Math Problem Statement
The entire graph of the function h is shown in the figure below. Write the domain and range of h as intervals or unions of intervals.
Solution
To analyze the graph of the function , we need to determine both the domain and range based on the behavior of the graph.
Domain:
The domain consists of all possible values of for which the function is defined. From the graph:
- The function starts at and continues up to , with a break between and , where the function is not defined.
- The points at and are open circles, indicating that these values are not included in the domain.
Thus, the domain is the union of the intervals:
Range:
The range consists of all possible values of that the function takes.
- The lowest point is at (at ).
- The highest point is at (at ).
- The function does not cover values between and based on the break in the graph.
Thus, the range is: [ [-1, 0] \cup [2, 4] ]
Final Answer:
- Domain:
- Range:

- Can a function have more than one disconnected interval in its domain?
- What is the difference between the domain of a function and its range?
Tip: Open circles on a graph mean that the point is not included in the domain or range, while closed circles mean the point is included.
