In mathematical terms, if an x-value has multiple y-values that it maps to, that means the relationship is not a function. A function is defined such that each input (x-value) corresponds to exactly one output (y-value).
Given the domain of \([-3, 1]\) and the range of \([-3, 3]\), this mapping can represent a relation where:
- The **domain**, \([-3, 1]\), indicates the set of x-values that can be used.
- The **range**, \([-3, 3]\), indicates the set of possible y-values that can be achieved.
If there are x-values within the domain that map to multiple y-values within the range, then this relation is not a function. For example, if \(x = -2\) maps to both \(y = 1\) and \(y = 2\), this violates the function rule because a single x-value corresponds to more than one y-value.
In summary, the mapping you describe represents a relation that does not define a function due to the presence of multiple y-values for at least some x-values.
