1. 3x - 4y = 17
To determine the domain and range of this relation, we need to solve for either x or y in terms of the other variable. Let's solve for y:
3x - 4y = 17
-4y = -3x + 17
y = (3/4)x - (17/4)
So the domain is all real numbers and the range is all real numbers. To determine if the relation is a function, we need to check if there is only one output (y) for each input (x). Since we have solved for y in terms of x, this relation is a function.
2. x = √(y - 4)
Similarly, let's solve for y:
x = √(y - 4)
x^2 = y - 4
y = x^2 + 4
The domain is all real numbers, since any value of x can be squared and then have 4 added to it. The range is all real numbers greater than or equal to 4, since x^2 will always be greater than or equal to 0, and adding 4 to it will result in a value that is greater than or equal to 4. To determine if the relation is a function, we need to check if there is only one output (x) for each input (y). Since we have solved for y in terms of x, this relation is a function.
