For the following exercises, (a) determine the domain and the range of each relation, and (b) state whether the relation is a function.
Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\)
\(x\) | \(y\) | \(x\) | \(y\) |
-3 | 9 | 1 | 1 |
-2 | 4 | 2 | 4 |
-1 | 1 | 3 | 9 |
0 | 0 |
- Answer
-
a. Domain = {\(−3,−2,−1,0,1,2,3\)}, range = {\(0,1,4,9\)}
