Question

Graph each relation or equation and find the domain and range.

Then determine whether the relation or equation is a function.

$\left\{\left(6,2.5\right),\left(3,2.5\right),\left(4,2.5\right)\right\}$

Short answer

The graph of the given relation is:

The domain of the given relation is $\left\{3,4,6\right\}$ and the range is $\left\{2.5\right\}$. The relation is a function.

Step-by-step solution

– Definition of function, domain and range.

• A relation is a function if each element of the domain is paired with exactly one element of the range and a relation is not a function if there exist an element in the domain paired with more than one element of the range.
• The set of input values is known as domain.

The set of output values is known as Range.

– Draw the graph of the given relation.

The given relation is $\left\{\left(\text{6,2.5}\right)\text{,}\left(\text{3,2.5}\right)\text{,}\left(\text{4,2.5}\right)\right\}$.

Plot the ordered pairs $\left(\text{6,2.5}\right)\text{,}\left(\text{3,2.5}\right)\text{,}\left(\text{4,2.5}\right)$ on a coordinate plane as shown below:

– Domain and range of the given relation.

Input values of the relation are 3,4,6 and the output value is 2.5.

Domain $=\left\{3,4,6\right\}$

Range $=\left\{2.5\right\}$

– Check whether the relation is a function.

This relation is a function becauseeach number of the domain is paired with exactly one member of the range.

Thus, the domain of the given relation is $\left\{3,4,6\right\}$ and the range is $\left\{2.5\right\}$. The relation is a function.
