Math Problem Statement

What is the domain and range of the function shown in the graph?

Solution

The graph in the image appears to represent a function that starts at approximately x=7x = -7 on the left and decreases as it approaches the right side of the graph. The curve seems to move from the top-left toward the bottom-right, resembling part of a linear or piecewise function.

Domain:

The domain refers to the set of all possible input values (x-values) for the function. From the graph, it looks like the curve extends indefinitely in both directions horizontally, which means the domain is all real numbers: Domain: (,)\text{Domain: } (-\infty, \infty)

Range:

The range is the set of all possible output values (y-values). The graph seems to start from a maximum y-value of around 7 and decreases as x increases. It doesn’t appear to drop below the x-axis, so the function only outputs y-values from 7 downward, possibly reaching negative infinity. Hence, the range is: Range: (,7]\text{Range: } (-\infty, 7]

Would you like further clarification on any of these details or the graph in general?

Here are 5 related questions to explore further:

  1. How would the domain and range change if the curve were bounded by certain x-values?
  2. What is the relationship between the slope of the curve and the direction of the graph?
  3. Can you determine the equation of this function if given more information?
  4. How would vertical or horizontal shifts affect the domain and range?
  5. What would happen to the domain and range if the graph had a different shape (e.g., parabola)?

Tip: When analyzing a graph, always check for any visible endpoints or arrows indicating where the function continues indefinitely to determine domain and range.
