Math Problem Statement
What is the domain of the function?
Solution
The image shows a graph of a function with its domain being asked. To determine the domain of the function, we need to observe the x-values for which the function is defined.
Analyzing the Graph:
-
Left side of the graph: The function starts from the left, where the x-values extend to negative infinity.
-
Intervals of x-values where the function is defined:
- The function is continuous from up to (marked with a filled circle at ).
- There is a gap in the function from to . The function resumes at (again, marked with a filled circle at ), and continues to .
- The function is defined for to with no interruptions.
-
Intervals where the function is not defined:
- Between and , the function is not defined.
- The function is defined again from to and resumes at extending to infinity.
The Domain:
- The domain of the function includes all x-values except for the interval where the function is not defined, i.e., from to .
So, the correct answer is:

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
- How would the domain change if the open circle at were a closed circle?
- What is the range of the function as shown in the graph?
- How can you determine the domain if the graph is not provided, but the function is given algebraically?
- If the function had been continuous without any gaps, what would its domain be?
- How do you determine the domain for piecewise functions?
Tip: Always pay close attention to open and closed circles in graphs, as they indicate whether specific points are included in the domain or not.
