Do you know what the range of a function is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the range is when you find the highest number and the lowest number and subtract them right?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

For certain things, that is true, but for a function the range is the set of all y-coordinates of the function.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Look at the figure, can you list all the different numbers the y-coordinates have?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I copied the ordered pairs below to be easier to see them. x y 4 1 5 3 5 1 5 4 6 5 6 4 7 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are 7 elements in this domain right?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Look at the values under y: 1, 3, 1, 4, 5, 4, 8 Those are all the y-coordinates of the given points. Which numbers were used for y (without repetitions)? {1, 3, 4, 5, 8} That set is the range of the relation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The domain is the set of all the x-coordinates, but without repetition. All the x-coordinates are: 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7 The domain is all the numbers used for x without repetition: {4, 5, 6, 7} The domain has only 4 elements.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Notice, 3 never appears as an x-coordinate. It does appear as a y-coordinate.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

There is an ordered pair (7, 8), but there is no ordered pair (8, 7).
