Math Problem Statement

Find the domain and range of the following graph.

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to analyze the domain and range of the graph shown in the image.

Domain:

The domain refers to all the possible xx-values for which the graph is defined.

  • The graph extends indefinitely to the left as the diagonal line continues, which means it covers all negative xx-values.
  • The rightmost point on the graph seems to occur at x=3x = 3, and it appears to be a closed (filled) point.

Thus, the domain is: (,3](-\infty, 3]

Range:

The range refers to all the possible yy-values that the graph covers.

  • The graph starts from the highest point at y=5y = 5 (which is the highest point of the diagonal line as it extends indefinitely).
  • The lowest yy-value occurs at y=1y = 1, which corresponds to a point at x=2x = 2. This is the lowest part of the graph.

Thus, the range is: (,5](-\infty, 5]

It seems like your initial answer for the domain is correct, but the range was reversed. The correct range should be [1,5][1, 5], since the range should be listed in ascending order.

Would you like more details on the solution or have any other questions?

Here are 5 follow-up questions related to this topic:

  1. How do we identify open and closed points on a graph for domain and range?
  2. How does the slope of a line affect the domain and range of a function?
  3. Can you explain how to determine whether a graph extends infinitely in a given direction?
  4. What is the difference between domain and range in practical terms?
  5. How does one apply domain and range in real-world problems?

Tip: Always list the range from the lowest yy-value to the highest yy-value, ensuring it reflects the vertical span of the graph.
