Math Problem Statement
Find domain and range
Solution
From the graph you provided, it appears to be a parabola that opens upwards. Let's identify the domain and range based on the features of the parabola.
Domain:
The domain of a parabola like this is the set of all possible -values for which the function is defined. Since the parabola extends infinitely in both directions along the -axis, the domain is all real numbers.
Domain: or in interval notation, .
Range:
The range of a function is the set of all possible -values. In this graph, the parabola has its lowest point at and opens upwards. Thus, the -values start from 0 and increase without bound.
Range: or .

Here are 5 related questions to deepen your understanding:
- How do we determine the vertex of a parabola from its equation or graph?
- What is the equation of this parabola based on the graph?
- How do you find the axis of symmetry of a parabola?
- How does the direction (upward or downward) of the parabola affect its range?
- What are the properties of a quadratic function that describe its behavior?
Tip:
When identifying the domain and range of a parabola, always consider whether it opens upwards or downwards, as this influences whether the range is limited from below or from above.
