Math Problem Statement
Solution
The graph in the image shows a curve resembling a semi-circle, with the open circle indicating that it does not include the endpoint at the top. Let's address the three parts of the question:
-
Domain: The domain refers to the x-values for which the graph exists. From the graph, the curve spans from to . Since the graph includes both endpoints, the domain is:
-
Range: The range refers to the y-values that the graph takes. The graph exists from to , but since the top part of the graph (y = 0) has an open circle, the range does not include . Thus, the range is: The parenthesis indicates that 0 is not included in the range.
-
Function?: To determine if the graph represents a function, we apply the vertical line test. If any vertical line intersects the graph more than once, it is not a function. Here, several vertical lines would intersect the graph twice (once on each side of the semi-circle), so this graph is not a function. The correct answer is "no."
Summary of answers:
- Domain:
- Range:
- Function?: No

Here are 5 related questions you can consider:
- How do you determine the domain and range for different types of functions?
- What is the vertical line test, and how can you use it to determine if a graph is a function?
- How would the domain and range change if the circle at the top of the graph was filled in?
- What are some examples of graphs that pass the vertical line test?
- How can you modify a semi-circle graph so that it represents a function?
Tip: When determining if a graph represents a function, always visualize or use the vertical line test to ensure each x-value corresponds to only one y-value.
