Solution
To determine the domain and range of the function represented by the graph, let's break it down:
Given:
- The graph represents an upward-opening parabola with a vertex at .
- The parabola intersects the X-axis at points and .
Domain:
- The domain of a function is the set of all possible values of for which the function is defined.
- Since the parabola opens upward and extends infinitely to the left and right, the function is defined for all real numbers.
- Thus, the domain is .
Range:
- The range of a function is the set of all possible values of that the function can take.
- The vertex of the parabola is at , and since the parabola opens upward, the smallest value of is .
- The function takes all values of greater than or equal to .
- Thus, the range is .
Correct Responses:
- Domain:
- Range:
These are the correct choices for the domain and range.
