A relation is the set of pairs (2, 10), (3, 10), (4, 20) and (5, 30). What is its domain?
- The set 10, 10, 20, 30
- The set 2, 10, 3, 30
- The set 2, 3, 4, 5
- The set 4, 5, 20, 30
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. The set 2, 3, 4, 5
1. The domain of a relation collects its input values.
2. The input value is the first coordinate in each ordered pair.
3. Reading off the first coordinates gives 2, 3, 4 and 5, so that set is the domain.
4. The second coordinates form the range instead.
