An auto-parts store offers a fuel additive that claims to increase a vehicle’s gas mileage. The additive is poured into a vehicle’s gasoline tank after the tank is filled. To measure the claim, two methods to collect data are proposed. Method A: 10 similar police cars owned by a city are selected. After the cars are filled with a fresh tank of gasoline, researchers randomly select 10 of the cars to receive the additive, while the other 10 do not receive the additive. The gas mileage for each car is recorded in miles per gallon.

Method B: 20 customers at an auto-parts store receive free coupons for the additive and are asked to use it with their next fresh tank of gasoline. The customers then report their gas mileage with the fuel additive.

Which method describes an experiment?

Method B is an experiment because every car receives the additive.

Method A is an experiment because the additive is used with a new tank of gasoline.

Both methods are experiments because the additive is used in a new tank of gas in both methods.

Method A is an experiment because random assignment determines which cars receive the additive and which cars do not.

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:
