Math Problem Statement

Determine domain and range of functions from the given graph, and write the range using interval notation.

Solution

To determine the domain and range of the function based on the graph:

Domain:

The domain is the set of all possible xx-values (horizontal axis) over which the function is defined. From the graph, the function starts at x=5x = -5 and ends at x=1x = 1, so the domain in interval notation is: [5,1][-5, 1]

Range:

The range is the set of all possible yy-values (vertical axis) that the function can take. Looking at the graph, the function starts at y=0y = 0 and reaches a maximum of y=4y = 4. Therefore, the range is: [0,4][0, 4]

Would you like more details on how to find domain and range, or help with another aspect of this problem?

Here are five related questions you might find useful:

  1. How do you determine the domain of more complex functions like rational functions?
  2. How does the range change if the function is flipped vertically?
  3. Can a function have a domain but no range?
  4. How does the concept of domain and range apply to real-world problems?
  5. What happens to the domain and range when transformations like shifting or stretching are applied to the function?

Tip: Always carefully observe the endpoints of the graph to determine whether they are included (closed circle) or excluded (open circle) from the domain or range.
