Math Problem Statement
Determine domain and range
Solution
The graph in the image is a parabola that opens upwards. Let's determine its domain and range based on the visual information:
Domain:
The domain of a parabola that opens upwards or downwards is all real numbers unless explicitly restricted.
- Domain:
Range:
The range is determined by the lowest (minimum) point of the parabola, which is its vertex.
-
From the image, the vertex appears to be at .
-
The parabola opens upwards, so the -values start from and increase indefinitely.
-
Range:
Summary:
- Domain:
- Range:
Let me know if you need further clarification or details.
Here are some follow-up questions:
- What is the equation of this parabola if the vertex is known?
- How would the range change if the parabola opened downwards?
- What are the x-intercepts of the parabola in this graph?
- How do we determine the axis of symmetry for this parabola?
- What transformations (like shifts or stretches) could result in this graph?
Tip: For quadratic graphs, the vertex provides crucial information to determine both the range and symmetry.
