Below is an excerpt from the home loan contract Kyle signed with his bank. "The sum of the principal of the loan and all applicable interest will be divided into 360 monthly payments according to the amortization schedule.

The Buyer shall make each monthly payment by the first day of the month it is due. A payment not received by the first day of the month it is due will be considered delinquent. A payment not received by the fifteenth day of the month it is due will be subject to a late charge of $75.00. If a payment is not received by the last day of the month it is due, the Buyer and transaction shall be reported to the appropriate credit agencies.

In the event of delinquency, the Buyer may divide any payment not received into not more than three equal installments to be included on the next consecutive monthly payments. Notification of the Buyer’s intent to do so must be made by written letter or phone call to the phone number and address

∞ this is your sign

because they could drop even lower..

when functions are first introduced, you will probably have some simplistic "functions" and relations to deal with, usually being just sets of points. these won't be terribly useful or interesting functions and relations, but your text wants you to get the idea of what the domain and range of a function are. small sets of points are generally the simplest sorts of relations, so your book starts with those.

step-by-step explanation:

state the domain and range of the following relation. is the relation a function?

{(2, –3), (4, 6), (3, –1), (6, 6), (2, 3)}

the above list of points, being a relationship between certain x's and certain y's, is a relation. the domain is all the x-values, and the range is all the y-values. to give the domain and the range, i just list the values without duplication:

domain: {2, 3, 4, 6}

range: {–3, –1, 3, 6}

(it is customary to list these values in numerical order, but it is not required. sets are called "unordered lists", so you can list the numbers in any order you feel like. just don't duplicate: technically, repetitions are okay in sets, but most instructors would count off for this.)

while the given set does indeed represent a relation (because x's and y's are being related to each other), the set they gave me contains two points with the same x-value: (2, –3) and (2, 3). since x = 2 gives me two possible destinations (that is, two possible y-values), then this relation is not a function.

note that all i had to do to check whether the relation was a function was to look for duplicate x-values. if you find any duplicate x-values, then the different y-values mean that you do not have a function. remember: for a relation to be a function, each x-value has to go to one, and only one, y-value.

state the domain and range of the following relation. is the relation a function?

{(–3, 5), (–2, 5), (–1, 5), (0, 5), (1, 5), (2, 5)}

i'll just list the x-values for the domain and the y-values for the range:

80x^8−68x^6+16^5−20x^4−4x^3+8x^2

hope i'm right lol
