A. neither a relation nor a function

B. relation only

C. both a relation and a function

D. function only

Solution

Problem 16 :

Which of the following relations describes a function?

A. { (0, 0), (0, 2), (2, 0), (2, 2) }

B. { (2, 2), (2, 3), (3, 2), (3, 3) }

C. { (2, -1), (2, 1), (3, -1), (3, 1) }

D. { (-2, -3), (-3, -2), (2, 3), (3, 2) }

Solution

Answer Key

(1)  It is a function

(2)  It is a function

(3)  Not a function

(4)  It is a function

(5)  It is a function

(6)  Not a function

(7)  Not a function

(8)  the input -2 is associated with more than one output. So, this relation is not a function.

(9)  each input is associated with different outputs, this relation is a function.

(10)  Domain = -2 < x ≤ 2

Range = -2 < x ≤ 1

(11)  Domain = -3 ≤ 1

Range = -1 ≤ ≤ 3

(12)  i)  Domain = {-2, 4, 5, 10}

ii)  Range = {3, 4, 7, 10}

iii) f(5) = 3

(13)  f = {(-3, 3) (-1, 1) (0, 0) (1, 1)}

i) Domain = {-3, -1, 0, 1}

ii) Range = {0, 1, 3}

iii) f(1) = 1

(14)  

f = {(2, 2) (0, 0) (-1, 2) (-3, 0) (2, -3)}

i) Domain = {-3, -1, 0, 2}

ii) Range = {-3, 0, 2}

iii) f(-3) = 0

(15)  option B is correct.

(16)  Option D is a function

Solution

Problem 3 :

(2, 5), (-1, 4), (-3, 7), (2, -3)

Solution

Problem 4 :

(3, -2), (3, 0), (3, 2), (3, 4)

Solution

Problem 5 :

(-7, 0), (-5, 0), (-3, 0), (-1, 0)

Solution

Problem 6 :

(0, 5), (0, 1), (2, 1), (2, -5)

Solution

Problem 7 :

Find the range of f (x) = −x + 4 for the domain {–3, –2, –1, 1}

Solution

Problem 8 :

An employee receives a weekly salary of $340 and a 6% commission on all sales.

a. Write a rule to describe the function f(d) that gives weekly earnings in terms of d dollars in sales.

b. Find the employee’s earnings for a week with $660 total sales.

c. What were the employee’s total sales for a week in which her earnings were $1300?

Solution

Problem 9 :

Use the vertical line test to determine whether the relation is a function.

(−1, −2), (3, −1), (−5, 2) (−3, −5)

relation-represents-function-q1

Solution

Problem 9 :

You are driving to visit a friend in another state who lives 440 miles away. You are driving 55 miles per hour and have already driven 275 miles. Write and solve an equation to find how much longer in hours you must drive to reach your destination.

Solution

Problem 10 :

A customer went to a garden shop and bought some potting soil for $17.50 and 4 shrubs. The total bill was $53.50. Write and solve an equation to find the price of each shrub.

Solution

Answer Key

(1)  Function

(2)  Function

(3)  Not a function

(4)  Not a function

(5)  Function

(6)  Not a function

(7)  the range is {7, 6, 5, 3}.

(8)  a)  the required function is f(d) = 340 + 0.06x.

b)  379.6

c) the required total sales is 16000.

(9)  When we draw the vertical line, it is intersecting the points maximum at one point. So, this relation is function.

(10)  Approximately 3 miles.

(11)  the price of each shrub is $9.
