Math Problem Statement

The domain of the function f(x) is left parenthesis, minus, infinity, comma, infinity, right parenthesis(−∞,∞) and the range is open square bracket, minus, 15, comma, 0, close square bracket[−15,0]. Using interval notation, find the domain and range of g, of, x, equals, f, of, x, plus, 7g(x)=f(x+7). Answer Attempt 1 out of 2

Domain: Range:

Solution

To find the domain and range of the function g(x)=f(x+7)g(x) = f(x+7), let’s analyze the transformations.

Step 1: Analyze the Domain

The domain of the original function f(x)f(x) is (,)(-\infty, \infty).

The transformation g(x)=f(x+7)g(x) = f(x+7) involves a horizontal shift of the graph of f(x)f(x) by 7 units to the left. A horizontal shift does not change the domain, so the domain of g(x)g(x) remains the same as f(x)f(x):
Domain of g(x):(,)\text{Domain of } g(x): (-\infty, \infty)

Step 2: Analyze the Range

The range of f(x)f(x) is [15,0][-15, 0]. Horizontal shifts do not affect the range, so the range of f(x+7)f(x+7) is still [15,0][-15, 0].

Final Answer

Domain of g(x):(,)\text{Domain of } g(x): (-\infty, \infty)
Range of g(x):[15,0]\text{Range of } g(x): [-15, 0]
