Math Problem Statement

Give the domain of f(x) = |1 + 3x| using interval notation.

Solution

The function provided is:

f(x)=1+3xf(x) = |1 + 3x|

To find the domain of f(x)f(x), we need to determine for which values of xx the expression inside the absolute value function is defined.

The absolute value function 1+3x|1 + 3x| is defined for all real numbers, because the expression inside the absolute value, 1+3x1 + 3x, is a linear function, and a linear function is defined for all real values of xx.

Thus, the domain of f(x)=1+3xf(x) = |1 + 3x| is all real numbers.

In interval notation, the domain is:

(,)(-\infty, \infty)

Would you like further details on absolute value functions or their domains?

Here are some related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. How do absolute value functions behave graphically?
  2. What is the domain of the function f(x)=x3f(x) = \sqrt{x - 3}?
  3. What is the range of the function f(x)=x4+2f(x) = |x - 4| + 2?
  4. How can you solve equations involving absolute value expressions?
  5. What is the difference between the domain of a rational function and an absolute value function?

Tip: Remember that absolute value functions are defined for all real numbers, so their domain is typically (,)(-\infty, \infty).
