Question 639784: what is the domain and range of the relation and state whether or not the relation is a function {(3,9) (3,10) (3,11) (3,12)}

The domain is simply the set of x values: {3}

The range is simply the set of y values: {9,10,11,12}

Since there are multiple y values for any given x value,

this relation is NOT a function.

If graphed, it would fail the Vertical Line Test.

For a relation to be a function, for any particular x value (or input value),

there can only be one corresponding y value (or output value).

I hope this helps! :)
