Math Problem Statement

find domain and range

Write the domain and range of the function h using interval notation.

Solution

The graph provided shows a continuous curve that starts at a point and descends downwards. Let's find the domain and range based on this graph.

Domain:

The domain refers to all possible xx-values (horizontal axis) that the function h(x)h(x) can take.

  • The graph starts at x=3x = -3 and moves to the right until x=2x = 2, with no gaps or breaks.
  • Therefore, the domain is the interval from 3-3 to 22.

In interval notation, the domain is: [3,2][-3, 2]

Range:

The range refers to all possible yy-values (vertical axis) that the function h(x)h(x) can take.

  • The highest point on the graph is at y=3y = 3, and the graph descends downwards, reaching the lowest point at y=2y = -2.
  • Therefore, the range is the interval from 2-2 to 33.

In interval notation, the range is: [2,3][-2, 3]

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this:

  1. How do you determine the domain of a function from its graph?
  2. What is the difference between closed and open intervals in domain/range?
  3. How would the domain or range change if the graph were extended beyond these points?
  4. What would the domain and range look like if the graph were a parabola instead of a curve?
  5. How does knowing the domain and range help in understanding the behavior of functions?

Tip: Always check for any gaps or vertical asymptotes in the graph, as they affect the domain!
