Best Answer

A definitional argument is (usually a English essay or something along those lines) a essay where you have to define something and then say that your topic fits with the criteria that needs to be met. For example, lets say if my topic was if NASCAR racing should be a sport. I'd have to define what a sport is, and see if NASCAR fits the criteria it is. Another example would be if love is a addiction to some people. I'd have to try and define what a addiction is, and how (or how not) love can end up as a addiction. Hope this helped!

How do you determine the domain and range of relations and functions?

Some functions are only defined for certain values of the argument. For example, the the logarithm is defined for positive values. The inverse function is defined for all non-zero numbers. Sometimes the range determines the domain. If you are restricted to the real numbers, then the domain of the square root function must be the non-negative real numbers. In this way, there are definitional domains and ranges. You can then chose any subset of the definitional domain to be your domain, and the images of all the values in the domain will be the range.

What is hierarchy in math?

It is an order which may be implied by definitions or by the number themselves. For example, BIDMAS (or PEMDAS for the US) is a definitional hierarchy. The coordinates of a point is a definitional one: the X coordinate (abscissa) comes first, then the Y coordinate (ordinate). If the space is of three or more dimensions, the Z-coordinate follows and then w, and so on.Numerical hierarchy is simply putting the numbers in order of size.
