Determine if a Relation is a Function

In the following exercises, use the set of ordered pairs to a. determine whether the relation is a function, b. find the domain of the relation, and c. find the range of the relation.

295. $\{(-3,9),(-2,4),(-1,1)$

$(0,0),(1,1),(2,4),(3,9)\}$

297. $\{(-3,27),(-2,8),(-1,1)$

$(0,0),(1,1),(2,8),(3,27)\}$

In the following exercises, use the mapping to a. determine whether the relation is a function, b. find the domain of the function, and c. find the range of the function.
