (y).

Answer 5

im homeschooled

Answer 6

Well, think of a function as a machine, you drop something into it, and it spits out something else. If I give you a function like f(x)=2x, this is saying that, for any x, it spits out twice that x.

Answer 7

another way of writing a function is y=2x

Answer 8

so it is c.

Answer 9

so its not one of the first ones

Answer 10

thanks

Answer 11

it's not C, it's actually

x and y values written in the form (x, y)

one way to remember this is that x and y are thought together as a pair

Answer 12

since order matters, (x,y) is NOT the same as (y,x) and x must come first, it's ordered

so that's where the term "ordered pair" comes from
