Math Problem Statement

Find the domain, range, intercepts, and behavior of the given graph.

Solution

From the image, I see questions related to domain, range, intercepts, and behavior of the given graph. Here's the breakdown:


(b) Domain and Range:

  • Domain: The domain of the function corresponds to all possible xx-values the graph covers. Observing the graph:

    • xx ranges from 0 to 4, including both endpoints.
    • Domain: [0,4][0, 4].
  • Range: The range corresponds to all yy-values the graph covers.

    • The graph extends vertically from y=0y = 0 to y=3y = 3, including both values.
    • Range: [0,3][0, 3].

(c) Intercepts:

  • X-Intercept(s): The xx-intercept is where the graph crosses the xx-axis (y=0y = 0).

    • At x=0x = 0, the graph passes through the origin.
    • xx-intercept: x=0x = 0.
  • Y-Intercept(s): The yy-intercept is where the graph crosses the yy-axis (x=0x = 0).

    • At y=0y = 0, the graph passes through the origin.
    • yy-intercept: y=0y = 0.

(d) Values of yy:

  • Based on the graph, yy values appear to be:
    • Non-negative (i.e., y0y \geq 0).
    • Choose: "Non-negative".

(e) End Behavior:

  • As xx increases towards 4, the graph appears to approach y=3y = 3 (horizontal asymptote).
  • As xx decreases towards 0, the graph decreases and approaches y=0y = 0.
  • Best description: yy approaches a maximum value of 3 as xx increases.

Let me know if you'd like me to explain further or solve another related problem! Here are 5 follow-up questions to expand:

  1. How do we define the domain and range for other types of functions (e.g., parabolas)?
  2. Can the range of a function ever include all real numbers?
  3. How does a graph's shape determine the number of xx- and yy-intercepts?
  4. What is the significance of asymptotes in analyzing graphs?
  5. How do transformations (e.g., shifts or stretches) affect the intercepts?

Tip: Always analyze a graph by observing its behavior at boundaries and key points (intercepts, asymptotes, turning points
