Math Problem Statement

Solution

The image you've uploaded contains a set of graph-based questions, focusing on domains, ranges, and functions. I'll analyze the graphs shown and provide insights into each problem depicted.

Observations and Solutions:

  1. Top Graph (Problem 5):

    • Graph: A horizontal line from x=2x = 2 to x=7x = 7.
    • Domain: [2,7][2, 7] - This indicates the graph exists only from x=2x = 2 to x=7x = 7.
    • Range: {4}\{4\} - The line stays constant at y=4y = 4, so the range is just this single value.
    • Type: This is not a function because a vertical line at any xx-value between 2 and 7 will intersect the graph more than once, violating the vertical line test.
  2. Middle Graph (Problem 6):

    • Graph: A horizontal arrow starting from x=6x = 6 and extending to the left indefinitely.
    • Domain: (,6](-\infty, 6] - The graph covers all xx-values up to and including 6.
    • Range: {5}\{5\} - The line is at a constant y=5y = 5, so the range is just 5.
    • Type: This is a function because it passes the vertical line test everywhere.
  3. Bottom Graph (Problem 7):

    • Graph: A diagonal line extending through all quadrants.
    • Domain: (,)(-\infty, \infty) - This line extends infinitely in both directions, so the domain is all real numbers.
    • Range: (,)(-\infty, \infty) - Since the line spans all yy-values, the range is also all real numbers.
    • Type: This is a function because it passes the vertical line test everywhere.

Would you like more details or explanations on any of these problems? Here are some related questions you might find helpful:

  1. What is the significance of the vertical line test in determining functions?
  2. How do you determine the domain and range for a graph that is not a straight line?
  3. Can a function have a domain or range that includes negative infinity or positive infinity?
  4. What are some real-life applications where determining the domain and range of a function is crucial?
  5. How do piecewise functions differ in terms of domain and range from regular functions?

Tip: Always check if a graph passes the vertical line test to determine if it represents a function.
