Math Problem Statement

Use set-builder notation to describe the domain and range of the function. Select the correct choice for the domain based on the graph provided.

Solution

To determine the domain of the function based on the graph shown:

  1. Domain: The function appears to have values for xx ranging from 10-10 to 1010. Since the graph is continuous within this interval, the domain includes all real values between these bounds, written as: {x10x10}\{ x \mid -10 \leq x \leq 10 \}

  2. Range: The range of yy is determined by observing the vertical extent of the function. The values of yy appear to span from 10-10 to 1010 as well, so the range is: {y10y10}\{ y \mid -10 \leq y \leq 10 \}

Answer Selection

Looking at the multiple-choice options, the answer that best describes the domain in the narrowest possible terms is:

  • Option F: {x10x10}\{ x \mid -10 \leq x \leq 10 \}.

This correctly reflects that xx can take any real value within this closed interval.
