Math Problem Statement

What is the domain and range for the given function based on the provided graph?

Solution

From the provided image, you are asking for the domain and range of the graphed function.

Domain

The domain of a function consists of all possible input values (x-values). Observing the graph, the function appears to extend indefinitely in both the positive and negative directions along the x-axis. There are no restrictions such as breaks or vertical asymptotes that limit the x-values.

Domain: (,)(-\infty, \infty)

Range

The range consists of all possible output values (y-values). Observing the graph:

  • The function decreases towards negative infinity as xx \to -\infty.
  • The function reaches a local maximum at approximately y=5y = 5.
  • The function has no upper bound as xx \to \infty (it increases indefinitely).

Range: (,)(-\infty, \infty)

Would you like a deeper explanation, or do you have additional questions?

Follow-Up Questions:

  1. What happens to the range of a function if there is a vertical asymptote?
  2. How would the domain change if the function contained a square root or logarithm?
  3. Can the range of a function be finite? Provide an example.
  4. How do vertical and horizontal asymptotes impact the domain and range?
  5. What tests can confirm if a graph represents a function?

Tip:

To determine the range of a function, look at the lowest and highest points the graph reaches (or extends to) on the y-axis.
