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 and increases to the right along the positive -axis. To find the domain of the function, we need to identify the set of all possible -values for which the function is defined.
Domain Analysis:
- The function begins at (including ) and continues indefinitely to the right (as ).
- The smallest -value is , and there is no upper bound for .
Thus, the domain of the function is:
This means the function is defined for all -values starting from 1 and greater.

- What are the differences between open and closed intervals in domain notation?
- How would the domain change if the graph had a vertical asymptote?
- Can a function have a domain of all real numbers? Give an example.
- How would the domain change if the function started at ?
Tip: Always pay close attention to whether the graph includes the endpoints (solid vs. open points), as this will affect the domain interval!
