Math Problem Statement
what are the domain and range of this linear function?
Solution
The graph in the image shows a horizontal line at . This indicates that the function is a constant linear function, meaning that for all values of , the output (or -value) is always .
Domain:
The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (in this case, -values). Since this is a linear function that extends infinitely in both directions along the -axis, the domain includes all real numbers.
- Domain: or "all real numbers."
Range:
The range of a function is the set of all possible output values (in this case, -values). For this graph, the -value is always no matter the -value, so the range consists of just the single value .
- Range: .
