Math Problem Statement

Determine the range of the following graph.

Solution

To determine the range of the given graph, we need to analyze the vertical spread of the graph on the yy-axis.

Looking at the graph:

  1. The curve starts at a point with a maximum yy-value around y=4y = 4.
  2. The curve dips downward, reaching a minimum value at around y=3y = -3.
  3. After reaching the minimum, the curve moves back up slightly.

Thus, the range of the function is the set of all yy-values the graph takes. From this analysis, the graph spans vertically from y=3y = -3 (minimum) to y=4y = 4 (maximum).

Conclusion:

The range of the graph is [3,4][-3, 4].

Here are some related questions to deepen your understanding:

  1. How do we determine the domain of a graph?
  2. What is the difference between the domain and range of a function?
  3. How do critical points (maxima and minima) influence the range of a function?
  4. Can a function have an infinite range?
  5. How would transformations (like translations) affect the range of a graph?

Tip: Always check for the minimum and maximum points when determining the range of a graph, as these values define the boundaries of the range.
