Math Problem Statement
What is the domain of the function shown in the graph below?
Solution
The graph shows a semicircle positioned above the x-axis. To find the domain of the function, we need to identify the x-values for which the graph is defined.
Observing the graph:
- The leftmost point of the graph is at .
- The rightmost point of the graph is at .
Thus, the domain of the function includes all x-values between and , inclusive. In interval notation, this is:

Here are five related questions:
- How do you find the range of this function from the graph?
- What kind of function is represented by this graph?
- What is the general equation of a circle or semicircle?
- How would the domain change if the semicircle were shifted horizontally?
- What happens to the domain if we reflect the graph across the y-axis?
Tip: For any graph, the domain represents the complete set of x-values where the function is defined.
