Math Problem Statement

The entire graph of the function g is shown in the figure below. Write the domain and range of g using interval notation.

Solution

The graph provided represents a function gg with a clear domain and range. Let's analyze the graph and determine both using interval notation.

Domain:

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (i.e., the xx-values) for which the function is defined. From the graph:

  • The function starts at x=4x = -4 and continues to x=3x = 3.
  • Therefore, the domain is from 4-4 to 33.

In interval notation: Domain=[4,3]\text{Domain} = [-4, 3]

Range:

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (i.e., the yy-values). From the graph:

  • The function reaches a minimum yy-value of 5-5 and a maximum of 55.
  • The maximum yy-value at 55 is not included, since there is an open circle at the point (3,5)(3, 5).

In interval notation: Range=[5,5)\text{Range} = [-5, 5)

Summary:

  • Domain: [4,3][-4, 3]
  • Range: [5,5)[-5, 5)

Would you like further details or have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How do you interpret closed vs. open intervals on a graph?
  2. Can the range of a function include an open interval at both ends?
  3. How do asymptotes affect the domain and range of a function?
  4. What is the difference between a continuous and a discrete function in terms of domain and range?
  5. How do transformations (like shifts and stretches) affect the domain and range of a function?

Tip: When dealing with domain and range, always check for points where the function may be undefined or where there are open intervals to avoid including incorrect values.
