Math Problem Statement

Write the domain and range of the function h(x) as intervals or unions of intervals.

Solution

Based on the graph provided, the function h(x)h(x) has a specific domain and range that we can extract visually from the plotted points.

Domain:

The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined. From the graph:

  • The leftmost point is at x=4x = -4.
  • The rightmost point is at x=4x = 4.

Thus, the domain is: Domain of h=[4,4]\text{Domain of } h = [-4, 4]

Range:

The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (y-values). Looking at the graph:

  • The lowest y-value is y=5y = -5.
  • The highest y-value is y=3y = 3.

Therefore, the range is: Range of h=[5,3]\text{Range of } h = [-5, 3]

Summary:

  • Domain: [4,4][-4, 4]
  • Range: [5,3][-5, 3]

Would you like further details or explanations on this?

Here are some related questions to extend your understanding:

  1. How can we determine the domain of a function if the graph isn't provided?
  2. What is the difference between the domain and range in a function?
  3. How do you identify whether a function is continuous or discontinuous from a graph?
  4. Can a function have gaps in its domain? What does that imply about the graph?
  5. How can we describe the behavior of the function h(x)h(x) at the endpoints of its domain?

Tip: Always check for open and closed intervals on a graph to determine if values at endpoints are included in the domain and range.
