Prentice Hall Algebra 2
  1. Chemistry The time required for a certain chemical reaction is related to the amount of catalyst present during the reaction. The domain of the relation is the number of grains of catalyst, and the range is the number of seconds required for a fixed amount of the chemical to react. The table shows the data from several reactions.
    Catalyst and Reaction Time
    Number of Grains Number of Seconds
    2.0 180
    2.5 6
    2.7 0.05
    2.9 0.001
    3.0 6
    3.1 15
    3.2 37
    3.3 176
    1. Is the relation a function?
    2. If the domain and range were interchanged, would the relation be a function? Explain.
