What's A Solution Set? | Virtual Nerd

Real math help. What's a Solution Set? What's a Solution Set?

Note:

When an equation has two variables, the set of ordered pairs that are the solution to the equation are called the solution set to the equation. In this tutorial, you'll learn the definition of a solution set and see an example. Take a look!

    What's a Set?

    This tutorial will help you understand what a set is, and the different kinds of sets that you may see when you're working on algebra problems :)

    What is an Ordered Pair?

    Ordered pairs are a fundamental part of graphing. Ordered pairs make up functions on a graph, and very often, you need to plot ordered pairs in order to see what the graph of a function looks like. This tutorial will introduce you to ordered pairs!

    How Do You Find the Solution Set for a Relation If You Know the Domain?

    To find the solution set of an equation with a given domain, you first need to plug each value in the domain into the equation to get the respective range values. Create ordered pairs from these values and write them as a set. That set is your answer! Learn it all in this tutorial!

    How Do You Check if a Point is on a Line If You Have an Equation?

    Wondering if a point is part of the equation of a line? Got the equation of the line but no graph? No problem! Just take that point and plug it into the equation and simplify. If you end up with a true statement, the point is indeed part of the equation. If you end up with a false statement, then that point is not part of the equation. See this process first-hand in this tutorial!
