Answer

The given relation is not a function. Domain: $\left\{1\right\}$ Range: $\left\{4, 5, 6\right\}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: (i) A function is a relation where every first coordinate is paired with exactly one second coordinate. (ii) The domain of a relation is a set that contains all the first coordinates. (iii) The range of a relation is a set that contains all the second coordinates. Note that the first coordinate $1$ is paired with three different second coordinates. Thus, the given relation is NOT a function. The domain of the relation is $\left\{1\right\}$. The range of the relation is $\left\{4, 5, 6\right\}$.
