Math Problem Statement

Determine the range of the following graph.

Solution

The image shows a graph, and the question asks to determine the range of the graph.

Steps to Determine the Range:

  1. Identify the Highest Point (Maximum): This is the highest value the graph reaches on the y-axis.
  2. Identify the Lowest Point (Minimum): This is the lowest value the graph reaches on the y-axis.
  3. Determine the Range: The range is the set of all y-values that the function takes. It can be represented as [ymin,ymax][y_{min}, y_{max}] if it's a continuous graph.

Analysis of the Graph:

  • Maximum Value: The graph appears to peak at around y=2y = 2.
  • Minimum Value: The lowest point of the graph appears to be around y=5y = -5.

Conclusion:

The range of the function is from y=5y = -5 to y=2y = 2.

Range: [5,2][-5, 2]

Follow-up Questions:

  1. How do you determine the domain of a function based on its graph?
  2. What does the range of a function tell you about its behavior?
  3. How would the range change if the graph were shifted vertically?
  4. Can a function have the same domain but different ranges?
  5. How can you determine if a function is increasing or decreasing from its graph?

Tip: Always observe the endpoints and any asymptotes (if present) when determining the range and domain from a graph.
