RELATIONS, FUNCTIONS AND SEQUENCES (Chapter 14) 329

EXERCISE 14A
1 State the domain and range of these relations:
a f(¡1, 5), (¡2, 3), (0, 4), (¡3, 8), (6, ¡1), (¡2, 3)g
b f(5, 4), (¡3, 4), (4, 3), (2, 4), (¡1, 3), (0, 3), (7, 4)g.
2 For each of the following graphs, find the domain and range:
a y b y c y

B FUNCTIONS
A function is a relation in which no two different ordered pairs have the same first member.

So, f(¡1, 3), (2, 2), (¡1, ¡2), (3, 2), (4, ¡1)g is not a function. y

different ordered pairs
with same first member. x
