Let's break down what the problem asks for and how to approach it.
A relation is simply a set of ordered pairs that satisfy a given condition. In this problem, the condition is , and the elements and must belong to the set of whole numbers, .
The domain of a relation is the set of all first elements (the -values) of the ordered pairs in the relation.
The range of a relation is the set of all second elements (the -values) of the ordered pairs in the relation.
To find the domain and range, our primary task is to identify all the ordered pairs that satisfy the given condition. We can think of this as systematically "testing" possible values for and from the set to see which ones fit the rule. While an arrow diagram is a visual representation of a relation, it's typically drawn after we've identified the specific ordered pairs. For a relation defined by an equation, the most direct approach is to list these pairs first.
Here's how we find the domain and range for the given relation:
-
Understand the set of numbers involved:
The problem states that . The set of whole numbers includes all non-negative integers: . This is a crucial piece of information, as it restricts our search for and values.
-
Identify constraints on and from the equation:
We have the equation .
Since and are whole numbers, and must also be non-negative.
This implies:
- .
- . So, we only need to check whole number values for and from to .
-
Systematically find all ordered pairs that satisfy :
We can iterate through possible whole number values for from to and see if a corresponding whole number exists.
-
If :
(since , we take the positive root).
This gives us the ordered pair .
-
If :
. This is not a whole number. So, no pair for .
-
If :
. This is not a whole number. So, no pair for .
-
If :
