Math Problem Statement
Determine the domain and range
Determine the domain and range for the ellipse shown in the graph.
Solution
This graph shows an ellipse centered at the origin .
To determine the domain and range:
Domain:
The domain represents the possible -values.
- From the graph, the ellipse extends horizontally from to .
- Therefore, the domain is:
Range:
The range represents the possible -values.
- The ellipse extends vertically from to .
- Thus, the range is:
Summary:
- Domain:
- Range:
Would you like more details on how to find these values or further questions?
Here are some follow-up questions:
- What is the equation of this ellipse?
- How would the domain and range change if the ellipse were moved?
- What if the axes were stretched or compressed—how would that impact domain and range?
- How is the length of the major and minor axis determined?
- What if we rotated the ellipse—would the domain and range change?
Tip: The center of an ellipse provides a quick reference to split the domain and range equally along each axis.
