Express the following functions as set of ordered pairs and determine their range. f: X → R, f (x) = x3 + 1, where X = {–1, 0, 3, 9, 7}

Solution:

Provided that,

A function \mathrm{f}: \mathrm{X} \rightarrow \mathrm{R}, \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{x})=\mathrm{x}^{3}+1, in which \mathrm{X}=\{-1,0,3,9,7\}

Domain = f is a function such that the first elements of all the ordered pair belong to the set X=\{-1,0,3,9,7\}.

The second element of all the ordered pair are such that they satisfy the condition f (x) = x^{3} + 1

When x=-1

f(x)=x^{3}+1

f(-1)=(-1)^{3}+1=-1+1=0 \Rightarrow ordered pair =(-1,0)

When x=0

f(x)=x^{3}+1

f(0)=(0)^{3}+1=0+1=1 \Rightarrow ordered pair =(0,1)

When x=3

f(x)=x^{3}+1

f(3)=(3)^{3}+1=27+1=28 \Rightarrow ordered pair =(3,28)

When x=9

f(x)=x^{3}+1

f(9)=(9)^{3}+1=729+1=730 \Rightarrow ordered pair =(9,730)

When x=7

f(x)=x^{3}+1

f(7)=(7)^{3}+1=343+1=344 \Rightarrow ordered pair =(7,344)

As a result, the provided function as a set of ordered pairs is

f=\{(-1,0),(0,1),(3,28),(7,344),(9,730)\}

And,

Range of f=\{0,1,28,730,344\}
