For each relation, decide whether or not it is a function.
Relation 1 | Relation 2 |
---|---|
Domain | Range |
$s$ | $u$ |
$z$ | $n$ |
$n$ | $v$ |
$w$ | $n$ |
$-9$ | rock |
| Function | Not a function | Function | Not a function |
Relation 3 | Relation 4 |
---|---|
$\{(-6, -6), (2, 2), (4, -2), (-2, -2)\}$ | $\{(u, 1), (x, 5), (x, -8), (x, -2)\}$ |
Function | Not a function |
Solution
To determine if each relation is a function, we check if every element in the domain is mapped to exactly one element in the range. Relation 1: - Domain: \( s, z, n, w \) - Range: \( u, n, v, n \) Each domain element is mapped to exactly one range element. - Conclusion: Function Relation 2: - Domain: \( -3, -9, -5, -7, -9 \) - Range: \( \text{chair, tree, door, star, rock} \) The domain element \(-9\) maps to two different range elements: tree and rock. - Conclusion: Not a function Relation 3: \[ \{(-6, -6), (2, 2), (4, -2), (-2, -2)\} \] Each domain element is unique and each maps to one range element. - Conclusion: Function Relation 4: \[ \{(u, 1), (x, 5), (x, -8), (x, -2)\} \] The domain element \(x\) maps to multiple range elements: 5, -8, and -2. - Conclusion: Not a function
