At the beginning of the week, Josh had 32 computer games, 133% as many computer games than Peter had. By the end of the week, Josh gave Peter 25% of his computer games. How many computer games did Josh and Peter each have bythe end of the week? a. Josh had 8 games; Peter had 24 games.
b. Josh had 24 games; Peter had 8 games.
c. Josh had 24 games; Peter had 32 games.
d. Josh had 32 games; Peter had 24 games.

The correct answer is letter c. Josh had 24 games and Peter had 32 by the end of the week.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Josh has a total of 32 games, while that value is 133% as many as Peter's, therefore the number of games Peter had at the beginning of the week is:

At the beginning of the week Peter had 24 games. At the end of the week Josh gave Peter 25% of his games, therefore Peter's total is:

While Josh had:

The correct answer is letter c.

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:
