Question

Which sets of values belong to the domain and range of a relation?

Answer 1

Answer:

Domain: input values, independent variables

Range: output vales, dependent variables

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of it like a graph: the domain are the x-values and the range is the y-values. if you're doing a problem with time, the time will go on the x-axis and cannot be influenced by the y-values, but the y-vales are depending on what the x-values are (independent/dependent). for the input/output, usually when solving equations on a graph, you plug in the x-value and find the y-value. you're INPUTTING the x-value to receive the OUPUT.

Answer 2

Domain = set of allowed inputs

The input x is the independent variable as it can do whatever it wants without relying on y.

-------------------------

Range = set of possible outputs

The output is the dependent variable. It depends on what the input x is. Often, we make y the output dependent variable.

-------------------------

For example, with y = 2x+5, we can plug in anything we want for x (it doesn't need to look to y for guidance or anything). Once we pick something for x, it will directly determine what y is.

Let's say we picked x = 10. That would mean y = 2x+5 = 2*10+5 = 25. The input x = 10 in the domain leads to y = 25 in the range. We see that the output y = 25 depends entirely on the independent input x = 10.
