Math Problem Statement
Solution
The graph shown represents a function , and we are tasked with determining its domain and range in interval notation.
Domain:
The domain of a function refers to all possible -values for which the function is defined. From the graph:
- The -values start at (where the function has a closed point, indicating inclusion).
- The -values extend to (where the function has an open point, indicating exclusion).
Thus, the domain of the function is:
Range:
The range of a function refers to all possible -values that the function can take. From the graph:
- The -values start at (open point, so this value is excluded).
- The -values extend to (closed point, so this value is included).
Thus, the range of the function is:
Summary:
- Domain:
- Range:

Here are some related questions you might find helpful:
- What does a closed point on a graph signify?
- How can we determine if a point is included in the domain or range?
- What is the difference between open and closed intervals in interval notation?
- Can a function have multiple disconnected intervals in its domain or range?
- How do we determine the behavior of a function at endpoints?
Tip: Closed intervals (with square brackets) mean the endpoint is included, while open intervals (with parentheses) mean the endpoint is not included.
