ok so what do you think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i have no idea

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

x y = -x + 1 -3 4 1 0 4.5 -3.5

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

range {-3.5, 0, 4} ............. x y = 2x -3 -6 1 2 4.5 9 Range (-6, 2, 9}

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

ok let do it other way

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

y = –x + 1 y = –(-3) + 1 y = 4

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

y = –x + 1 y = –1 + 1 y = 0

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

y = –x + 1 y = –4.5 + 1 y = -3.5

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

Range: {4, 0, -3.5}

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

so the answer is what? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummmm im still lost XD

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

ok have you learn this before

OpenStudy (tennis5518):

or is it just a pretest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i learned it before a long time ago but i cant remember at all how to do it

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

The first number given in the domain is -3. This is the first number in the curly braces plug in x = -3 to get... f(x) = 2x^2 f(-3) = 2(-3)^2 ... replace every x with -3 f(-3) = _______ (fill in the blank; tell me what you get)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

36?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you do exponents first, then multiply

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

follow PEMDAS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh right...18?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you do NOT do this 2(-3)^2 = (-6)^2 = 36

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, you do this 2(-3)^2 = 2(9) = 18

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so x = -3 is the input which matches with the output y = 18 -3 is in the domain 18 is in the range

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

A function is made up of ordered pairs of the form (x, y). In a function, the domain is the set of values that the x-coordinate can have. The range is the set of values that the y-coordinate can have. In your example, you are given the equation for the function. Use each x-coordinate you are given and come up with the corresponding y-coordinate. Then all the y-coordinates are the range of the function. Compare the range you get with the choices.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you'll do the same for the other numbers in the domain (1 and 4.5) to find the other numbers in the range

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so, 2*1^2 is 1....right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its 2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no, 2*1^2 = 2*1 = 2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes correct, it's 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

XD so now its either c or d then 2*4.5^2 is 40.5 so its d

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it's not choice C because choice C has -18 but when you plug in x = -3, the output is y = 18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhhh

Jim!! I forgot the information to my old account, mikeyy1992. It's nice to see you still on here.
