Math Problem Statement

Write the domain and range for the given functions: 1) f(x) = -|x-2| + 3, 2) f(x) = 4x - 3, 3) y = 4x^2 - 2

Solution

Let's determine the domain and range for each function given in the image.

1. f(x)=x2+3f(x) = -|x - 2| + 3

  • Domain: The absolute value function is defined for all real numbers. Domain: (,)\text{Domain: } (-\infty, \infty)
  • Range: The absolute value function produces only non-negative values. Since it is negated (x2-|x - 2|), it reflects downward. The maximum value occurs at x=2x = 2, where f(2)=3f(2) = 3. As x±x \to \pm\infty, f(x)f(x) \to -\infty. Range: (,3]\text{Range: } (-\infty, 3]

2. f(x)=4x3f(x) = 4x - 3

  • Domain: This is a linear function, which is defined for all real numbers. Domain: (,)\text{Domain: } (-\infty, \infty)
  • Range: A linear function can take all real values. Range: (,)\text{Range: } (-\infty, \infty)

3. y=4x22y = 4x^2 - 2

  • Domain: A quadratic function is defined for all real numbers. Domain: (,)\text{Domain: } (-\infty, \infty)
  • Range: The quadratic function y=4x22y = 4x^2 - 2 is an upward-facing parabola with a minimum at x=0x = 0. At x=0x = 0, y=2y = -2, and as x|x| \to \infty, yy \to \infty. Range: [2,)\text{Range: } [-2, \infty)

Math Tip:

For absolute value functions of the form f(x)=axh+kf(x) = a |x - h| + k, the range is affected by kk (vertical shift) and aa (reflection and stretch/compression).
