Which of the following ordered pairs could be in a relation that has a range of {2, 4, 5}? A. (2, 3), (4, 1), (5, 2) B. (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 2) C. (4, 3), (5, 5), (5, 2) D. (3, 4), (5, 5), (5, 2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k so what is the range?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant help you unless you help me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well first off domain is X and range is Y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for a the domain would be 2,4,5 BUT they want the range

OpenStudy (anonymous):

basically the domain is all the x's in the order pair ordered from least to greatest. now the range is the same thing BUT for Y's only.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

there is no order

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what you'll need to do is find one row that has the 3 numbers you have in the spot for Y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doesnt need to be in order...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it does! but not atm

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

nope {1,2,3}={3,2,1}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

it doesn't I promise. domains are sets and there is no order

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

because there might not be a relation {car,dog,house}

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

how would you order that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nouns and numbers arent the same.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

google set

OpenStudy (anonymous):

numbers have least to greatest.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

no need to argue, it is what it is

OpenStudy (mathmate):

... and doesn't have to have all members of {2,4,5}, BUT canNOT have anything outside of {2,4,5} in the "y-spot".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep^

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

also we don't repeat elements {2,2,3,4} makes no sense...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

has to be {2,3,4}

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

none of this is my opinion, its true by definition

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

again {2,3,4}={4,3,2}

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@saidieblake are you there? Looks like the guests are taking over without the host!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sadieblake hello?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@chucho78 {2,3,4}\(\equiv\) {4,2,3} as @zzr0ck3r mentioned.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

http://www.mathsisfun.com/sets/sets-introduction.html scroll down to where it says equality

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(facepalm) i think i've been expressing myself wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're right my apologies.
