Math Problem Statement

Determine the domain (D(f)) and range (E(f)) of the given functions from their respective graphs.

Solution

The task is to determine the domain D(f)D(f) and range E(f)E(f) for each of the four graphs provided in the image. Let's analyze each graph:

1. Graph 1

  • Domain D(f)D(f): The graph exists for xx values from 2-2 to 44. Hence, the domain is D(f)=[2,4]D(f) = [-2, 4].
  • Range E(f)E(f): The graph covers yy values from 3-3 to 33. Hence, the range is E(f)=[3,3]E(f) = [-3, 3].

2. Graph 2

  • Domain D(f)D(f): The graph is defined for all xx values except at x=2x = 2, where there is a vertical asymptote. Thus, the domain is D(f)=(,2)(2,)D(f) = (-\infty, 2) \cup (2, \infty).
  • Range E(f)E(f): The graph approaches all yy values except y=3y = 3. Hence, the range is E(f)=(,3)(3,)E(f) = (-\infty, 3) \cup (3, \infty).

3. Graph 3

  • Domain D(f)D(f): The graph is defined for xx values from 4-4 to 22. Hence, the domain is D(f)=[4,2]D(f) = [-4, 2].
  • Range E(f)E(f): The graph covers yy values from 2-2 to 33. Hence, the range is E(f)=[2,3]E(f) = [-2, 3].

4. Graph 4

  • Domain D(f)D(f): The graph is defined for all xx values except at x=0x = 0, where there is a vertical asymptote. Thus, the domain is D(f)=(,0)(0,)D(f) = (-\infty, 0) \cup (0, \infty).
  • Range E(f)E(f): The graph approaches all yy values except y=3y = -3. Hence, the range is E(f)=(,3)(3,)E(f) = (-\infty, -3) \cup (-3, \infty).

Tip:

When determining the domain and range from a graph, always pay attention to asymptotes and endpoints, as these indicate where the function does not exist or where it has restrictions.
