PLEASE HELPPP WILL MEDALLL decide whether the relation is a function and justify your answer then state the domain and range.

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

(2,-9) (2,-2) (6,8) (8,1) (11,-7)

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

@marcelie @mathmate

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

first off its NOT a function right

OpenStudy (mathmate):

This is a case of a relation defined by points (5 points in all).

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Yes, it is a relation, not a function, as you have well said.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Do you know where to look for the set of numbers that make up the domain, the range?

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

its not a function because the domain number repeat would that be the answer

OpenStudy (marcelie):

range is from lowest to highest only y values domain is read from left to right ( x's only )

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

what would I write for the justify answer.

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

for the function part I just write yes or no then explain why

OpenStudy (mathmate):

The fact that the relation is not a function is not the only answer. You need to present two sets of numbers, one for the domain, one for the range. As @marcelie said, you extract these numbers from each of the points, the x-coordinates for the domain, the y-coordinates for the range. A set is shown as, for example, {2,4,6,9}, or {1,2,6,7} You need to select all the x-values from all of the points to make the domain (set). Note the use of braces {}. THere is a trap: sets do not have repeated elements. Most mathematicians do not consider {1,2,2,3} a set, because of the repeated "2". You put {1,2,3} instead.

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

I know but theres 2 part to this question

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

@Photon336

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

@arabpride this isn't a function right

OpenStudy (photon336):

Yeah basically every x value must have one and only one y value for it to be a function

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

now I have to put the range and domain in order

OpenStudy (mathmate):

I am referring to the second part. The first (function or not has been settled), the justification is what you have said. "its not a function because the domain number repeat" would be accepted, if I were the teacher.

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

okay now I have to put them in order lets start with the domain

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

@CandyCove I just need the domain and range in the correct order

OpenStudy (mathmate):

alright, I'm ready.

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

the domain would be -8,-8,-1,4,7

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

right

OpenStudy (arabpride):

Right, see how the x-value 2 repeats? That’s the indication that this set of points is \(not~a~function\).

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

is my domain in the correct order

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Are we working with (2,-9) (2,-2) (6,8) (8,1) (11,-7) or you have a different relation?

OpenStudy (arabpride):

Yes, but repeating the "-8" is unnecessary.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@roxyyy Are we working with (2,-9) (2,-2) (6,8) (8,1) (11,-7) or you have a different relation?

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

yes

OpenStudy (arabpride):

yes to what? lol

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Could you kindly explain how you got {-8,-8,-1,4,7} as the domain? Note: remember to put the list of numbers in braces, as I mentioned earlier.

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

my range is -2,-7,1,8

OpenStudy (arabpride):

braces, braces!

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@roxyyy Are we still working with (2,-9) (2,-2) (6,8) (8,1) (11,-7) or you have a different relation? Could you kindly explain how you got {-2,-7,1,8} as the domain? Note: remember to put the list of numbers in braces, as I mentioned earlier.

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

MY TEACHER DOESNT CARE

OpenStudy (arabpride):

I thought you said your teacher was picky? o.0

OpenStudy (arabpride):

or did you say he/she wasn't?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@roxyyy Goes with you. Bad habits are hard to get rid of.

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

she is with the explaining part

OpenStudy (arabpride):

Okay, well that's easy then, the set of points is NOT a function because the x-value of 2 repeats. Easy-peasy

OpenStudy (roxyyy):

you there

OpenStudy (mjdennis):

@roxyyy : You have a set of ordered pairs. Let's call them (x,y), so the first value in a pair is 'x' and the second value is 'y' Domain: the _set_ of all x-coordinates (first values) Range: the _set_ of all y-coordinates (second values) So start by writing down all the x values. Are there any duplicates? If, like your other helpers said, the same x-value appears more than once, it cannot be a function (because a function gives one y for each x). You can still find domain. Cross out duplicates. Then put them in order from least to greatest. For a perfect anser, use the curly brackets and commas. Example: (1,0), (4,0), (1,3), (2,2) X values 1 4 1 2 cull duplicates 1 4 2 In order 1 2 4 Domains is {1,2,4} Good luck

OpenStudy (mjdennis):

Range is the same idea for the y values. Just list them and remove the duplicates and order them.
