Math Problem Statement

What is the domain of the function shown in the graph below?

Solution

The graph in the image represents a function that starts at x=1x = 1 and increases to the right along the positive xx-axis. To find the domain of the function, we need to identify the set of all possible xx-values for which the function is defined.

Domain Analysis:

  • The function begins at x=1x = 1 (including x=1x = 1) and continues indefinitely to the right (as xx \to \infty).
  • The smallest xx-value is x=1x = 1, and there is no upper bound for xx.

Thus, the domain of the function is: [1,)[1, \infty)

This means the function is defined for all xx-values starting from 1 and greater.

Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:

  1. How do you find the range of a function from its graph?
  2. What are the differences between open and closed intervals in domain notation?
  3. How would the domain change if the graph had a vertical asymptote?
  4. Can a function have a domain of all real numbers? Give an example.
  5. How would the domain change if the function started at x=1x = -1?

Tip: Always pay close attention to whether the graph includes the endpoints (solid vs. open points), as this will affect the domain interval!
