**What This Document Is**
This document provides fully worked solutions for selected exercises from Section 1.1 of the Phoenix College Mathematical Concepts and Applications (MAT 112) course materials, focusing on the concepts of functions and continuity. It demonstrates how to determine key properties of functions, such as domain, range, and codomain, and how to assess whether a function is “onto.” Several examples are used, including graphical representations and data presented in tables.
**Why This Document Matters**
This resource is valuable for students enrolled in MAT 112 who are working through the exercises in Section 1.1. It serves as a check for understanding, illustrating the correct application of definitions and procedures. It’s particularly helpful when students encounter difficulties in identifying domains, ranges, or determining if a function meets specific criteria like being onto. Instructors may also find it useful as a reference for common student errors.
**Common Limitations or Challenges**
This document offers solutions to *specific* problems. It does not provide a comprehensive explanation of the underlying theory of functions and continuity. Students should not rely on this document as a substitute for attending lectures, reading the textbook, or actively working through problems independently. It also doesn’t cover all possible types of functions or continuity issues.
**What This Document Provides**
The full document includes:
* Detailed solutions for exercises involving identifying the domain, range, and codomain of functions represented graphically.
* Worked examples demonstrating how to determine if a function is “onto” based on its range and codomain.
* Solutions for problems based on real-world data presented in tables, such as sales figures and temperature readings.
* Analysis of whether functions represented by tables are one-to-one or onto.
This preview *does not* include all solutions from Section 1.1, only excerpts demonstrating the types of problems and solutions covered. It does not provide explanations of the concepts themselves, only the application of those concepts to specific examples.
