Math Problem Statement
The fmdonain and range
Solution
From the image, we have a graph showing two curves. I will help determine the domain and range for the function described by the red curve on the right side.
Domain:
The domain represents all possible -values for which the function is defined.
From the graph:
- The red curve starts from an asymptote at (it never actually touches the line ).
- The curve extends to the right indefinitely, meaning it covers all .
So, the domain of the function is: (The function is defined for all values of greater than 0.)
Range:
The range represents all possible -values that the function can take.
From the graph:
- The red curve starts from negative infinity as approaches 0, and then rises indefinitely.
- The curve approaches , but does not cross or reach this line. So, the graph starts slightly above and increases infinitely.
Thus, the range of the function is:
Conclusion:
- Domain:
- Range:
Would you like further explanation on how the asymptotes or behavior of the function affect the domain and range? Here are some follow-up questions to explore:
- What is the significance of horizontal and vertical asymptotes in determining domain and range?
- How can we determine the behavior of a function near an asymptote?
- Could this type of function represent a rational function? Why or why not?
- How would the graph change if the vertical or horizontal asymptote were shifted?
- How can limits help in determining the behavior near asymptotes?
Tip: Always check for asymptotes when determining the domain and range of a function!
